La Dulce Chocolate – Growing Bloomington, Indiana Dessert & Café Business

Established • Revenue-Producing • Newly Expanded Menu • Significant Growth Potential

La Dulce Chocolate is an established Bloomington, Indiana dessert and chocolate business with a loyal customer base, proven sales history, and an exciting new growth phase already underway.

The business has generated approximately $220,000 in gross revenue over the past 12 months, averaging approximately $20,000–$25,000 per month under its previous menu and operating model. In August 2026, the business expanded its menu to include coffee, breakfast sandwiches, and additional savory sandwich offerings, creating new dayparts, increasing average customer spend, and expanding the customer base.

With these additions now in place, the business is targeting projected average monthly revenue of approximately $30,000–$40,000, with projected annual revenue of approximately $350,000 based on the current growth trajectory and expanded offerings.

This is an opportunity to acquire a business that is not simply maintaining existing sales, but has recently implemented additional revenue streams with the potential to materially increase sales going forward.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Established Bloomington business with an existing customer base
• Approximately $220K in gross sales over the past 12 months
• Historical monthly revenue of approximately $20K–$25K
• Newly added coffee, breakfast sandwiches and sandwich offerings beginning August 2026
• Projected $30K–$40K average monthly revenue under the expanded concept
• Projected approximately $350K in annual revenue
• Additional upside through catering, private events, delivery, extended hours, marketing and menu development
• Opportunity for an owner-operator to further improve margins and profitability
• Multiple acquisition and financing structures available

Potentially Attractive Financing Opportunity

A particularly interesting aspect of this acquisition is the potential for a qualified buyer to leverage the business's existing financial performance when pursuing acquisition financing.

Depending on the buyer's credit profile, financial qualifications, lender requirements, and final purchase structure, SBA 7(a) financing may provide the ability to finance a significant portion of the acquisition over an extended repayment period. In certain appropriately structured transactions, financing proceeds can potentially exceed the amount required to fund the purchase and eligible transaction costs, reducing the buyer's initial out-of-pocket capital requirement and potentially providing additional working capital at closing.

Financing is subject to lender approval, SBA requirements, buyer qualifications, business valuation, and final loan structure; no financing outcome is guaranteed.

The owner is willing to work with qualified buyers and lenders to provide appropriate financial documentation needed to evaluate the opportunity.

Flexible Deal Structures

The owner is open to discussing:

• Traditional outright purchase
• SBA 7(a) acquisition financing
• Owner/seller financing, depending on terms and buyer qualifications
• Combination SBA and seller financing
• Partnership or operating arrangement
• Majority buyout or partial acquisition
• Management/operator buy-in
• Potential licensing or franchising discussions

This opportunity could be particularly attractive to an owner-operator, entrepreneur, investor, experienced restaurant or café professional, dessert/chocolate operator, or buyer seeking an established business with a proven revenue base and newly created growth opportunities.

La Dulce Chocolate offers the opportunity to step into an operating business today while positioning it for a substantially larger revenue level tomorrow. With the recent expansion into coffee, breakfast and savory menu items, the next phase of growth is already underway.
