Representative Listings:
Profitable Bonsai Nursery and Pottery Business
$259,443
Please, read about this opportunity only if you are someone who loves bonsai trees and Japanese pottery, and who wants to live on a beautiful gently sloping acreage whose meadow leads you down to Mary's River.
If you have been thinking that you might want to move from your too-hectic location to a peaceful Oregon valley, and the words "sanctuary" and "safe haven" resonate with you, then perhaps you will want to look into this unusual (and profitable) business.
The owner has pulled off one of those miracles in life and business that are all too rare: she created one of the top import businesses in her field, established an impeccable reputation among a broad and loyal customer base, and built a picture-postcard operation in one of Oregon's most lovely areas.
Why would she sell such a business, which continues to grow, after some 30 years of giving it her all? The reason is that she is now dealing with a serious illness; one that will require loving family support in another state.
There is a catch, though. The chickens. There are ten of them. They have names, and they go on walks with the owner down to the river. She can't take them with her, and she is hoping the new owner will adopt them.
This business is being offered at a price that was calculated to provide the buyer a double-digit return on investment, based on proven performance. At a time when banks offer returns in the range of 1% to 3%, might the idea of earning more than 20% on one's investment be intriguing? There are no guarantees of course, but the offering price is based on a three-year weighted average of demonstrated cash flows; it is definitely not plucked from air. (Oops! Sorry, chickens; I didn't mean to say "plucked!")
If the idea of living in a secluded valley that is close to a thriving university town seems like your future, please contact the broker. A non-disclosure agreement is required, and then detailed financials are available to qualified buyers. Please see the BizBuySell Ad: 649036

Two top-rated Mrs. Fields / TCBY franchises in premium locations available for acquisition! Family business owners need to focus on career.
One is $24,000 and one is $75,000
When you combine two of the most established franchise names in the country, and put them in high-traffic mall locations, the odds of success go way up. The owners of this business opportunity have done just that: they combined Mrs. Fields Cookies and TCBY frozen yogurt, and put them in two of the most prestigious malls in Oregon: Bridgeport Village and Washington Square.
However, their job duties are calling for more and more of their time (including international travel.) As a result, they simply are not able to give the stores the time that is needed to realize their full potential.
Their problem is your opportunity. They are motivated to sell.
Now, for less than half the cost of a new franchise, you can step into one or both of these stores and hit the ground running with immediate sales revenue and no start-up headaches. The stores have great brand identity and local name-recognition among shoppers and the employees of other shops in the malls. Mrs. Fields Cookies is a 30-year-old name, one of the most recognizable shops in the country!
The fixtures and equipment are top-notch and like new. Please see the attached photos to see how good the facilities look. Because of the owner's job circumstances, this opportunity is priced to sell quickly.
The traffic flow is tremendous in these two very popular malls. Even on a weekday the parking lots are packed. In addition, there are several business expansion opportunities. The expansion plans include adding some tables at one of the stores, setting up catering contracts, and offering samples to mall employees on a regular basis. In addition, there are local and regional events that love to have this level of branded product available to their attendees.
The ideal owner will have retail experience, ability to qualify with the franchisor, and enough time to do the management activities needed for the stores to reach their potential. If the new owner can bring family members into the operation, then the wage expenses become additional family income. This is the model that the franchisors recommend, and it makes a lot of sense for the right family.
The cash flow for the previous "absentee-owner" business model is not relevant to the preferred "owner-operator" model, so it is not reported here. But the financials will be available to serious prospective buyers under cover of a confidentiality agreement.

Profitable Manufacturing Company with Fortune 100 Customers
(Price is yet to be determined)
When a leading U.S. manufacturer of retail merchandising units (RMUs) comes on the market after more than 30 years of successful national and international operations, acquisition groups take notice. This profitable company counts among its customers the top companies of the world.
How many businesses can say that, year after year, they sell to companies in some 25 countries and territories such as Hong Kong, Japan, and Puerto Rico, as well as to Fortune 100 companies and the largest operator of shopping malls in the U.S.?
The business is managed by a staff of long-time loyal employees, and the owners are not involved in day-to-day management.
The company operates in a beautiful location (people come there for vacations!) The 8-acre industrial property, with over 46,000 square feet of manufacturing, office, and powder-coating buildings is available for purchase, or it may be leased, at the buyer's discretion.
This is not a distress sale. The owners have decided to retire. They spend so little time at the business one might say they are already retired, but they now wish to sever the ties completely and spend time with their grandchildren.
The owners are seeking expressions of interest, and will be pleased to entertain discussions about how the company can provide a competitive advantage to large scale users of RMUs in a vertical play, or a significant cash flow for an investor or investment group.
Real Estate description:
One parcel consists of approximately 3.63 acres of Industrial Improved land. There is a 38,824 square foot manufacturing warehouse building that houses the main facility, along with a 7,616 square foot auxiliary building. There are also some miscellaneous other improvements. The second parcel is an adjacent tax lot of approximately 3.55 acres, zoned Heavy Industrial. There no buildings on it, only a truck dock.

Marion County Automotive Repair Shop
$195,000
(SOLD)
This 16-year old woman-owned business has been remarkably consistent in revenue and profit, due to the very businesslike way the owner has managed it. Interestingly, she is not skilled in mechanical work. She developed the business so it doesn't need a mechanic to run it.
Her passion is accounting, and she is now ready to embark on that work as a new career. Hence, the business is for sale. Because the shop rates are less than those of local automobile dealers, the shop enjoys a brisk business from car owners wishing to save money and still get certified-level repairs.
Three-year weighted average cash flow: $66,763

Portland Area Vocational School
$299,000
(SOLD)
This school appears to be "counter-cyclical", meaning that as the economy worsens it does better. It's secret is that it can, in one month, turn an otherwise unemployed person (male or female) into a certified nursing assistant capable of earning $12 to $15 an hour. Demand is so high that any graduate who wishes to get a job does so as soon as they're finished with the class, sometimes even before.
The owner has only been putting in about 5 to 10 hours a week, but she is unable to do even that now, due to changes in her regular job. She has decided, very reluctantly, to sell the operation, which has a three-year weighted average cash flow of some $90,000.

$550,000
(OWNER HAS TAKEN OFF MARKET AT THIS TIME)
This 33-year old company south of the Portland metro area is poised to dominate its niche in the transportation/heavy equipment industry, due to its consistent high-quality products and performance. The owners are retiring, and are selling the assets that will serve as the foundation for potential major government and industrial contracts.

This set of listings is not necessarily complete
There's a long-standing joke in the business brokerage industry, whereby a business seller wants you to sell his or her business as soon as possible, and for the best price, but you can't tell anyone it's for sale.
This is not far from the truth. If not done properly, listing a business for sale can jeopardize relations with customers, employees, suppliers, and finance sources. Competitors can be quick to make the most of the situation by letting others know that the business is listed for sale and that, therefore, their company is safer to deal with.
We understand this dynamic, and have developed methods to pursue the seller's objectives while maintaining the utmost in confidentiality. Sometimes it involves keeping a listing private while we contact prospective buyers with a so-called "blind profile." In other cases, it's OK to publicize a listing as long as inquirers are required to sign a non-disclosure agreement ("NDA").
If you are looking to buy a business, the listings of any one broker (including us), are only a tiny part of the business listings available for consideration. In addition to looking at our sampling, please consider calling us.
We are happy to answer questions about our business for sale listings, or to discuss how we help buyers acquire the right business at the right price by searching and analyzing the listings of others; please feel free to call us at 800-618-2113.
