Online darts shop selling to players, pubs and clubs

Casual and league players, pubs, social clubs and parents buying for keen juniors.

You buy at trade price and sell at retail, keeping the margin. Small add-ons like flights and cases boost the basket size, and bundles help too.

• Knowing darts and what players want
• Basic website or marketplace selling
• Packing and posting orders reliably

• Consumer rights rules on returns, delivery and product descriptions for online sales, check the details on GOV.UK
• Check that you can legally sell what you list; darts are generally fine, but check any age restrictions with your marketplace and Trading Standards
• Stock tied up in slow-selling items, so order small at first
• Competition from large online sellers, so a niche or good service matters
• Registering as a sole trader or company, and VAT once you pass the threshold

Startup costs are typically around £500 to £4,000, depending on how much stock you hold and how you set up your shop. These are estimates, so order small at first to avoid tying up cash in slow sellers.

Monthly revenue is typically around £300 to £3,000, depending on your range, pricing and how many customers you reach. These are estimates, and competition from large sellers means a niche or good service can matter.

Check consumer rights rules on returns, delivery and product descriptions for online sales on GOV.UK. Check any age restrictions with your marketplace and Trading Standards, and how to register as a sole trader or company, and VAT once you pass the threshold.
