Alright guys. In the interest of learning and some fun I am going to find random, unconventional businesses for sale and post them on the forum for analysis and witty comment. Who knows where this will lead.
First up:
Pet Casket Company for sale.
Located in a major US city
Price $10,000 (Furniture / Fixtures and Inventory / Stock included)
Revenue $10,000
Profit $6000
"We offer several options for handling the remains of pets. We are a manufacturer of caskets for cats and dogs that are made out of a durable corrugate, which is completely biodegradable. Company contains all equipment to produce these caskets. All machinery is pneumatic and requires no electricity. All products are manufactured out of green materials and our caskets are environmentally safe. We also resell urns made out of metal, oak and walnut. The urns for cats and dogs feature a frame that will allow for a photograph or poem insert. All natural wood urns can also house a plaque that can be engraved. Business sale includes all manufacturing equipment to produce all products advertised plus over 300 units in inventory."
Support & training:Will fully train operations of website and business. Furniture / Fixtures value:$100,000 (included in the asking price) Inventory / Stock value:$20,000 (included in the asking price)I am not trying to promote this sale. Just trying to learn. What would the buyer need to know here? What would the pros and cons of the deal be? How does one establish valuation?
I do see cost of future materials as being a concern. Also, how to grow demand for product?
