Gourmet, Niche Market and Boutique Light Manufacturer of Popular Condiments #394

Industrial/Manufacturing | Business for Sale | Brisbane

This is a 38-Year-Old, Brisbane Based Gourmet, Niche Market and Boutique Light Manufacturer of a Large Range of Popular Jams, Sauces, BBQ Rubs, Relishes, Mustards and More … Supplying Three Distinct Client Groups; A Diversity of National Wholesale Businesses (Volume Based Orders), A Large and Growing Online Consumer Base (100% Paid Upfront), Plus Offering Contract Manufacturing - 'White Label' Clients. Offering Any New Owner or Existing Food Business a High Rate of Regularly Returning and Re-Ordering Clients. This High 63% (approx.) Gross Profit Margin (24/25) And Low-Cost Model Supports Its HACCP Approved, Highly Systemised Operation. Support Staff Are Also Included Within this Package!

  • After nearly 4 decades of trading, this business knows a thing or two about supplying the national independent market of wholesale business clients. Offering a large range of already stocked and proven popular, niche and boutique food products. This light manufacturer has since amassed a large, core group of organically growing, high quality and great paying businesses. It also comes with a naturally expanding, 100% paid upfront online base of product purchasers.
  • This business is not just your average boutique food manufacturer and national wholesaler of products that are hard to find elsewhere, enjoying the financial spoils of having so few direct competitors within its space.
  • This investment has emerged over the last decade as a reliable producer for those who want their own brand emblazoned on these tasty products. Being both shelf stable and offering clients a long shelf life across the entire gourmet food and artisan product range.
  • This is the key, providing food topping options that enhance any type of meal or snack. Supplying a long list of volume-based product ordering independent supermarkets, convenience stores, online product resellers, mini marts, tourist attractions, Hotels, Air B&B's, gift stores, food service establishments and hamper companies. Even the Olympic committee has since asked that this range be a contender for product supply for this international event.
  • Differentiation is key for the independent wholesale business clients, who wish to be set apart from the major supermarket brands. This business is their answer, able to source ingredients from local farmers and businesses. With its focus being to keep all products as naturally tasty as possible - proudly free of preservatives, additives, and all the nasties that other mass-produced products usually include.
  • The 'edge' is what this business gives its clientele, other than the obvious flavour bursts when the products are consumed. There is potential expansion of the contract labelling segment sales. With there being three diverse income streams, this maintains a lower overall commercial risk for any new owner stepping in.
  • With such regular orders being received, online via the website, via the core wholesale base, including re-ordering own labelled products from contract clients, the orders just keep flowing. Making marketing and advertising an option. Contract manufacturing keeps a 'sticky' relationship with the new and existing business clients, which is always a great thing to have at the centre of a business. It simply saves the client money, able to outsource the producing of a product that they can promote as their own.
  • When you are a well trusted and extremely long established, this HACCP accredited commercial kitchen (includes semi-automatic mixing and filling machines etc) and wholesale/distribution – plus the bonus of being online means that naturally recurring rate of client re-ordering remains exceptionally high. And is only open 4 ½ days – 1 production shift required per day only! Units of products produced could be doubled over time by the new owner or an existing food company who is strategically acquiring this endeavour.
  • The third pillar of financial potency and overall commercial strength is the fact that a 10,000+ (approx.) strong contact database of online product consumers is being transferred to the new owner. The success of this business requires that the new owner has no prior industry knowledge or experience. This owner had no food background at all and has made a complete success of this venture!
  • This transfer could be one of the most strategic moves for an existing food product producer, wholesaler/distributor or online supplier – nationally or locally. Why not add this loyal client base, making it treasured value for any existing business. More marketing to this ever growing, online and web-based client market is what a new owner needs to get ready to benefit from. Although, for nearly 4 decades, this business has remained a niche producer and national wholesaler/distributor at heart - being a producer of its core sales volumes, to date.
  • Importing only a few ingredients, and many unique and proven popular recipes are ready for transferring. There is also a well-trained and extremely effective team of staff in place. All are able to ensure the product order fulfillment remains effective, day to day. This part-time hour owner remains largely office-based (including home based), enjoying the time, lifestyle freedoms and flexibilities of investing in one's own business.
  • Providing ample option to continue to grow in all three directions, with ample more consumers purchasing relatively organically online. The fact remains, that once clients discover this range, it is usually repeat purchasing from then on.
  • Online sales continue to grow relatively organically, and the contract manufacture client leads are inbound, with constant enquiries from businesses wanting to see their own brand of these products. This being the answer for many prestigious business's, food related tourism attractions, gift hamper companies, celebrity chefs and the list goes on.
  • This business has since grown its sales volumes by a factor of 5x since this owner took over nearly a decade ago. And there are no signs of this slowing. But this owner has since achieved the original goal and is now moving on for 'change sake'. It has been many years of basking in the glory of a high net income yield and repeat order volumes. This is one wholesome and yet diversified tale of commercial success, driven by a passion to do good, produce what tastes the best, whilst supporting the local and greater community.
  • This business can also confirm that it has so few direct competitors, due to its market positioning and diverse clientele.
  • There is more where this profit came from, now being ready for the new owner or existing food company to step in and make this even greater! This business has since arrived at the beginning of its next stage of growth, offering a very strong base and a high return ordering rate, primarily. A highly profitable contract manufacturing client added $400K (approx.) to this business's bank account, including supply contract. These large contracts arrive throughout the trading period.

All in a day's work for the manager and staff of this business. With all this value and more being transferred as a total 'sales and profit momentum' already in hand, package. All is for just $795K + SAV ($250K approx.)
