• A Handyman's Dream
• Ideal 1st business, Western suburbs, 5 days per week
• Popular metal products to established client base

Net profit to the part time owner working 2 to 3 days per week for the 08/09 financial year was around $54,000. An enthusiastic full time operator should easily improve the business. A rare opportunity for a sales oriented handy person with some metal knowledge to purchase this profitable business with excellent growth prospects at an affordable price. The vendor is happy to provide a generous handover to the successful purchaser.

This business produces a wide range of popular plastic moulded products that are regularly demanded from customers in the gardening, industrial packaging, consumer goods and toy market sectors.

This business is being offered based on its asset value only - not on a profit multiple.

Key Features:

• Currently trading profitably but needs additional sales effort, very good scope to grow
• Established for over 20 years
• Own range of successful products (business owned dies)
• Loyal / regular customers base
• Products made to order
• Impressive capabilities with 6 good quality blow moulding machines
• Experienced employees
• Modern, efficient, well located premises in Northern suburbs.

Unique opportunity to purchase an extremely well equipped business for little more than the value of the plant & equipment. Manufacturing a range of products (on a make to order basis) for a very impressive customer base, the operation has been virtually run by the staff for the last 3 years - with little or no direction or input from the owner. The result has been a drop in sales and profit that cannot be entirely blamed on the GFC. T/O for 10/11 was around $1.5 million with a profit to the absentee owner of just under $100K. History shows this business can comfortably produce profits of $300K+ and the market is definitely there for the new owners to jump in and get this business back to where it should be!

• Well established business of 13 years.
• Modern premises and plant.
• Excellent client base; one off to long term and repeat customers.
• Popular sheet metal products to established clients.
• Structured to handle a variety of jobs.
• Experienced employees.
• Trades 5 days pw and closes over the Christmas / New Year period.

New owner needs good general management skills and ideally will have experience within the sheet metal fabrication industry.

Wonderful opportunity to operate a successful business with solid trading history and enjoy the Gold Coast lifestyle offered by its location.

Under management – close to CBD

15 years established, great reputation, modern equipment, experienced employees, strong order book, impressive growth and profitability, very high quotation acceptance. Owner has developed other interests. Key features:

• ‘project managing’ each job … customers love the service as they deal with one organisation only for the in-situ product
• inner suburban customers …there are very few cabinet makers/joinery businesses within 3km of the CBD
• domestic and commercial sectors … capability in both sectors gives flexibility and ‘spreads the eggs’ if one sector becomes quiet
• made to order products … reduces the threat of import competition
• ‘availability’ … being accessible to customers with advice, well presented and timely quotes and most of all, on-time installation
• yielding an attractive ROI
  

Fantastic opportunity to purchase a supplier of packaging to a range of industries including healthcare, food, agriculture and many others. This isn't the 'run of the mill', it's a niche player with a very strong customer base and a significant point of difference in the market. The largest customer has just renewed a 2 year contract for a minimum of 12 million units and the balance of customers are mostly large and small packaging wholesalers. Profit to the owner has been around $200,000 to $250,000 over recent years. The owners started the business in 1985 and are now looking to retire after many successful years. We believe new enthusiastic owners with a basic understanding of manufacturing will easily improve this well established operation.

Very rare opportunity to purchase a business supplying products and services to one of the undisputed growth markets in the country. The 10/11 year was up by 37% on last year AND last year was up by nearly 20% on the previous year! T/O is around $1.6 mil with profit to the owner of approximately $400,000. The customers are a fantastic mix of multinationals, large and small local companies and the general public. Cash flow is super quick as most customers pay 7 - 14 days (yes, even the big ones!) and the business has a host of long term management and customer service staff in place. A basic understanding of manufacturing is all that's required to run and the business is perfect for a partnership or family.

Established in 1983, this business supplies products to an impressive mix of public and private companies, local and state Government organisations and many others around Victoria. T/O in 10/11 was around $1.7 mil with profit to the owner of $300K.The factory is very well equipped, enabling it to manufacture virtually all products in-house with minimal reliance on sub contractors or outside suppliers. A basic knowledge of metalwork is all that's required (no, you don't have to be an engineer!) This is an excellent business for owner/operators or would be a great addition to an existing business. The owners are looking to retire but are happy to provide a generous handover period to the successful purchaser.

Long established business supplying a range of packaging products to end users and distributors across metro Melbourne and regional Victoria. T/O is around $3.0 mil PA with profit to the owner of $300K+ PA. Enormous plant and equipment list and loyal, long term staff. There are no technical skills required and this is an excellent business for owner/operators or would be a great addition to an existing business. The owners are retiring but are happy to provide a generous handover period to the successful purchaser.

Originally established in 1968, this business is a world class manufacturer of a range of surgical instruments to re-sellers, OEMs and end users in Australia, Europe, USA, Asia and the Middle East. The business is ISO certified and TGA, FDA, EEC registered and products are CE marked. There is a great mix of sales and service and the day to day operation is handled by experienced staff and the part time owner. The EBITDA for 10/11 was approximately $300,000. This is a perfect bolt-on for a surgical/medical manufacturer or supplier looking for access to international markets. Alternatively, enthusiastic owner operators can purchase a highly regarded international manufacturer and take advantage of the ample excess production capacity.

Established in the 1979 by the current owner, this highly regarded engineering business is a specialist heavy vehicle repairer for the mining, agricultural, off-road and transport industries. General engineering is also performed in-house as required.

Turnover last year was approximately $1.4 million with profit to owner around $420k. The business has a good spread of customers and enjoys strong cash flow. Trades 5 days per week.

Ideally suited to an engineer/tradesman seeking to acquire a well-established and profitable business with minimal competition in the growing Hunter Valley Region in NSW. Alternatively, the business would be a great addition to an existing engineering-related business looking to expand into the Hunter Valley region.

Established by the current owners in the late 1980's this business manufactures a range of plastic packaging solutions for a large customer base in Victoria and some interstate. T/O is around $2.6 mil PA and EBITDA has averaged approximately $300,000 p.a. for the last 3 years. This business is a bit old and tired and would definitely benefit from having new enthusiastic owners looking to build on this very solid base. The owners are looking to retire but are happy to provide a generous hand over to the successful purchaser.
