SUMMARY FOR EQUESTRIAN BUSINESS
BUSINESS IS RELOCATABLE
Founded in 2006, the Business is a distributer of equestrian products. The founder started the Business with a desire to eliminate some of the problems found with various equestrian products. Out of this quest for high performance products with a classic design came several fabrics that are the basis of Business’ success. In addition, the Business has patented product design for their horse boots. The natural transition for the Business to move into apparel for all, including your dog, was in part due to the characteristics of the fabric used in the equine products. The Business has product that is shipped daily from its onsite warehouse.
The Business has an advanced website that accepts orders from consumers as well as wholesalers. The Business’s website is tied-in with Google’s site analytics and also with UPS tracking software. In addition to its website, the Business has a presence on the internet through You Tube videos of some of its products, Facebook page, Twitter, Barnmice.com, and Flickr.com. The Business is mostly “virtual”, and website hosting for this business is provided by an outside party. Under a new owner the existing hosting arrangement can be left intact or the hosting could be relocated to the acquirer's web-hosting facilities if appropriate. In addition to selling product online, the Business has a presence in many tack shops. The Business also has representatives that market the product to various equestrian groups and barns.
The owners of the Business have marketed their products very well having a major presence as most all of the more well know equestrian events. The Business has licenses with Churchill Downs, Kentucky Derby, Kentucky Oaks, Breeders Cup, United States Equestrian Federation (USEF), Horses and Hope, and Women and Horses; and formerly with the National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA). In addition to these venues, the Business has several sponsors across different disciplines.
This business is still in a start-up stage. The owners are looking for a return on their initial investments that total approximately $690,000. This business has been set up very well with everything in place for a new buyer to come in and start working the business. (vendors, patents, patterns, website, etc. ) Because of the owner’s health issues, the business has not been marketed as it should be to increase sales and has just been maintaining current sales.
Sales YTD December 2010 $143,000 (Sales in 2008 $325,000 prior to health issues) The owner is currently gathering year to date information.
