Financials

Three-year financials

Financial Resilience Score: 3/10

BESUPPLY GmbH is a very small, founder-led e-commerce micro-entity with only €25,000 share capital, incorporated as a GmbH in February 2022 following a spin-off from a sole proprietorship. As a Kleinstkapitalgesellschaft under German commercial law, it is exempt from publishing a profit and loss account, meaning no revenue, EBIT or equity figures are publicly available to assess profitability or resilience quantitatively. The thin equity cushion typical of micro-entities limits the company's ability to absorb inventory shocks, FX movements, or working-capital stress. Qualitatively, the business shows some positive signals: a Trusted Shops-certified webshop, multi-channel presence (Shopify + Amazon.de), diversified tea product range, and operational continuity predating the GmbH formation. However, key-person dependency on sole managing director Benjamin Schwolow, platform concentration risk on Shopify and Amazon, competition from larger players (Teekanne, TeeGschwendner, Yogi Tea), and import exposure to Japan/India/China suppliers weigh against resilience. Overall the profile is that of a small niche DTC brand with limited financial transparency and modest buffers.

Key strengths: Trusted Shops certification with 30-day buyer protection, Diversified product range across loose-leaf teas and accessories, Multi-channel sales via own Shopify shop and Amazon.de storefront, Operational continuity through predecessor sole proprietorship BESUPPLY e.K., Low fixed-asset e-commerce reseller model limits capital intensity

Risk factors: Micro-company scale with only €25,000 share capital and thin equity cushion, Key-person dependency on single managing director Benjamin Schwolow, Minimal financial transparency due to § 326 HGB P&L exemption, Competitive pressure from larger, better-capitalised tea brands, Supplier/import risk from Japan, India, China exposing company to FX, freight and tariff risk, Platform concentration risk on Shopify and Amazon
