MAIN AUSTRALIAN WHOLESALER & DISTRIBUTOR – $2M+ NET PROFIT P.A. | 38-YEAR INDUSTRY LEADER

A rare opportunity to acquire a dominant, long-established wholesale and distribution business operating at the core of the Australian ladies' fashion supply chain. Established in 1988, this business has traded continuously for nearly four decades and is regarded as a main industry supplier to both online and brick-and-mortar retailers across Australia.

The operation services a database of 400+ active customers, including independent boutiques, chains and online sellers, delivering highly diversified revenue and strong repeat ordering. The business is fully systemised and operates under management, making it particularly attractive to overseas investors, visa buyers and hands-off owners seeking scale, stability and proven earnings.

Key highlights include a 38-year operating history with deep supplier, designer and customer relationships; a wholesale and distribution model that is not dependent on retail foot traffic; a full-time experienced manager in place; owner involvement of approximately 10 hours per week focused on supplier and designer relationships; and a secure long-term lease renewed recently, running to 2028 with a further option.

Financial performance is exceptional. Weekly sales average approximately $70,000 plus cash. Cost of goods is around 30%, with total weekly operating expenses of approximately $27,140. Indicative weekly net profit is approximately $42,860, translating to an estimated annual net profit of around $2.2 million plus cash. The expense structure is lean and well controlled, including rent of approximately $2,000 per week (including GST and outgoings), management and staffing costs of approximately $3,140 per week including super, casual labour of around $250 per week, and miscellaneous overheads of approximately $1,000 per week.

The business holds substantial tangible assets, including stock on hand valued between approximately $1.5 million and $2.0 million. Staffing comprises one full-time manager (13 years on the job) on $120,000 per annum plus super, supported by casual staff for approximately 10 hours per week. Established supplier networks, designer relationships and operating systems ensure immediate continuity of trade and cashflow from day one.
This opportunity is ideally suited to overseas buyers seeking Australian business visa pathways, investors seeking strong and consistent cashflow at scale, wholesale or distribution groups looking to expand market share, or buyers seeking a proven under-management operation with significant upside. Growth opportunities include expansion into international B2B markets, private-label and exclusive designer ranges, increased penetration of online wholesale platforms and strategic overseas partnerships.

This is a rare acquisition of a main Australian wholesale and distribution platform with nearly four decades of trading history, exceptional profitability, experienced management and significant tangible assets. Confidential enquiries only.
