Wholesale Distributor-Swarovski crystal beads Asking: $3,900,000 * Gross: $1,005,000 * Net: $93,000

This business for sale is a Los Angeles based Wholesale Distributor of Swarovski crystal beads with domestic and international distribution. This is a very unique opportunity to buy into an industry with a very high barrier of entry.

This 12 year business has a relationship with Swarovski which allows them to buy crystals for prices cheaper than their competition. The company has been able to pass that savings on to their clients which has resulted in a sterling reputation with very loyal customers.

The company currently has inventory worth approximately $3.2 million based on their cost. About 1/3 of the inventory is considered vintage crystals because Swarovski no longer manufactures them. These vintage crystals sell at a much higher profit margin. Also, every year Swarovski raises their prices by approximately 3%. This also makes the inventory become more valuable over time.

The Owner believes that the future of his business is to convert his revenues to the online market. The Owner does not have the expertise to do this.An ideal buyer will be somebody who can make this conversion. This will result in much higher profit margins since right now almost all of his business is done on a wholesale level. Retail mark-ups are approximately 3x higher than wholesale mark-ups.

This business can be easily relocated.

Designer and Clothing Manufacturer Asking: $1,200,000 * Gross: $2,500,000 * Net: $450,000

Los Angeles based garment designer and manufacturer. Top clients include Nordstroms, Ross Stores, TJ Maxx, Dillards, Loehmanns, and Steinmart. This company specializes in women’s blouses and sells to some of the leading retailers around the world. Two years ago the company moved into a state of the art facility and spent over $1 million in FF&E (Fixtures, Furniture and Equipment). The owner’s intention was to build a turnkey operation by buying large Italian sublimation thermoprinters and all of the equipment to operate a dye house. This business is ideal for anybody with a strong manager with a designer background and a sense of fashion. The business is priced to sell quickly. The owner is going through a vicious divorce and needs to sell to finalize the terms. This is a profitable business that did well in the recession and has plenty of upside as the economy gets better. It is unusual to find a manufacturer selling at such a low multiple. This is really a unique opportunity.

HOW TO SELL YOUR BUSINESS WHEN YOU ARE THE KEY TO YOUR BUSINESS

On August 11, 2011, in Business Valuation, How to Buy, How to Sell, by Dan Munter

In a perfect world, when owners decide to sell their business, a buyer will come forward and write a check for the full asking price. In the real world, this rarely happens. There are so many reasons why this rarely occurs.  In this blog, I want to focus on one of the most important issues.

One of the biggest risks for a buyer is whether the business will survive without the seller’s presence, knowledge and relationships.  I want to give you some actual examples of businesses I have both recently sold and am in the process of selling.

I have a client who wants to sell his insurance business.   He has done a wonderful job creating and running his one man business.  However, when selling his business he has a big problem.  The only asset that he is selling is the relationships he has with his clients.  You would think that very few buyers would be willing to take that risk. However, after listing the business for less than 2 months, I have already had over 300 inquiries. The challenge has been to bridge the gap between the business opportunities and the inherent risks of this type of transaction.

The key to selling the business is the Earn-Out structure.  An Earn-Out is a contractual provision stating that the seller of a business is to obtain additional future compensation based on the business achieving certain future goals.  In the insurance example, the buyer would pay 50% up front to the seller of the agreed offering price. After the 1st year, he would pay an additional 25% based on how much business is generated from his book of business during that year. After the 2nd year, he would pay the final 25% based on the business generated from his book of business for that year.

This arrangement gives the seller a vested interest in making sure that his clients stay with the new owner.  It also takes away some of the risk to the buyer. If some of the clients do not transfer over, then the buyer will end up paying less for the business.

I recently sold 2 businesses where the buyers saw a great opportunity to make money but were buying businesses that they did not have any experience in.  Once again, we structured the sales with an Earn-Out.  This time the purpose was to make sure that the seller had a stake in the business while training the buyer. The seller realized that the better he trained the buyer, the more upside he had in the final price. The buyer liked the arrangement for that reason and also because it he could retain some of his capital and use for other purposes. The Earn-Out in both of these cases was structured with equity. The buyers bought 80% of their respective businesses with a contract to buy the remaining 20% over a 2 year period.  The final result was a win for the buyer and a win for the seller.

Please feel free to contact Dan Munter at dmunter@bizex.net if you would like to discuss this further.

Cooking School Asking: $250,000 * Gross: $428,865 * Net: $0

This is an excellent opportunity to own one of the premiere cooking schools in Los Angeles. The location has a beautiful, state-of-the-art culinary studio with eight fully equipped kitchen workstations, each with its own oven, stove and kitchen aids.

In a recent article in Angelino magazine, the school was described as, “an upscale culinary boutique with a specialty bakery, cooking classes and events space”. Currently, approximately 85% of its revenues come from cooking classes and parties. 10% from catering and 5% from renting out the space for things like television shoots.

Cooking classes range from their acclaimed summer cooking camp for kids to all sorts of classes such as “Farmers Market Feast” to “Gluten Free Cooking” to “A Taste of New Orleans”. Approximately 65% of the students are repeat clients! There are over 4000 client names in their data base.

They also have an impressive list of corporate clients that either use them for catering or have corporate sponsored cooking events at the school. Some of their clients are Disney, Google, Sony and AOL.

This is a great chance for somebody who has a love for cooking or teaching or both.

If you would like additional information, you will need to fill out an NDA which can be found at www.bizex.net. If you have questions, please email Dan Munter at dmunter@bizex.net or call me at 310-882-2200 ext.121.
