Business Overview:
This business manufactures and distributes fire-starter products that can be used in campfires, outdoor grills, fireplaces, and even wood stoves. The user can sprinkle the product onto kindling and easily light it for a natural, organic, and food-safe fire. It's completely safe and simplifies the fire-starting process so that the results can be enjoyed immediately. The product is made from locally sourced wood chips mixed with a proprietary igniter and sold in several different-sized packages that are designed for convenience and the specific needs of the consumer, from single 2 oz. cups (also in six packs), and 3 qt. jugs, to 2 gal. decorative tins. The product is currently distributed nationwide via Amazon and by select retail stores in Montana and has a long-term sales history.
Property Features and Assets:

Market Competition and Expansion:
<p>Competition is about average for this type of product, but gross margins are healthy, and customers are more interested in the quality and consistency of the product than price.<br></p><p>Some health issues in the past have held back the owner from aggressively marketing the product, but the growth of outdoor recreation will drive future growth and bring sales back to where they were a couple of years ago. Additionally, online sales and repeat business should underscore the product's future growth potential and build the sales base.<br></p>
