About the business

Phone enquiries - please quote property ID 26572.

Warburton True Value Hardware is an independent hardware store and is part of the major Mitre 10 Group. It offers a complete range of home improvement and hardware products for home or weekend projects. The store has been helping the Warburton community since the early 1900's, with long-term commitment and dedication to its members and customers every day. After years in the business, the owner wishes to sell this successful hardware store which is heavily relied upon by the community.

LOCATION:
The business has huge exposure and is situated in the busiest section of Warburton, next to the IGA and opposite the Shell Petrol Station.

TRADING
The business trades 7 days per week (owner works 5).

STAFFING:
7 employees including the owner

PREMISES
The premises are leased with secure leases in place. There are 3 leases. The main hardware, plus a small area of land next door along with a section of land at the rear of the building. Total lease expenses are approximately $65k per annum. There is plenty of parking around the business.

RESIDENCE:
Included in the lease is a fully renovated 4 bedroom residence above the hardware building. This is ideal for those who want to be close to their work/business.


TOP BRANDS
Include Makita, Weber, Yates, Rockwell, and Dulux, to name a few.

MAIN CUSTOMERS
Include DIY, Home Renovators, home garden, builders, and Handyman. Although sales are relatively consistent throughout the year, the peak time is between October and January.


MARKETING:
4 catalogs per year (True Value catalogs) plus local sporting club sponsorships.

SKILLS
Experience in retail or customer service would be advantageous to successfully take over this local gem. A general understanding of home maintenance and repairs would also be desirable but not essential.


GROWTH POTENTIAL
Warburton has been discovered, houses are selling fast and renovations began because of the world-class mountain bike trail project. It is expected to cost $4.2m with an estimated economic benefit of $23.5m. Warburton was a very low-income area but with the new homeowners coming in that is changing and is expected to continue.

There is also an opportunity to create a website and online store to service more customers.


INCLUSIONS:
All fixtures, fittings, and equipment are included in the sale. Stock will be sold at valuation and estimated at around $300,000

NOTE: Freehold of the property could be negotiated.

Your expression of interest is welcome. The price is negotiable but only serious offers will be considered. All enquirers will receive an NDA prior to receiving an Information Memorandum.

Thinking of buying this business?

Buying a business is a big deal! It can open up a new chapter in your life, expand your growing business base or fulfill that dream you’ve always had. So before you make that offer, there’s a few things you should consider to determine whether or not this business is right for you. In a nutshell these include:

  • Ensure the seller is 100% verified by us
  • Can you afford it? Do you need financing to assist with the purchase?
  • Have you done enough research - industry analysis, competitors, revenue and so on
  • Ask the seller some questions - reasons behind the sale, will they be providing customer/supplier databases, what assets other than the physical business will be including (marketing materials etc), are their tax records and financial statements up to date and verified etc
  • Make sure it’s the right business for you!

In a nutshell, a business owner will ask you to sign an NDA before a deal can commence. This allows the business owner to keep certain information confidential, including client lists, employee information, intellectual property, trade secrets, pricing structures and so on, in case a deal cannot be met. Typically, NDAs are often mutual - meaning, just as you're agreeing to keeping the seller's business information confidential, the seller must also offer that same level of confidentiality to keep your information private.

Another thing to look out for is non-solicit provisions. If a seller has this clause in their NDA, you are prohibited from soliciting any of their clients or employees for yourself or your company for around 1-2 years.

Once you have submitted an enquiry to the seller, the seller can invite you to view confidential information about the listing after signing an NDA in order to conduct your due diligence. Once satisfied, you can make an offer directly to the seller in the Deal Room where a transaction can be done. Here you can also invite any advisors, brokers or lawyers you may have to help make the deal happen. You can even enlist Eden’s personal network of buying professionals to assist you with the entire buying process.

From start to finish, the entire business transaction can be done through the Eden Exchange platform.
