OpenStore operates in the e-commerce sector by acquiring online businesses, managing them for a year, and selling curated products from exclusive brands. The company guarantees original owners a set monthly income during the management period, providing financial security regardless of the business's performance. This model appeals to online store owners looking to sell their business and those preferring a hands-off approach. OpenStore generates revenue through the sale of curated products and the eventual resale of the acquired businesses. Their hassle-free acquisition process allows for business purchases to be finalized in as little as two weeks, distinguishing them from competitors. The goal of OpenStore is to create a seamless transition for business owners while offering a diverse range of curated products.
