Ideal Buyer
This is a full-time business operation rather than a part-time hobby. However, a new owner may choose to scale back production, be selective about the jobs accepted, or develop the business further according to their own goals.
The ideal buyer should have basic but demonstrated sewing skills, along with a practical understanding of how items are assembled and disassembled. With the existing customer base, templates, equipment, supplier relationships and training included, this is an opportunity to take over an established operation with a strong industry presence.
Reason for Sale
The business is being offered for sale due to the owner’s planned move overseas.
Asking price: Available upon genuine enquiry.
A great opportunity for an upholsterer, marine trimmer or hands-on business operator looking to acquire an established niche business with an existing reputation, regular commercial work and a loyal customer base.
