Well Established Seafood Vending Business. For Sale
This fantastic home based business is well established with nearly three years of trade history within the Central Highlands area.
An easy to operate three day week is the big feature and a mile of scope for expansion with wholesale and other localities totaly undeveloped at this stage.
Due to a new direction with politics the owner wants to sell in order to devote all of his attention to the upcoming State elections.
The business currently employs one staff member on a commission basis but this position would not be required by an owner operator freeing up approximately $60,000 per annum in wages to go back to the owner on top of profits.
Due to wet weather and the owners not being able to fully reach the business potential this year the business has gross sales for the 2011 calender year of $334,231.62, but this is well below the 2009/2010 sales of just short of $500,000.
Operating on a 44% gross profit the return on sales for 2011 is $147,038 with potential to substantially increase from developing wholesale markets and expanding into close by centres currently not serviced, ie; Gem Fields, Springsure, Moura, Cappella, Clermont, Moranbah, Dysart, Middlemount, Tieri are all as yet not serviced and represent a doubling of retail sales alone.
Supply of stock is easy and all phone based with freight to Emerald or Rockhampton, currently no processing is required but to add the fresh aspect this is an option, or if you have links to commercial fishing an intergrated business model would thrive.
The vehicle is easy to operate and state of the art refrigerated display with freezer storage in one unit makes it super convienient with no trailers or on site storage required
