Why buy this Licensor and Manufacturing Business

Licensor and Manufacturing Business for Sale Christchurch

The Business

This business has multiple revenue streams, including kitset sales of components to a nationwide sales & installation network, plus localised “retail” sales and overseas distributors. Sales & margins are on the rise and the business is an established nationwide brand, within its niche for many years. The product design and componentry has been historically under-pinned by patents & trademarks. Very little seasonality with a range of “after-market” products suited to both the cooler and warmer months.

Agents

Most areas have established agents operating, albeit there are still several attractive territories available for sale. The most established agents have been operating for many years and some are focused and driven to increase the value of their individual businesses, whilst others will benefit from the energy and enthusiasm of a new Licensor.

The Market

Sales are made primarily to residential clients, mostly “after-market” improvements to their properties, and these improvements are demonstrable. Significant R&D has been applied to products appropriate for the commercial market and this remains the single largest untapped opportunity available to this business. Advertising royalties accruing to the Licensor ensure there is an adequate advertising spend on both branding, and also local marketing.

Business Resources

The Seller; the Buyer

The owner would like to slow down. They will provide extended vendor support, and will remain available for a longer transfer period if required but unlikely to be fulltime availability after the initial three months. The buyer will require business development & people skills, whilst an interest in home improvement products would also help. The current owner is a mix of “on” and “off” the tools – the new owner could structure a role that best suits their skill set, as there are several other staff supporting the licensor function, whose roles could be taken by the new owner.
