detail

A unique opportunity has presented itself to secure a preeminent New Zealand Import, Wholesale and Distribution business.  Not only does this business tick the boxes as far as business goes - it also opens the door to an industry of style and design.  

The business is well established and is recognised for its quality and service.  In addition to being a supplier of some of the leading brands in this sector, the business also has Brand Ownership protected by Trademarks.

The strength of the brand and its distribution has allowed it to weather the storms and maintain and in some aspects grow market share. As a result of this, the business has been trading well and is profitable.

The business is well resourced in terms of staffing – reducing the day-to-day need for shareholder input.  A new owner may choose to assume the role of the GM or recruit to fill that position and spend more time working on the business.  

Due to retirement, the Shareholders have decided to place the business on the market. As part of the process, the Directors are willing (subject to final agreement) to offer an extensive handover.

Financial Performance

While there has been some recent volatility, the business continues to perform well.  The business has a June balance date.  It is expected to have a turn-over of c$3.3m with a GP of 49%.  The normalised forecast for FY26 is revenue of $3.7m with a GP of 49%.  As the owners have decided to retire, they have scaled back on some aspects of business.  A purchaser may opt to reinstate some market sectors to grow the business both locally and abroad. 

The business is currently overseen by the owners.   A provision has been made (subject to the rationalisation of an existing role) for the appointment of a new General Manager should a purchaser wish to do so.  

Strengths of the Business

  • Strong Financial Performance
  • Branding and history
  • Brand ownership – with registered trademarks
  • Diversified product lines
  • Fully staffed
  • Diversified customer base; and

The Vendors are prepared to offer reasonable assistance to the purchaser in order to facilitate the handover of the business.
