Profitable Window Blinds & Coverings Sales and Install Business–40+yrs
Business Description
This is a home-based company, the phone just rings!
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a highly respected shop-to-home window coverings sales and installation business that has successfully served the Chicagoland market for more than 40 years.
Built on exceptional customer service, quality products, fair pricing, and a strong reputation, the business generates the majority of its revenue from repeat customers and referrals. Little to no advertising is required, as decades of satisfied clients continue to provide a steady stream of business. Operating under a convenient shop-to-home service model, customers receive personalized consultations in the comfort of their homes or businesses, eliminating the expense and overhead associated with a traditional retail showroom.
The company specializes in the consultation, measurement, sale, and installation of custom blinds, shades, shutters, and other window treatments for residential and commercial customers. More than 90% of revenue is generated from custom blinds and shades, with additional revenue coming from specialty window treatments.
This home-based operation offers tremendous flexibility and very low overhead. The business does not require a storefront, warehouse, or significant inventory investment. Product samples are provided by established suppliers and presented directly to customers during consultations, allowing buyers to see and select products within their own space before ordering. Products are then ordered directly from suppliers after measurements and selections are completed.
The current owner performs many installations but also utilizes experienced contract installers when needed, providing flexibility and scalability for the next owner. The seller is willing to provide training and transition assistance to ensure a smooth transfer of customer relationships, supplier relationships, measurement techniques, ordering procedures, and installation processes.
This opportunity is ideal for:
• A handyman or contractor seeking business ownership
• A flooring, remodeling, or home improvement company looking to expand services
• An entrepreneur seeking a proven owner-operator business
• A husband-and-wife team looking for a flexible lifestyle business
• An individual seeking to leave the corporate world and own an established service business
The business has demonstrated consistent revenue and profitability over many years and is well-positioned for continued success under new ownership.
