Skip the high costs and failure rates of a startup. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully established, boutique candle manufacturing brand with a proven market presence and high-margin product line. While many startups struggle for years to find a "hero product" and a loyal audience, this business has already achieved a robust annual Gross Profit of $124,000, underpinned by proprietary formulations and a turnkey production facility.

The business is currently priced for a quick transition. The recent net financials reflect a deliberate "lifestyle choice" by the founder to prioritize family commitments, resulting in a temporary reduction in operational hours and marketing efforts. This is not a reflection of market demand, but rather a lack of "owner-bandwidth."

For an acquisition entrepreneur or a creative professional, this is the ultimate "fixer-upper" with no actual fixing required—only fuel. The groundwork is laid, the supply chain is optimized, and the brand is respected. A full-time owner-operator can immediately recapture profitability by eliminating outsourced labor and re-engaging the existing customer database.

Key Business Highlights
Strong Asset Floor: The sale includes $55,000 in high-quality equipment and tangible assets, providing the buyer with significant downside protection. You are not just buying a name; you are buying a fully equipped production powerhouse.

High-Margin Product Suite: With a Gross Profit of $124k, the brand enjoys a premium position in the market. Our "Clean-Burn" formulations align perfectly with 2026’s wellness-driven consumer trends.

Proprietary IP: Sale includes all "secret sauce" scent recipes, candle formulations, supplier lists, and digital brand assets.

Scalable Infrastructure: All systems, from pouring to packaging, are refined and documented. The business is ready to be scaled into wholesale, subscription models, or expanded e-commerce.

The 2026 Market Advantage
In today’s economy, consumers are moving away from mass-produced goods in favor of "Functional Fragrance"—candles that offer wellness benefits and aesthetic value. This brand is perfectly positioned at the intersection of luxury and sustainability.

Strategic Growth Paths for the New Owner
Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) Expansion: The current owner has done minimal digital marketing in the last year. Implementing a basic SEO and social media strategy represents immediate "low-hanging fruit."

Wholesale & Corporate Gifting: The brand is "shelf-ready" for high-end boutiques and corporate gift contracts, a sector that remains resilient in the current economy.

Subscription Revenue: Use the existing customer list to launch a "Scent of the Month" club for recurring, predictable cash flow.
