The Opportunity

This business sells high quality tooling and equipment into a variety of trade sectors.  The business model is fundamentally simple. They are one of the leading resellers nationwide of a high-end power tool brand who are very selective on who sell their products.

The current owners have another business that is growing rapidly and therefore reluctantly need to sell. While based in Canterbury, there is no lease commitment for the new owner, therefore it could be relocated immediately.

Business Strengths

  •   Written agreements with key suppliers
  •   New, better pricing with large suppliers just agreed
  •   Over 50% of sales are online and this is growing
  •   60% of sales are to the North Island
  •   High end products
  •   Incredible e-commerce website
  •   Monday to Friday operation
  •   Majority B2B
  •   Scope for significant further growth
  •   High quality stock (approx. $130k value at cost)
  •   February looking to be the biggest online sales month to date


This business is likely to suit someone with good sales and marketing skills, and ideally a basic understanding of construction/trade processes and tools. Full training/handover will be provided.

One dedicated full-time working owner would thrive in this business, as would a couple who are happy to share duties.

With building consents on the increase, and interest rates on the decrease, now is the perfect time to seize this opportunity!
