Description

You're seeking long term stability in a business and you desire to be a vital part of wonderful growing community? Let's connect and determine if this business will support your life goals and dreams and if you would qualify to become the new owner of this 50+ year old furniture and appliance retailer.

Don't they always say location, location, location? You certainly can't beat this and nor can you beat a 50+ year reputation for providing quality products and services. This in the business sense = stability. Now, here's where it gets fun:

1. Are you real estate investment minded? Incredible location to transform this property into so much more, starting with the existing unused space that sits above the store, could become your personal residence or a rental unit. This is just the tip, as there are some significant possibilities here in a community that is desperate need for additional rental accommodations.
2. The owners are tired and have been working little in the business the last few years, allowing for staff to take care of much/most of the daily operations. Good for someone who wishes to work very little, great for someone who recognizes the potential in the business. We've worked with several of these businesses in the past and profits can be easily improved.
3. Part of a longstanding buying group, early pay discounts, purchase agreements, and supply discounts in place.
4. Many upgrades done to show room and building, in great shape and one can focus solely on the business.

The owner is selling 100% of the authorized and issued share capital of the company. The offering price considers Working Capital is adjusted at $0, meaning the negotiated working capital amount will be in addition to the offering price. See Financial section for more details.

By completing the NDA and becoming adequately qualified, you will be sent a full Offering Memorandum that will answer most, if not all, of your questions when the listing becomes live.
