AND MUCH, MUCH, MORE

Profitable, secure, long established cash-flow businesses that have a long established repeat order client base are extremely hard to find…
…This is such a business!
The business has an excellent reputation which is borne out by the fact that the bulk of their business comes from established repeat customers that order on a monthly basis.

EASE OF OPERATION
No special knowledge is required to successfully manage the business. All of the day-to-day operations are carried out by a small dedicated team of competent employees which totals only 2. The owner simply needs to put very little (about 22 hours a week average) into managing this highly efficient, smooth running business.

PRODUCTS
Probably the most widely used products throughout the world many of which are nationally and internationally recognised, make it virtually impossible to go wrong.
Because products are constantly in demand by such a massive number of people they virtually sell themselves.

This business is a true wholesale distributor that has harnessed a huge range of products that are essential, affordable and in constant demand, generating both new and repeat sales. Both the business and its products have stood the test of time (established 27 years) as this global multimillion dollar industry appeals to all demographics and age groups.

The average time between ordering to delivery is approximately ten days. The business has exclusive representation into its mainstream customers who it supplies.

MINOR/LIMITED COMPETITION
The business has a history of strong growth and the luxury of only one major competitor. This in itself is a rare feature that will be impossible to match in other businesses.

SELF PROPELLED BY MASS CUSTOMER GROWTH
Evidence of new accounts opening on a regular basis is reflected by the solid growth performance since inception of the business. More importantly, current year to date sales are well up over the previous years results putting the business on target for another record year.

LOYAL BLUE CHIP CUSTOMERS
This business has developed a reputation for excellent customer service over its 27 years and is seen by clients as professional, organised, and flexible. The result is trust and loyalty from the company’s clients with No bad debts.

The customer base is long established, some in operation for more than 18 years and the majority make purchases on a monthly basis. Automatic re-ordering is made simple by the use of industry standard computer programs utilised by 95 percent of this business’s customers.

Currently the business’s main focus is to service existing customers and there remain many niche markets that have not been fully exploited. This provides significant opportunities for increased sales and the business should grow in direct proportion to the rate at which the facility is marketed.

WHAT – NO STOCK!!
This business is fortunate in that it is not required to purchase any trading stock as it is a direct conduit between supplier and this business’s customer base. The main upside of this is you need virtually NO WORKING CAPITAL. Try finding another wholesaler that could match this feature alone. Orders are mostly taken two to three months in advance guaranteeing continued sales into the future.

THE OWNER’S INVOLVEMENT
At the present level of trading, the business requires the part/time attention of a single owner prepared to work approximately 22 hours per week.

The owner’s duties are by no means onerous and the business is able to close for two to three weeks over Christmas. Another benefit the business has to offer is the opportunity for the owner to take additional holidays attached to interstate or overseas conferences.

THE SUCCESS STORY SO FAR…
1. Long established cusutomers with most ordering monthly
2. A record of a high standard of service because of its systemised process.
3. A proven history of continuous growth since establishment.
4. An exceptionally profitable business with five day trading.
5. A stimulating work environment, interacting with a diverse range of people.
6. Combine business with pleasure – tax deductable travel opportunities.
7. This business is considered to be the largest of its type in WA.
8. But here is the best part – owner works only 22 hours per week (approx)

STAFF LEVELS
The systems in operation have evolved over a long period of time and are as simple as possible and easy to learn. Besides the owner the business employs only 2 staff members and, in simple terms, operates on a daily cycle of ordering and sales.

Both employees work full time in the business. One started working in the business some 8 years ago and the other 3 years ago. Each is paid a salary of approximately $46,000 per annum plus incentives.

No formal qualifications are required for staff and the owners suggest that only a small amount of handover training would be required and are willing to co-operate with whatever is reasonably necessary.

STAFF TRAINING
Staff training is based on a comprehensive staff manual and induction program. The time required to train a sales representative is approximately one week with some on going help if they have no previous related experience.

MARKET SIZE
In every year of its operation the business has continued to established many new customers, with a minimum number of accounts opened each year. Added to this, each time one of its customers changes hands excellent restocking opportunities arise.

The growth of the market is driven by several factors.

Regional population increases result in new accounts. Country areas account for 20 percent of accounts and the potential exists to develop this further. Many new stores have been established in regional Western Australia in the last five years including: Port Hedland, Karratha, Newman, Bunbury, Busselton and Albany.

Suburban expansion has resulted in the opening of new stores or new shopping centres as well as the refurbishment of existing sites. Recently established or refurbished accounts have included: Currambine, Lakeside Joondalup, Mt Lawley, Mt Hawthorn and Midland Gate.

Future accounts are likely to arise as new shopping centres’ open, such as Mt Lawley and regeneration of the City.

And with the unstoppable urban spread self propelled by population growth, will no doubt mean a demand for more infrastructure and retail outlets. More customers means automatic sales growth and that means higher profits. This is truly an exciting fun business with unrivalled lifestyle qualities offering the new owner not only low risk, low working hours and holidays’, but also the opportunity for tax deductable travel.

GROWTH POTENTIAL
A very comforting aspect of the business is the broad market that has not been tapped. This together with minimal competition suggest the business is only limited to the extent of the owners input.
