Description

Is it your time to become the driving force of this community staple, one that has proven to be both a requirement and an appreciated supplier of convenience and other desirable food, personal, or household items? This updated, well respected and patronized, and highly rated convenience store, with a wonderfully inviting 3-bedroom owners’ suite will provide qualified and motivated buyers with both a secure base of business as well as opportunity to expand the product and/or service offering. Strong customer demand has proven to exist in this growing rural area, located not more than 45 minutes from downtown Halifax.

A few key highlights that support the positioning of this business’ future:
1. Most critical equipment items have been purchased new in the last 2 years and significant renovations have been made, providing you with a solid capital base that requires no further or near-term additions. Turn-key, ready to go, with confidence the years ahead are unlikely to require reinvestment.
2. The owners have owned the business for almost 3 years. Understanding the efforts they’ve made thus far, it’s clear there are immediate opportunities for improved supply arrangements, adding additional demand from the community and improved profits for the business.
3. Perhaps you’re a family who values working together, supporting / teaching entrepreneurship and many of the values successful business ownership requires. Family business is almost always more profitable than otherwise, with increased customer satisfaction, reduced labour costs, and increased profits.
4. The local area’s continued growth for the foreseeable future is sure to be a boon for increased revenues.

* Seller's Discretionary Earnings (“SDE”) is a calculation of the total financial benefit that a single full time owner-operator would derive from a business on an annual basis. SDE is the pretax and pre-interest profits, before non-cash expenses, owner's benefits, one time investments, and any non-related income or expenses. SDE may require that expenses be adjusted if a new owner (Purchaser) will necessarily need to take on a new expense. SDE is also referred to as Adjusted Cash Flow, Total Owner's Benefit, Seller's Discretionary Cash Flow, or Recast Earnings.

** Please refer to our Minimum Equity requirements. Our expectations are for a buyer to be "capable" of making a minimum 35% down payment on the final negotiated purchase price, to be considered truly qualified. Typical loan amortizations for the real estate portion of this business are 20 years and 7 years for the business portion. Feel free to run some of your own calculations here:
