detail

Our client has advised us that he wishes to move on to other opportunities, and has therefore said that we should present all offers for the business.

This Auckland based business sells mid to high end kitchens and other cabinetry. All production and installation is outsourced to a small number of external providers. The normal risks and complications of managing a factory and an installation team are therefore avoided. There is only one employee, plus part-time accounting support.

Sales are made to a highly diversified range of private and commercial customers. The largest customer in the year to 31 March 2020 made up 13% of sales,with the second largest at just 3%.

Recent press coverage has highlighted that, post-COVID, New Zealanders are choosing to spend money on their homes, given that they cannot travel overseas. This business is poised to benefit from such spending.

The business is still in growth mode, and there is scope to grow sales by increasing marketing spend.  At present very little time or money is invested in this area. It is currently a Monday to Friday only operation. 

Business strengths

  • Fundamentally simple business model
  • All production and installation outsourced
  • Only 1-2 staff members to manage
  • No reliance on any single customer
  • Monday to Friday operation 
  • Over $400,000 invested in fitout and display products
  • Still in growth mode and poised to benefit from post-lockdown renovation spending
  • Good level of forward orders
  • Extended handover available by negotiation if required

This business is likely to suit someone with good sales and marketing skills, and an eye for design.
