This is an excellent opportunity for an existing candy manufacturer, or an entrepreneur in a related business to acquire an established product line with direct sales to highly desirable customers, including COSTCO and QVC. The present family owners have funded the development of this entity from personal resources and believe the company needs stronger financial backing and marketing to reach its potential. The firm manufactures a branded, premium chocolate candy, made with no artificial flavors or preservatives. Initially, the sellers’ developed the product in their kitchen for personal consumption. It was so widely appreciated by family and friends that the owners decided to market the product to commercial accounts. Here again, product sales exceeded their expectations and they were soon not able to keep up with demand. Presently, manufacturing is accomplished off-site by a sub-contractor and the product is shipped to Madison’s for quality packaging and distribution. Ownership believes that their recipe turns sugar, pecans and chocolate into a delicious candy that is just a touch softer, a bit more decadent than any other you have ever sampled. A selection of their finest accounts include: Ritz Carlton (Nationwide), W Hotel Chains, The Ocean Club and the Aruba Resort & Spa.

About the Business
Year Established:2003
Employees:4 full time -
Relocatable:Yes
Market Outlook and Competition:The product is presently marketed solely by the two owners, with sales constantly increasing. Ownership is convinced that sales are only limited by their personal lack of capital and that one of the owners has reached retirement age and is no longer interested in pursuing new sales. With a proper business organization they project that sales of over $4,000,000 are easily attainable. It is anticipated that by folding this company into an existing operation, potential benefits in excess of $1,800,000 are possible, based on a gross profit of 47%. The entity has become too large for ownership to manage and they have engaged us to market the business. One of the existing owners is willing to remain on-staff in a marketing/management position.
