This is a leading supplier, direct importer, national wholesaler/distributor and online seller of an extensive range of high quality, always-required, constantly in-demand, custom branded and general sporting apparel, equipment and related accessories. Includes being the national distributor for a number of the most renowned and world leading sporting products to boot!
• This enterprise is a renowned brand, building itself a “safe and commercially secure” position within the diverse product and client supply segments, within the growing sports product supply industry. This enterprise is simply one of the longest-operating and mature participants within its many product and client segments, nationally.
• Let’s talk about passive pipelines of income...this business has them, and they feed into the bank account simultaneously! These include online and webstore-based sporting product orders being placed directly by consumers (using the websites owned by the business), and it collects these paid upfront, inbound and passive transactions from anyone, located anywhere in the country. This means that this importer, who purchases directly from manufacturers around the world, is receiving a growing volume of sales direct to consumers – being the “holy grail” of being in business, able to claim a more bountiful profit margin! The 2nd pipeline, among many others, is the fact that it has agencies around the country who collect client orders, using their wholesale client networks, and feeds through their orders, on a commission-only basis. Low-cost sales is the outcome...and the detailed profile will delve into all the many other pipelines that this business continues to profit from, reliably.
• This is also a 3PL operation, which could be expanded upon by the new owner (all will be trained and the many managers manage the warehouse, business development and national sales activities), or an existing industry operation could herald this transfer as a “once in a lifetime” option to become the recipient of millions of dollars of sporting industry sales... Plus, the obvious high gross profit and net income advantages are assumed quickly! With its 3PL services provided to contracted clientele, there is potential to expand upon this area of the business, if a new owner or existing industry business has an appetite and is motivated to generate further sales and profit growth.
• This is one heavily relied upon, direct-from manufacturer, importer (majority of stocked items are not sourced from Asia), wholesaler/distributor and direct online supplier of an extremely large range of all things sports! Poised like never before for a new owner or existing industry business to own a product distribution business that is not only unique but has remained highly differentiated and commercially protected for decades. As, it includes the contracted distribution rights for the world’s leading and niche market sporting products. Diverse in not only its product range, suppliers and client market segments it supplies, it also remains dominant and in command of the order fulfillment of a large range of niche market items. These are keenly sought after by the general market of users, including schools, clubs, multi-store brand corporate business clients and other outlet based resellers of this business’s offering.
• Due to this product range, the supply chain and large client base being so diverse, it makes for a lower-risk investment, able to fortify its position as one formidable and large market player.

Clients enjoy and are willing to pay more for their very own branded products!

Posting a high percentage of online sales growth coupled with its extremely high repeat order rate, which most can’t beat, continues the theme of being able to offer any new owner a pronounced “commercial security”.
• This business’s sales funnel includes receiving a flow of inbound school orders which offers one of the greatest growth areas nationally for this business, including expanding upon the already large base of sporting club and association clients, and wholesale business clients, reselling this popular brand’s range within their own businesses, day to day.
