ADJUSTED ANNUAL PROFIT: $320,000

COMMENTS: THIS HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL AND EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTORSHIP PROMOTES THE MARKETING AND SALES OF VERY POPULAR, HIGH-QUALITY EUROPEAN HEALTH RELATED PRODUCTS FOR THE KITCHEN AND THROUGHOUT THE HOME, DIRECTED TO THE END USER. 

THIS UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY INCLUDES EXCLUSIVE PRODUCT SALES AND DISTRIBUTION RIGHTS FOR THE FOUR WESTERN PROVINCES FOR AN EXCLUSIVE LINE OF HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER PRODUCTS THAT ARE WORLD RENOWNED, HIGHLY RESPECTED AND ARE CURRENTLY SOLD IN 40 COUNTRIES.

THE BUSINESS HAS BEEN HOME BASED FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS AND CAN BE RELOCATED TO MOST ANYWHERE IN BRITISH COLUMBIA, ALBERTA, SASKATCHEWAN OR MANITOBA.

THE MAJORITY OF THE REVENUES QUOTED ABOVE WERE GENERATED OUT OF A SMALL GEOGRAPHIC AREA IN NORTHERN ALBERTA. THESE REVENUES WERE GENERATED WITH THE EFFORTS OF JUST THE TWO OWNERS AND ONE PART-TIME INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR.

THE CURRENT OWNERS ARE READY TO RETIRE AND WILL PROVIDE THE EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTION RIGHTS AND COMPREHENSIVE TRAINING NECESSARY TO REPLICATE THEIR VERY SUCCESSFUL SALES SYSTEMS IN MOST ANY COMMUNITY IN WESTERN CANADA. THE LARGER THE COMMUNITY, THE GREATER THE POTENTIAL FOR GENERATING INITIAL REVENUES AND RECURRING REVENUES THAT SHOULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN ARE CURRENTLY BEING GENERATED IN NORTHERN ALBERTA.

THE EVEN GREATER OPPORTUNITY IS TO OPERATE ADDITIONAL SALES CENTRES IN WESTERN CANADA AND/OR GRANT SUB-DISTRIBUTORSHIPS THROUGHOUT WESTERN CANADA.

SPECIFIC INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE IS NOT NECESSARY TO ACQUIRE AND GROW THIS BUSINESS AS THE SELLERS WILL PROVIDE FULL TRAINING. THE IDEAL PURCHASER WOULD BE A HUSBAND AND WIFE TEAM OR AN ORGANIZATION WITH SALES AND MANAGEMENT SKILLS, AN INTEREST IN HEALTH AND NUTRITION AND WOULD ENJOY HELPING PEOPLE TO IMPROVE THEIR LIFESTYLES THROUGH HEALTHY LIVING.

FULL IN-HOUSE TRAINING AND SUPPORT MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED, INCLUDING A COMPREHENSIVE OPERATION AND TRAINING MANUAL AND ADDITIONAL PROPRIETARY SALES MATERIALS.

 * THE FAIR MARKET VALUE FOR THIS BUSINESS IS SIGNIFICANTLY MORE THAN THE $285,000 THAT THE CURRENT OWNERS ARE WILLING TO SELL IT FOR SO THAT THEY CAN RELOCATE TO THE MARITIMES AND RETIRE.

CATEGORY: PUBLICATIONS

TYPE OF BUSINESS: FRANCHISED REAL ESTATE PUBLICATION

LOCATION: VANCOUVER ISLAND

FULL PRICE: $250,000

DOWN PAYMENT: $250,000

ANNUAL GROSS SALES: $592,000

ADJUSTED ANNUAL PROFIT: $123,000

COMMENTS: THIS VANCOUVER ISLAND INTEGRATED ONLINE/OFFLINE MAGAZINE FRANCHISE IS PART OF A WELL ESTABLISHED 35+ YEAR OLD NORTH AMERICAN BRAND THAT WAS VOTED THE #3 ADVERTISING FRANCHISE ACROSS NORTH AMERICA IN 2008. AS THAT RANKING WAS #3 IN ALL CATEGORIES, ARGUABLY IT WOULD HAVE RANKED #1 IN THE “REAL ESTATE” CATEGORY.

FROM LAUNCH UNTIL NOW (JUST ENTERING ITS 3RD YEAR) THE COMPANY HAS BEEN PROFITABLE AND HAS REMAINED PROFITABLE DURING THE RECENT ECONOMIC DOWNTURN.

REPRESENTING REAL ESTATE OPPORTUNITIES ON THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER COAST IN NORTH AMERICA BY RETIRING BABY BOOMERS, THIS TURN-KEY BUSINESS IS A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY FOR AN OWNER THAT EITHER WANTS TO TAKE IT ON FROM A SALES CAPACITY AND GROW IT TO ITS MAXIMUM POTENTIAL, OR THAT WANTS TO BE SEMI-RETIRED AND SIMPLY MANAGE THE EXISTING OPERATION. THE BUSINESS IS SYSTEMIZED TO THE POINT IT RUNS LIKE A WELL OILED MACHINE WITH THE CURRENT SALES DIRECTOR IN PLACE.

THIS FRANCHISE HAS LITTLE COMPETITION ACROSS NORTH AMERICA AND ON VANCOUVER ISLAND IT IS THE STRONGEST ADVERTISING VALUE PROPOSITION REAL ESTATE COMPANIES HAVE TO REACH POTENTIAL REAL ESTATE BUYERS, ACROSS THE WORLD. THE MARKETING SYSTEM PROVIDES SUCH A RICH, INTEGRATED MARKETING PROGRAM TO REALTORS AND THE REAL ESTATE COMMUNITY, THAT ADVERTISERS RARELY OPT OUT (EVEN IN THE CURRENT MARKET).

THE MAGAZINE PUBLISHES 13-TIMES PER YEAR (EVERY 4 WEEKS A NEW ISSUE HITS THE MARKET) AND IS WIDELY DISTRIBUTED ACROSS VANCOUVER ISLAND. ONLINE, THIS FRANCHISE AUTOMATICALLY SYNDICATES CLIENT’S LISTINGS TO MASSIVE WEB PARTNERS ACROSS THE WORLD.

NOW IN ITS THIRD YEAR, WITH THE MARKET RECOVERING, THE OLYMPICS ON THE WAY AND BABY BOOMERS SET TO RETIRE AND WITH VANCOUVER ISLAND AS A MOST DESIRABLE DESTINATION, THE INCREASED CASH FLOW OPPORTUNITY IN THE NEAR FUTURE OF THIS BUSINESS IS A MASSIVE. THE FINANCIAL OPPORTUNITY IS IDEAL FOR SOMEONE WITH VISION TO TAKE ON THIS VERY PROFITABLE OPPORTUNITY NOW AND TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

NO INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY TO ACQUIRE AND GROW THIS OPPORTUNITY, ALTHOUGH GOOD BUSINESS KNOWLEDGE AND CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS ARE A DEFINITE ASSET FOR ONGOING CLIENT RETENTION AND GROWTH.
