Owner Financing is Available
Business for Sale Overview:
The company is one of the original success stories once grossing millions of dollars each year in what was a highly competitive candle and ceramic market. Due to it’s long developed techniques and specialized equipment it is now poised to return to that level of activity as a dominate player in the high-end, high margin market.
The seller was focusing on rebuilding sales and lists a number of brand name high-end retail and gift stores as long term customers. The independent “sales force” has been provided with all the necessary marketing materials and samples enabling them to provide a first rate product presentation to new potential retailers and special areas such as the veterinarian market. The breakup of the business partnership forced the remaining owner to focus on the operations and production aspects of the business as well as the marketing functions covered by the previous partner.
The company has a long term core group of employees that know the operation inside and out. The previous owner was actually semi absentee. He paid little attention to the business and no attention to marketing,
choosing to live off the momentum built up over the years of pull through market demand.
Business activity indicates that gross sales could double within the next 6 to 8 months with little or no increase in overhead expense. Potential buyers will be required to demonstrate that they will have access to enough working capital to support a growth marketing model.
The business is set up and equipped to produce high volumes of both décor candles and ceramics.
