Print management firm for partial sale - Melbourne

Unique opportunity to acquire well-established businss with client list, IP, systems and existing sales personnel.

Our vendor is a well respected, long standing, print management firm. The proprietor wishes to downsize his business operation.

He wishes to sell the majority of his client base and transfer sales representative (presently three, but could easily be only two). This client list currently provides $2.5 million of high quality print sales, many of whom are contracted. The sales people also have very good prospects to obtain more quality clients and grow this turnover substantially.

The client list is sold with all the intellectual property and systems including purpose built print management software, on line ordering system, database, supplier contacts, etc.

The business presently operates from high quality inner city premises, ideal for the purchaser to relocate a staff member and share outgoings / support staff. The proprietor intends to stay on, servicing his existing clients. He is happy to oversee the new operation for a two year period.

This is an ideal opportunity for a commercial / trade printer to increase their own sales / take out their production humps / troughs, and perhaps grow / help retain their existing sales by offering a complete print management solution. Other opportunities obviously exist for interstate purchasers, existing print brokers and print management firms.

Very realistically priced at $500,000 plus GST upon transaction OR $300,000 plus GST on transaction plus 5% plus GST on client retention / sales performance for a period of 2 years.
