Profitable Retail Shipping Center for Sale: Your Success Awaits!
Business Description
Seize this rare opportunity to own a dominant, recession-resistant business services center established in 2007. This is a turnkey operation generating immediate cash flow with an 18-year proven track record in the Tewksbury/Metro Lowell area.
Unlike a franchise, you keep 100% of the profits while leveraging a massive digital footprint that drives customers to your door. Best of all, the sale includes the 1,500+ sq ft commercial condo—you become your own landlord on Day One, eliminating rent risk forever.
The "Anti-Franchise" Advantage: Stop paying royalties. This independent model beats comparable UPS Store listings (often trading over $575K without real estate). You get the brand authority of an 18-year player without corporate handcuffs or monthly franchise fees, resulting in superior margins.
- Investment Highlights & Financial Snapshot: This deal is structured for an effortless transition and is pre-qualified for SBA lending.
- Asking Price: $495,000 (Includes Business Operations & $125K Real Estate Condo).
- Financing: SBA Pre-Qualified. Furthermore, 10% Seller Financing is available for qualified buyers to ease entry.
Turnkey Assets Included in Sale: Walk in and start earning immediately. The price includes:
1. Real Estate: $125,000-owned commercial condo with professional buildout and a secure shredding room.
2. Tech & Ops: Three modern POS stations (approx. $5K value), full CCTV security, and server.
3. FF&E/Signage: over $50,000 invested in furniture, fixtures, and professional branding.
4. Vehicle: Sprinter Company Van (used 100% for business).
5. Inventory: $6,000 in supplies included.
Operational Overview & Market Dominance: Serving a metro population of 121K, this business is the area's dominant player. It holds a unique niche with virtually no local competitors offering its specific combination of HIPAA-compliant industrial shredding and state-certified apostille processing.
- Diverse Revenue Streams: Stability through diversity.
- Shipping (40%): Authorized vendor for FedEx, UPS, and Post Office services across 3 stations.
- Notary (25%): High-margin, state-certified processing.
- HIPAA Shredding (20%): Industrial, compliance-certified services.
- Mailbox Rentals (15%): 75 USPS-approved boxes providing steady recurring revenue.
Digital Powerhouse: The business owns a massive digital moat. The website is SEO-ranked #1 locally and attracts over 5,000 unique visitors weekly, driving organic, high-margin foot traffic without expensive ad spending.
Growth Potential ($550K+ Target): The foundation is laid for significant expansion. The new owner can immediately leverage established traffic to push revenue past $750K by:
1. Adding Verizon/AT&T Wireless commissions (est. 15-20% boost).
2. Implementing local Amazon FBA fulfillment services.
3. Cross-selling tax preparation services to the existing client base.
4. Leveraging the condo equity to fund a second location.
NDA Required: Due to the sensitive nature of competitive advantages and financials, an NDA is required to release the exact location, full 2024 financials, and the Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM).
