About the Business
Empire Beds is Australia's leading manufacturer of genuine cast beds. We produce a large range of cast beds in classic and vibrant colours meeting a high demand for Australian made products. Approximately 95 % of contact with customers is all via email with sales generated by our website. The business does not have an advertising budget as all current sales are generated by the website, word of mouth and return customers. Sales numbers could obviously be increased dramatically if you chose to actively advertise. It is a very niche business with little to no competition. Empire Beds enjoys a strong reputation as can be seen by our google reviews and is a very highly profitable business that could be operated by one person if desired. For last 3 years the business has ony operated for 9 months of the year so there is further scope to expand the busniess. Empire Beds could be easily relocated to any Australian state but in the past has operated out of both NSW and VIC.
Everything to do with the production of the beds is done in house save for the powder coating process which is now outsourced. All equipment and training would be included in the sale. In it's current model workshop space of approximately 150 to 170 m2 would be sufficient to operate in so the business could also be home based given the right property.
History
Empire Beds has been a sucessful business for well over 20 years. Was previously a wholesale only business but is now solely direct to the public which accounts for a much higher return. It is a No.1 Google ranked business as it offers a very niche product that is of high demand with little to no competition. Producing high quality genuine Australian made products as well as ensuring absolute customer satisfaction is what has lead to this business being so successful.
