Business For Sale. Mail Order Distribution

California business for sale - This company is the industry leader, selling a well known household product. This is a uniquely simple mail order business. Ads are placed in major newspapers and periodicals nationwide every week. A customer mails in their order - the check goes to the bank and the order goes to a fulfillment center. The current owner bought the business from its founder approximately 10 years ago. With simple changes and a dedicated effort, sales increased steadily until the Anthrax scare of 2001. Sales the following year dropped by 50%; as senior citizens avoided mail deliveries in an over reaction to the threat. At the same time the owner began to suffer serious health issues which effectively removed him from active day to day participation in the business for the past 3 years. In the absence of the owner';s presence, the business has been run by the employees for the past three years. It currently operates at a breakeven level. THIS IS A BUSINESS THAT COULD BE RELOCATED ANYWHERE. The brand name is widely recognized as the industry leader so the owner will agree to finance part of the sale on an 22;earn out22; note.
