Empire Flippers X AMZ Prep Partnership
The Safe Way to Buy and Sell Amazon FBA Businesses
Empire Flippers has brokered over $400 million in online business sales—vetting every listing, verifying every number, and managing migrations for 2,391 successful transactions. They’ve mastered the art of safely transferring Amazon FBA brands between owners.
But the real work begins after the deal closes. New owners inherit supplier relationships they didn’t build, inventory systems they don’t know, and fulfillment workflows that can’t afford disruption.
That’s why Empire Flippers partners with AMZ Prep – giving buyers the operational infrastructure to run what they just acquired.

Meet Empire Flippers
The Marketplace Built on Trust and Transparency
Founded in 2011, Empire Flippers emerged from a simple observation: buying and selling online businesses was unnecessarily risky. Inflated revenue claims. Hidden liabilities. Transfers that went sideways. Sellers left exposed to copycats. Buyers left holding businesses that weren’t what they paid for.
Empire Flippers built something fundamentally different – a marketplace where every business is independently vetted, every number verified against actual analytics, and every transfer handled by experts who’ve done thousands of them.
Why Business Transitions Need Operational Partners:
Inventory arriving from overseas suppliers you’ve never worked with.
SKUs that need prep work you don’t have infrastructure for.
Seasonal demand fluctuations requiring storage flexibility.
Multi-node distribution strategies you didn’t design.
Returns processing and quality control systems.
Compliance requirements for various product categories.
What Makes Empire Flippers Different
Rigorous Vetting Process
Empire Flippers independently verifies revenue, traffic, expenses, margins, and ownership against primary records. Listings that don’t meet strict verification standards are rejected – no exceptions.
Full-Service M&A Brokerage
Empire Flippers manages the entire transaction, from valuation and negotiation to deal structuring and due diligence support for both buyers and sellers.
Dedicated Migrations Team
Every sale includes a hands-on migrations team that transfers accounts, domains, suppliers, inventory data, and operational assets. This critical phase is fully managed and included at no additional cost.
Buyer & Seller Protection
Secure escrow, verified migrations, legal safeguards, and strict confidentiality ensure risk is minimized at every stage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this partnership
I'm selling my Amazon business through Empire Flippers. How does fulfillment affect the sale?
Clean fulfillment operations increase business value. Brands using professional 3PLs like AMZ Prep (rather than DIY fulfillment) are more attractive to buyers because operations transfer more easily.
Can AMZ Prep stay on as the 3PL after Empire Flippers sells my business?
Yes. AMZ Prep contracts can transfer to the new owner. Many buyers prefer acquiring businesses with established fulfillment relationships rather than rebuilding vendor relationships.
Does Empire Flippers require specific fulfillment documentation for the sale?
Empire Flippers needs accurate inventory counts, fulfillment costs, and operational procedures. AMZ Prep can provide detailed records of inventory levels, processing costs, and standard operating procedures for the sale.
I'm buying a business through Empire Flippers that uses AMZ Prep. Should I keep them?
That’s your decision, but transitioning 3PLs during acquisition adds risk and operational disruption. Many buyers keep the existing AMZ Prep relationship during transition, then evaluate later.
