RETAIL SPORTING GOODS –
SELLING TO RECREATIONAL TEAMS
This
is a retail sporting goods business selling primarily team uniforms,
shirts and caps that have been screen printed or embroidered with
the team’s or school’s logo (80%), in addition to customized
trophies (20%).
The
business has a long history of successful operation with substantial
repeat business – due in part to its inventory of thousands of
team logos on file for screen printing.
The
owner made a decision to stop soliciting business directly from
schools to simplify the retail operation by eliminating outside
sales calls. While the
business continues to sell to several schools that have been
long-time customers, this is an area of potential growth for a new
owner.
To
replace some of the lost school business, the owner has focused on
embroidered products for companies, plus the mainstay of his
business - recreational and select teams.
This customer base also provides better margins for the
business.
The
business has shown improving gross profit over the pass few years,
along with improved net profit - in spite of the economic downturn
of the past two years. This
business will provide a steady income for a new owner without much
effort – and a great base to increase sales and profit for a new
owner who wishes to provide more aggressive marketing and sales
effort.
PURCHASE PRICE:
The
business is offered for sale for $99,950 (reduced from $120,000) free and clear of debt.
