Patent-Pending Indoor Tanning Product with No Direct Competition
Business Description
Tanshon (a name combining “tan” and “cushion”) offers a turnkey opportunity centered around a novel, first-to-market indoor tanning bed cushion. The product addresses a long-ignored gap in tanning bed foot and heel support and is positioned to become a natural next-step amenity for both tanning salons and individual users.
The home-based business began as a passion-driven product development initiative by the owner, a long-time tanning bed user who identified a consistent comfort issue not solved by existing accessories. Over a two-year period, the concept was fully developed into a patent-pending product with branded packaging, trademark protection, outsourced manufacturing relationships, and a fully built e-commerce infrastructure.
As a result, Tanshon presents a rare opportunity: a fully developed brand and product with zero direct competition, strong unit economics, and significant upside for a new owner ready to actively pursue growth. The sale allows an entrepreneur or investor to step into a complete operating foundation and immediately focus on expansion rather than product creation.
The business includes finished inventory, intellectual property, a fully functional Shopify website, branded retail packaging, and an extensive indoor tanning industry sales lead list. Growth paths include distributor partnerships, commission-based sales representatives, e-commerce expansion, and international markets.
With minimal operational complexity and high-margin potential, Tanshon is well-suited for an owner-operator or strategic buyer seeking a scalable niche product in a well-established industry.
A full Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM) is available for qualified buyers.

- Market Outlook / Competition
- Tanshon is a novel, first-of-its-kind product with no direct competition, designed to address a long-ignored gap in tanning bed comfort: foot and heel support. The indoor tanning market represents a large, underserved audience, with approximately 27,300 salons in the U.S. (averaging 10 beds per location) and an estimated 7.8 million U.S. adults using tanning beds annually. Much like headrests became a standard solution for upper-body comfort, the Tanshon serves as a natural next-step amenity for foot support and a desirable comfort upgrade for users.
- Opportunities for Growth
- With branding, manufacturing, and e-commerce infrastructure already in place, Tanshon is positioned for rapid scale through multiple channels. Growth opportunities include the addition of commission-based sales reps, distributor partnerships, marketplace expansion (e.g., Amazon), and international expansion into Europe. An established Salon Starter Pack program enables pre-sale product sampling by salons, and influencer partnerships and trade exposure can further accelerate brand awareness.
