Business Resources

The Buyer:

This business simply needs an energetic and motivated salesperson to focus on resellers, commercial builders, architects & specifiers. A broad understanding of the construction sector and/or flooring markets would be useful, but there is nothing technical about this product range that cannot be learned from the outgoing owner or the supplier. The ideal buyer is:

• Senior rep or account/product manager wanting to do their own thing

• An existing supplier to these markets seeking a bolt on product

• A Chch base is not essential but this is where the admin & logistics support is currently based

• This support can be brought back “in-house” saving a cash overhead of $65k + GST
