detail

This iconic business has been operating for over sixteen years and is showing consistent growth in both sales and profitability. The business enjoys strong buying power and is very well regarded by its clients. The retail showroom is well appointed and whilst the customer base is primarily residential 'after market' there is room to grow the 'new build' and commercial sales.

Highlights

  • Growing sales and profitability
  • Recognised brand with significant growth potential
  • Exceptional Product Range
  • Diverse and loyal customer base
  • Currently run by 1.4 FTE husband and wife
  • Experienced and long term staff
  • Only a modest marketing spend is required
  • Modest overheads and excellent lease
  • Stock circa $130,000

The business has experienced consistent growth in both sales and profit, with over 20% of sales falling to the bottom line as owner income. Continued strong demand for their product range and acknowledgement of their customer service excellent reinforces the positive prospects for this business.

The ideal owner would be a people person who enjoys working with a good team of staff, and enjoys sales and business development. Alternatively they could be strongly analytical or 'numbers driven' and take on the quoting role currently being done by the owner. No specific industry knowledge or skills are required, and this is a solid business that would suit a full time working owner who enjoys building relationships with customers and staff.
