This decorative product was created by a large Canterbury based door manufacturer approximately 4 years ago. Significant investment has since been put into the development of this trademarked brand, which is well recognised in the industry for innovation, quality and design flexibility. This is well represented in the actual branding itself, the POS material, website and marketing, and the product features and benefits. Large merchants such as PlaceMakers and Carters already have in-store displays of the product in many of their stores. A new product line has recently been added to the offering and is included in the sale.
June was their best month ever, with $60k in sales.
All the hard work has been done, and the product is in its infancy in terms of potential. All current sales are passive, with only a few hours per week being spent on the business processing orders.
This business could make a great strategic bolt-on for an existing business linked to the building or design industry, or an individual/couple who could either run it as a side business or commit full-time and really grow the brand and sales. The more hours put into this business the more sales you will make!

Leads are generated within the territory and dealer website and by the product manufacturer via their website. The dealer organises a site visit and does a measure up, with a quote to follow. Once the quote is accepted a deposit is paid, the product is ordered from the manufacturer and the installation is completed.
The current owner both sells and installs, albeit a new owner seeking growth could potentially outsource the installs to devote more time to selling.

Press Release: nzbizbuysell Wednesday 2 November 2016
Nzbizbuysell works with leading business brokers who have their finger directly on the business-trading pulse, such as Damien Fahey from Tabak Business Sales. Damien says they are still experiencing a strong demand for good businesses, especially from locals, that are not directly aligned with deconstruction or rebuild work. This includes the wider areas of Selwyn and Waimakariri.
“The sentiment around town is that it’s an exciting place to be part of. We have come through the turmoil, and are now making up the new rules. He says for example the vibrant cafe scene provides a great place to meet clients and do business.”
“Every year since February 2011 has been better than the one before - and I don’t see that changing. Owning your own business is not difficult; all that’s required is a good understanding of the systems, the clients’ needs, along with sound sales and management skills and some tenacity.
. It is often the best way to get ahead financially especially if it has a good cash flow and customer base. The sectors we deal in that are doing particularly well are import and distribution, import and direct sales, trades services, niche retail, manufacturing, engineering and fabrication.” He says buying an existing business cuts down lengthy set-up time and therefore provides immediate cash-flow.

Tabak SI is on track to confirm the sale of businesses worth nearly $11m in the last twelve months – this on top of a strong finish to the 2015FY which saw over $8m of businesses sold.
If you are not on our buyer database, our best advice to you is to get in touch and register. We sell over 80% of our businesses to existing database buyers. Beyond registering, make yourself known to us! The more we know about your background & skills, the better placed we are to identify the right opportunities for you. In fact in the last 18 months several sales were made directly to a buyer we identified as being the right fit – this ensured complete confidentiality through the process.
Our South Island team of Damien, Russell and Diane are looking forward to another busy and successful year in 2016, finding you the right opportunity to purchase.

Hi everyone,
The above pie chart shows the variety and split of businesses sold by Tabak nationwide in the last 9yrs. The SI has contributed around 28% of the sales, a statistic that we are proud of.
The bar chart shows the difference between Tabak’s marketing price and actual sale price. In 6 of the last 9 years Tabak’s total sales for that year are within 5% of where we valued those businesses. We value businesses realistically and we are usually very close to the actual result; perhaps this helps Tabak stand out from its competitors?
Rent rolls - we have a number of active buyers for rent rolls, ranging from “room by room” right up to executive houses. If you know any property managers who wish to realise their asset, Tabak can deliver them a buyer for their rent roll at good value.
If you know people seeking a good business to buy, they should contact Tabak and register as a preferred buyer; and also we welcome enquiry from prospective vendors of good businesses.
Take Care
