Business for Sale Overview:
Established in 1996 this business specializes in plus sizes for real women wanting modern, stylish and trendy clothing. They have since become one of the leading mail order and internet suppliers in this market offering 100% cotton jersey products and designed specifically with this type of lady in mind. A lucrative but oft neglected niche area of ladies fashion.
The ethos of the company is simple, all women wish to look good irrespective of size or shape and they should all have an equal opportunity to achieve this desire. Based on this premise the business was born. They now provide stylish clothing for ladies ranging from 12 to 40 sizes, all in natural fabrics of 100% cotton jersey.
They produce two catalogs per year, the spring/summer collection and the autumn/winter collection. The catalogs are sent out to over 18,000 potential purchasers and are also available on their e-commerce web site.
All designing is done in-house by the founding partners of the business, as is the pattern cutting. Patterns and designs are then sent to the manufacturers for final production. Virtually all orders received are then produced to order, with little in the way of stock holding being necessary.
