HOLIDAY - Immersive Holiday Event Experience | Monmouth County, NJ

📍 Location: Monmouth County, NJ
🏷️ Asking Price: Not published, available on request
🆔 Deal Code: HOLIDAY
💰 Cash Flow: $315,388 (SDE, advisor-reported)
📈 Gross Revenue: $553,722 (advisor-reported)
📊 Business Type: Halloween & Christmas Walk-Through Experience With Gift Shop
🏠 Ownership: Absentee, Semi-Absentee or Owner Operated
🔥 57% SDE Margin! | Tickets Paid Upfront! | Seller Financing Available!

✅ Key Highlights:
• $315,388 of SDE on $553,722 of revenue, a 57.0% margin, from a business that operates mainly between Halloween and Christmas.

• About 90% of tickets are bought online, so most of the season's cash arrives before the doors open. The advisor reports that 80% of Halloween guests come back for the Christmas experience.

• A built-in audience: 15,000 followers across Instagram and Facebook and 12,000 local email subscribers, plus partnerships with professional sports teams.

• The advisor says it can run absentee, semi-absentee or owner-operated, with 7 employees, an 80% employee retention rate and rent of about $2,496 a month.

• The honest caveat: the asking price is not published, the listing is flagged as a franchise, and the published numbers come from an early season at this location. Ask for the most recent season and the franchise terms first.

🚀 Growth Opportunities:
• The first year carried about $120,000 of marketing, and the listing projects $60,000 or less for a new owner.

• Sponsorships and private parties, which the advisor puts at another $10,000 or more of revenue.

📌 Summary:
A seasonal, prepaid event business with a 57% reported margin, seller financing and a schedule that fits around a day job. Reply and we will get you the price, the franchise terms and the latest season.

OUTDOORS - Independent Outdoor Sporting Goods Retailer | Sussex County, NJ

📍 Location: Sussex County, NJ
🏷️ Asking Price: $465,000 (includes $250,000 of inventory)
🆔 Deal Code: OUTDOORS
💰 Cash Flow: $101,615 (SDE, advisor-reported)
📈 Gross Revenue: $728,964 (advisor-reported)
📊 Business Type: Firearms, Archery, Outdoor Gear & Apparel Retail
🏠 Ownership: Retirement Sale, Established 2009
🔥 $250K Of Inventory Included! | The Local Go-To Shop! | Retirement Sale!

✅ Key Highlights:
• $465,000 against $101,615 of SDE is about 4.6x on paper, but $250,000 of that price is inventory. Net of inventory you are paying $215,000 for the business, about 2.1x SDE.

• Guns, ammunition, archery, outdoor gear and apparel: categories where product knowledge, licensing and in-person service keep customers local.

• 17 years in business with a loyal following and highly positive Google reviews, run with 2 full-time employees on $2,717 a month in rent. $30,000 of fixtures and equipment is included.

• The honest caveat: a 13.9% margin is thin, so the inventory needs a physical count and an aging check at close. Selling firearms also takes federal and state licensing in the new owner's name, so plan the timeline around it.

🚀 Growth Opportunities:
• The advisor flags limited social media and marketing and the need for a new website. Those are the first levers, and the cheapest.

• Complementary outdoor product lines widen the ticket for customers who already come in.

📌 Summary:
A community outdoor retailer where more than half the price is inventory you can count. Best fit is an owner-operator or a retailer adding a location; reply for the details.

MARKET - Produce & Grocery Market on a Highway Corridor | Morris County, NJ

📍 Location: Morris County, NJ
🏷️ Asking Price: $125,000
🆔 Deal Code: MARKET
💰 Cash Flow: $50,000 (SDE, advisor-reported)
📈 Gross Revenue: $465,000 (advisor-reported, about $9,000 a week)
📊 Business Type: Produce, Grocery & Dairy Market
🏠 Ownership: Owner Managed, Opened 2025
🔥 $125K Entry Price! | Owner Off The Register! | 2.5x SDE!

✅ Key Highlights:
• $125,000 against $50,000 of SDE is 2.5x, on a 10.8% margin, at about $9,000 a week in sales.

• Roughly 60% of sales are produce, with groceries, dairy, meats and packaged goods behind it, on a busy highway corridor with strong reviews. Open 7 days a week.

• The owner does not stock shelves or work the register; the job is purchasing, payroll and oversight, with 1 full-time and 1 part-time employee.

• A POS system tracks sales, so the weekly numbers can be checked line by line in diligence.

• The honest caveat: the business opened in 2025, so the history is short, and rent of $6,500 a month is about 17% of revenue. The seller will stay only 1 to 3 months.

🚀 Growth Opportunities:
• Prepared foods and specialty items carry better margins than produce and suit highway traffic.

• Online ordering and local delivery partners extend the store's reach without more square footage.

📌 Summary:
An owner-light market at a $125,000 entry price. The question is whether a short sales history holds, and the POS data answers it; reply for the details.

SKINCARE - Premium Eye Patch Skincare Brand, Asset Sale | United States

📍 Location: United States (inventory stored in New Jersey)
🏷️ Asking Price: $70,000 all-in ($55,000 brand + $15,000 inventory)
🆔 Deal Code: SKINCARE
💰 Cash Flow: Not applicable (launch stage)
📈 Gross Revenue: Under $10,000 to date (soft launch, advisor-reported)
📊 Business Type: Premium Skincare, Hydrogel Eye Patches (Shopify & Amazon)
🏠 Ownership: Asset Sale, Brand Established 2023
🔥 $70K All-In! | Trademark & Amazon Storefront Included! | Proven Formula!

✅ Key Highlights:
• $70,000 all-in: $55,000 for the brand assets plus $15,000 for 1,120 boxes of inventory (5 pairs each) at wholesale cost, which the buyer is required to purchase.

• Included: the trademark, packaging, website, Amazon storefront, product photography, copy, social accounts and the supplier and fulfillment network.

• The white-label manufacturer makes a nearly identical formula for a leading brand in China that the advisor says has sold more than 100 million pairs.

• The honest caveat: this is a launch-stage brand with under $10,000 of sales to date, so you are buying assets and a supply chain, not cash flow. Price it as a head start, not a multiple. Supplier handoff support runs 30 days.

🚀 Growth Opportunities:
• Amazon advertising and a subscription offer are the obvious first spend for a buyer with ecommerce experience.

• Wholesale into spas, salons and boutique retail.

📌 Summary:
A ready-to-sell skincare brand for $70,000 including inventory. Best fit is an existing beauty or Amazon operator who can put marketing behind it; reply for the details.
