EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A qualified buyer can purchase this business with a cash downpayment of less than $40,000 (plus other closing costs).
The Company provides luxury decor rentals, creating beautiful and elegant weddings and other event settings on one of Hawaii’s tropical paradise islands. The rentals include a wide assortment of table linens, chairs, chair covers, draping, lighting, and other related accessories. The rentals offered are for customers desiring a refined and elevated feel for their weddings or other events. Weddings are over 90% of their event sales and about 60% of their wedding clients are visitors to Hawaii. Hawaii is one of America’s top destination wedding locations. The Company is long tenured and well established in the lucrative wedding market on the island, and they are known for providing excellent customer service, quality products, reliability, and timely execution on the day of the event. The Business is on the preferred vendors list for all of the island’s major hotels, which are major wedding venues in Hawaii.
They have a large investment of rental and décor items (items like specialty linens, chairs, chair covers, etc.), plus all of the other tangible assets (furniture, vehicles, etc.) and intangible assets (trade name, website, customer contracts, etc.) which are included in the transaction.
Their sales have grown over 66% from $488,000 in 2016 to $812,000 in 2023. In 2023, these sales generated $239,580 of owner’s profits (“SDE”). They survived Covid and are now stronger than before.
They receive a 50% non-refundable customer deposit for all events and the 50% balance due is paid two weeks before the event date. This results in them having a large negative working capital balance (e.g., a negative $166,488 working capital balance as of 12/31/2023).
Their sales process is very effective with a “success hit rate” on quotes of over 82% over the last 3 years.
They book events up to one to two years in advance. They maintain a strong backlog of contracted events. For example, as of 4/30/24 they had a contracted future event backlog, with 50% non-refundable deposits, of $425,422 for 193 events booked out to July 2025. As of 4/30/24 bookings are 18% ahead of last year.
Pre-qualified for a ten-year SBA 7(a) loan.
