TYPE OF BUSINESS: UPSCALE BRIDAL BOUTIQUE

LOCATION: OKANAGAN

FULL PRICE: $650,000

DOWN PAYMENT: $500,000 *

ANNUAL GROSS SALES: $750,000

ADJUSTED ANNUAL PROFIT: $170,000

COMMENTS: THIS UPSCALE BRIDAL BOUTIQUE WAS ESTABLISHED IN THE OKANAGAN VALLEY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA, EARLY IN 2005. IN LESS THAN 4 YEARS, THEY MADE THE DECISION TO EXPAND THEIR BUSINESS BY RELOCATING TO A 3,700 SQUARE FOOT LOCATION. BEFORE THEY MOVED IN, THEY INVESTED OVER $150,000 IN HIGH QUALITY LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS. AS A RESULT, THEY NOW OPERATE ONE OF THE MOST ELEGANT BRIDAL BOUTIQUES IN ALL OF BRITISH COLUMBIA!

ONE OF THE SECRETS OF THEIR RAPID GROWTH AND CONTINUING POPULARITY IS THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE SECURED EXCLUSIVITY WITH ONE OF THE TOP BRIDAL & GRAD GOWN DESIGNERS IN NORTH AMERICA. THIS GAVE THEM A LOCK ON THE MARKET FOR HIGH END GOWNS AND THEIR REVENUES STARTED INCREASING RAPIDLY.

ANOTHER REASON FOR THEIR POPULARITY IS THAT THIS IS A “FULL SERVICE BRIDAL BOUTIQUE.” THEY ASSIST THE BRIDES, BRIDESMAIDS AND GRADS WITH EVERYTHING FROM THEIR INITIAL ONE-ON-ONE CONSULTATION WITH A HIGHLY TRAINED BRIDAL CONSULTANT TO PRIVATE APPOINTMENTS, TO LARGE, PRIVATE PODIUM ROOMS, TO IN-HOUSE SEAMSTRESS SERVICES FOR ALTERATIONS, TO FREE STEAMING AND STORAGE SERVICES. THEY EVEN HAVE A LIVE WEB CAM SERVICE FOR THOSE BRIDES WHOSE FAMILY AND FRIENDS LIVE OUT OF THE AREA (EVEN OVERSEAS), BUT WANT TO JOIN IN THE EXPERIENCE.

THIS BRIDAL BOUTIQUE RECEIVES THE MAJORITY OF THEIR NEW BUSINESS FROM REFERRALS FROM THEIR VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMERS. THEY HAVE ALSO SEEN A NUMBER OF GRADS WHO PURCHASED THEIR GRADUATION GOWNS IN THE EARLY YEARS OF OPERATION, NOW BECOMING BRIDES AND BECOMING REPEAT CUSTOMERS.

INCLUDED IN THE PURCHASE PRICE IS $150,000 IN INVENTORY, AT COST, AND $95,000 WORTH OF FURNITURE, FIXTURES & EQUIPMENT, WHICH ARE IN ADDITION TO THE $150,000 THAT WAS INVESTED IN LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS.

THEY ALSO HAVE AN OUTSTANDING WEB SITE.

ABSOLUTELY NO INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY AS THERE IS AN EXPERIENCED STAFF ON HAND AND THE SELLER WILL PROVIDE FULL OPERATIONAL TRAINING.

* THE SELLER WILL EVEN CARRY BACK UP TO $150,000 FOR A QUALIFIED BUYER!
