Soil Biology Product Manufacturer For Sale – Palm Springs,

California

Asking 320k Revenue 100k

This is truly a unique soil-additive business with proven products and a well-established customer base in several different growth-markets. The current owner is ready to retire.
Developed by the ex-CEO of a major marketing research and product testing company, this business now has a 15-year track record of outstanding profit margins and blue-chip customers. The brand name has a nationally-recognized reputation for quality.

Currently managed as minimal-effort one-man business, there is a very obvious potential for dramatic growth. Sales are immediately responsive to targeted advertising. The current owner makes no personal promotional efforts whatsoever.

Most orders originate from a very profesional internet website which accepts credit cards and requires no direct involvement with customers, but over the years the company has also formed solid ongoing relationships with dealerships that regularly pruchase larger quantities of jars for resale.

Several different packaged products, including some officially certified for organic crop production, have been formulated specifically for farmers, wine vineyards, orchards, plant nurseries, commercial landscapers, and home gardeners. There are customers nationwide within all of these categories.

No special scientific knowledge is required, but experience with growing plants and organic methods would be helpful. The business has minimal space or personnel requirements and could be re-located without disrupting the flow of orders.

This would be ideal for a new owner wanting a very good return on investment and could be either an easily-managed small operation or taken on a fast-growth path. The more that one understands about this company and its potential, the more attractive it is.
