Location Details
15 Emplacement Crescent
Currently located in a commercial rented store with an open lease but can be moved to another location or home.
Potential
This business has only been run part time, but can be run full time or to suit the hours of the buyer. It is an ever growing industry as buying ball dresses out right can be an expensive exercise and now it is easier for the clients to hire their dresses for the balls or functions they attend. The business can be moved to a new location to suit the buyer or the stock can be absorbed into an already existing business. With such a large range of dresses, some old stock could be sold to cover the costs for new dresses.
Skills
Not many skills needed to run this business, but a person who can work with the public and can handle multiple tasks at a time would be successful with this business. Social media plays a huge part in your advertising so knowledge of all platforms would be beneficial. Some basic sewing skills and fabric care would be good to have but not essential as you can align yourself with a good seamstress and dry cleaner.
Hours
Hours are flexible for this business.
Lease
Business currently in retail space owned by family but lease can be organised at an agreed cost and length of time.
Employees
No Employees but universtity students have worked in the past.
Reason for Sale
Business was created for a Mother and Daughter to run together whilst daughter was high school and universtity. Due to current workloads for both it is not suitable for us to run anymore.
About the Business
The business is a ball dress hire business. Majority of the dresses are suitable for balls but we also have some dresses that people would hire for functions or special birthdays.
The business mainly caters for high school students, but we also have clients who have hired for university balls, charity balls and who are peforming at events.
The business can be molded to suit the owners and can be as unique as you make it. There are not many dress hire businesses south of the river and we have clients from further south who have come to us to hire.
History
The business started in 2019 when we began looking for ball dresses for my daughter. We started small buying few dresses and run it out of the office room of our business. No we have between 600-700 dresses and have moved into a retail space. Unfortunately during our early years we suffered from the closures of COVID and over the last two years we have not had the time to run the business to it's full potential. At this stage we have shut to doors but it wouldn't take much to get the business back up and running.
