Owner-Operated Boutique Home Décor Brand with Retail & Online Upside
Business Description
This confidential offering represents a boutique home décor and lifestyle business built around a curated, design-driven assortment and an intentionally lean, owner-operated model. The business was developed to serve customers seeking distinctive, thoughtfully sourced products rather than mass-market merchandise, positioning it within the premium boutique segment.
The current operation is designed to be efficiently run by a single owner-operator, resulting in low fixed overhead and operational flexibility. The retail footprint is compact and purposefully right-sized, allowing the owner to manage daily operations while maintaining a high-touch customer experience. During peak periods, the model allows for short-term or part-time assistance without requiring permanent staffing.
Financial results reflect a startup and build-out phase. Historical financials include one-time, non-recurring expenses related to store setup, FF&E, and owner-specific legal and immigration costs, all of which have already been fully absorbed. These items will not recur for a new owner, creating a cleaner cost structure moving forward. Inventory has historically been expensed under a cash-based inventory practice and is not reflected as a balance sheet asset; inventory on hand will be valued and transferred separately at closing.
The business benefits from established vendor relationships, completed store build-out, fixtures, displays, POS system, branding assets, and a fully functional e-commerce infrastructure. These assets provide a strong operational foundation without the need for additional upfront investment. The current owner has operated the business conservatively, prioritizing brand development, product curation, and process setup over aggressive expansion.
Significant upside exists for a buyer with experience or motivation in digital marketing, e-commerce optimization, and B2B development. Opportunities include expanding online sales, improving conversion and retention strategies, developing wholesale and trade relationships, and pursuing corporate gifting or hospitality channels. Importantly, many of these growth initiatives can be implemented without immediate increases in fixed costs, making expansion capital-efficient.
This opportunity is not positioned as a passive investment. It is best suited for an owner-operator seeking a hands-on business that combines income potential with personal engagement in a creative, customer-facing environment. With the foundational work complete and major startup costs already incurred, a new owner is well positioned to stabilize operations and pursue scalable growth channels at their own pace.
The seller is committed to a smooth transition and is available to provide part-time training and operational support for 1–2 months following closing. Additional support arrangements can be discussed based on buyer needs.
