SBA Pre-Qualified Up to $1.96M | Absentee Beauty Supply
SBA Pre-Qualified Beauty Supply Store — Absentee-Owned, Chattanooga, TN
SBA PRE-QUALIFIED: This business has been pre-qualified by an SBA lender for financing of up to approximately $1.17 million for an investor / absentee buyer and up to approximately $1.96 million for a qualified owner-operator buyer who intends to personally assume certain management responsibilities.
Pre-qualification is based on the lender’s review of the business financial information provided and is not a guarantee of financing. Final loan approval, structure, equity injection, collateral requirements, and terms will depend on the individual buyer’s qualifications, creditworthiness, experience, available liquidity, and lender underwriting.
A rare opportunity to acquire a well-established, large-format beauty supply retailer in Hamilton County, Tennessee. The business is fully staffed and currently operates under a completely absentee-ownership model, with experienced management and employees handling the day-to-day operations.
Purchase Price
Business / Goodwill: $1,040,000
Inventory at Cost: Approximately $1,300,000
Total Asking Price Including Inventory: $2,340,000
The asking price includes approximately $1.3 million of inventory at cost, providing the buyer with a substantial inventory base at closing.
Three-Year Financial Highlights | 2023–2025
Current Absentee-Owner Model

Average Annual SDE: $385,075
The current owner does not participate in the daily operation of the business, allowing a buyer to acquire an established retail operation with an existing management and employee structure already in place.
Owner-Operator / Family-Operated Opportunity
For a qualified buyer who intends to personally operate the business and replace certain existing management functions, including approximately $154,900 in general manager compensation and benefits, the business offers the potential for significantly greater owner benefit.
Average Annual Gross Revenue: $3,053,836
Average Adjusted Owner-Operator SDE: Approximately $539,975

About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 6
- Facilities & Assets
- This multi-location beauty supply business has established a strong footprint across two states over the past several years. The Hamilton County, Tennessee location (Chattanooga area) opened in 2020, followed by the Fayette County, Georgia location in 2021. Together, the two stores have grown into well-recognized destinations in their respective markets.
Each location occupies approximately 24,000 square feet and serves as an anchor tenant of its property — a footprint that reflects the scale and selection of a true mega-size beauty supply retailer rather than a small neighborhood shop. The anchor positioning drives consistent foot traffic and reinforces each store's standing as a primary beauty supply destination in its trade area.
Since opening, both locations have been built and stabilized under absentee ownership, with on-site - Market Outlook / Competition
- This business holds a differentiated position in the beauty supply market, driven by scale, location, and operational maturity:
Scale and selection advantage. At approximately 24,000 square feet each, both stores far exceed the footprint of a typical neighborhood beauty supply shop. That scale allows a depth and breadth of inventory — hair, wigs and extensions, cosmetics, accessories, and professional lines — that smaller competitors cannot match, making each store a one-stop destination in its trade area.
Anchor-tenant positioning. As property anchors, both locations benefit from prominent visibility and steady foot traffic that smaller in-line or strip competitors don't command. This location strength is difficult and costly for a new entrant to replicate. - Opportunities for Growth
- Transition to owner-operator. The current absentee model leaves clear upside for a hands-on buyer. An owner working in the business can capture the management salary as additional earnings and tighten operations, margins, and inventory decisions that an absentee structure doesn't optimize.
E-commerce and online sales. Beauty supply is well-suited to online retail. Adding or expanding a webstore, click-and-collect, or delivery through the existing 24,000 sq ft locations turns each store into a fulfillment hub and reaches customers beyond the immediate trade area.
Additional locations / scalable model. With two stores already systematized across two states, the operational blueprint for opening additional units is proven. A new owner can replicate the anchor-tenant model in new markets.
