Business for Sale Overview:
The interior design industry employs creative designers that are too often placed in an environment where they must push current inventory, products or lines based upon their employer’s needs, rather than the needs of their clients. This business was "designed" to overcome those limitations by allowing Designer Associates, employed as independent contractors, to work creatively within their own communities on their own schedules. They take a project approach to design and start with a strong emphasis upon listening and learning about their clients and the spaces they want to enjoy. Designers are encouraged to pursue and fulfill their clients’ needs. The result has been growth, client retention and a growing word-of-mouth referral rate. This is interior design for the 21st century! If you are an interior design professional and have always wanted to have your own business. This is exactly what you've dreamed of.

Property Features and Assets:
The business is primarily web based allowing Designer Associates to operate from their home offices. The firm also has access to executive suites in the communities it serves for meeting with clients. The central office is a home office and occupies 350 square feet of office and library space. This office could be located anywhere convenient to the buyer, between Milwaukee and Chicago.
Market Competition and Expansion:
This is virtually the only business of its kind in the Chicago/Milwaukee greater metropolitan area. It differs from the competition by virtue of its ability to cover a very large geographic area and yet generate very low overhead (no bricks & mortar, all Designer Associates are independent contractors and almost no inventory). They handle everything from area rugs to cabinets and furniture to accessories. Services are comprehensive, a true one-stop shop for residential interior design. Their business model permits simple and fast scale-up. Promotion is primarily web based and expansion into new territories is easy and inexpensive. This flexible, low overhead model, with few fixed costs, works well in both a growing and shrinking economy! It also allows the business to easily & quickly "re-tool" and pursue new markets, such as kitchen & bath space.
