The venue type that this special event company flourishes in are at large banquet halls or convention centers, trade shows, Gala’s and pageant stages. The purchase comes with 2 box trucks and a trailer used to haul all of the rental pieces, an abundant amount of inventory such as drapery, linens and table decor and there is almost $60K in customer deposits that will transfer over for upcoming events. There is a core team of 6 that are well tenured, plus they have a pool of vetted, repeat contractors that they work with on a regular basis. The owner is selling as she is in her 60s and entering retirement, she is happy to stay on train and transition for one year. Additionally, she is willing to finance 10% to show her vested interest in the success of the business moving forward. The overhead is very low as there are only 4 storage units which is $450/ month.
