Great opportunity to purchase a unique and thriving business that combines a balloon decoration company and a retail/wholesale balloon store with distributorship contracts for leading balloon brands.
The balloon decoration company has an impressive annual revenue exceeding $419k with
negligible expenses, making it a highly profitable venture. As a distributor, the business benefits
from competitive material prices, with each decoration costing us only 7-10% of the price with
the average check of $500 and 3-hours labor.

This business has established a dominant market presence, with plenty of room for continued growth.

Net income for 2023 was $199,900!

and flexible website, effective preset advertisement, and a popular Instagram account with
12,000 San Diego genuine followers that ranks top in search results. The warehouse/storefront is
centrally located, with a low monthly payment, providing convenience and accessibility to
customers.

This is an ideal opportunity for a new owner to take over a profitable and well-established
venture with a loyal customer base of 1,500 lines (both private and corporate), significant cash
flow, and plenty of room for growth as well as the possibility to expand via franchising.

Expansion Potential:

The expansion potential for this business is significant, particularly given the growth of the
retail/wholesale part of the business. With the best Cost of good manufacturer prices, promoting sales
online to other cities and states could significantly increase the customer base and revenue.

The business can also leverage the popularity of the "Party City" style shops by offering
grab-and-go balloon products that cater to customers who prefer convenience and simplicity.
With the recent news of Party City filing for bankruptcy, the business has a unique advantage to
capture customers who are looking for affordable balloons as well as extend the inventory with
other party-related products. With the right hire and training, the business can maintain its
exceptional customer service and develop further as a leading provider of balloons and
decorations in the region.

For even more expansion potential, there is the equipment rental business.

They have a large amount of decoration equipment, so it became an easy way for them to generate additional income with next to no effort.

One of other ideas for expansion is to grow the business into a franchise or sell business courses.
The website is designed to facilitate this type of growth, allowing for easy connection between
different cities in the chain. As a result, the business can leverage its existing infrastructure and
knowledge to create a turnkey solution for aspiring entrepreneurs who are interested in entering
the balloon decoration industry.

In addition to its existing offerings, the business has an exciting opportunity to host classes for
balloon artists. This is a highly profitable and in-demand service that has the potential to
significantly increase revenue and establish the business as a leading provider of balloon art
education. With the rise of social media and the popularity of balloon art, more and more people
are looking to learn the craft and turn it into a hobby or even career. With a large and growing
customer base and famous balloon brands it carries, the business is well-positioned to take
advantage of this opportunity and become a leading provider of balloon art education in San
Diego County and online. Again, the
