Online and Wholesale – Australian Clothing and Homewares

This business has traded successfully for over 25 years during which time it has established a loyal clientele of clients who buy online, via the owner’s own retail store or via a network of established wholesale customers located across Australia and overseas.

Historically sales have exceeded $4M pa but the owner made the decision to scale back overseas sales to simplify the business, reduce staff count etc to make the business more manageable (for someone who prefers art to management!).

The business focuses on producing (non-fashion) apparel and homewares targeted primarily at ladies over 30 who have a passion for sustainability.

The company produces timeless designs including many based on 100% organic cotton materials grown in a sustainable manner.
Strong relationships exist with overseas manufacturers.

The business will need to relocate on sale, and around 250 sqm of space will be required for storage and office facilities. There are a number of industrial estates in the local region that would be suitable if the buyer wished to keep the business close to its current location.

The 2 key staff could continue to work from home if required with a slight reorganisation of tasks.
