About the Business
Established in 2019, The Sip Studio is a well-known creative studio located in Fairy Meadow, Wollongong. Over the past six years the business has built a strong reputation within the local community, providing children's art classes, private parties, corporate workshops, fundraising events and mobile pop-up art experiences throughout the Illawarra.
The business operates from a fully fitted creative studio and benefits from multiple revenue streams. A successful children's art program currently attracts approximately 30-40 returning students attending weekly classes each term, providing recurring revenue and a loyal customer base. Additional income is generated through private functions, corporate team-building events, school holiday workshops, fundraising activities and community events.
The Sip Studio has developed strong relationships with local councils, schools, clubs, libraries, community organisations and businesses, creating ongoing opportunities for workshops, events and partnerships. The business has proudly supported a range of community initiatives and fundraising events throughout its operation.
Included in the sale is a substantial library of artwork designs, lesson plans and teaching resources developed over six years of operation. This allows a new owner to step into the business with established systems and proven class content already in place. No formal art qualifications are required, making the business suitable for an educator, creative entrepreneur, event operator or owner-operator seeking a rewarding lifestyle business.
The sale includes the established brand, website, online booking system, customer database, social media accounts, artwork library, teaching resources, future bookings, studio fit-out, furniture, equipment and trading stock. Flexible purchase options will be considered, including a full business sale, asset sale or lease takeover with selected assets.
The business has primarily relied on repeat customers, referrals and word-of-mouth marketing, with minimal paid advertising undertaken. This presents a significant opportunity for a new owner to further grow the business through digital marketing, expanded class offerings, school holiday programs, NDIS activities, corporate events and additional mobile workshops.
The current owner is pursuing other business interests and is committed to ensuring a smooth transition for the successful purchaser. Full training and handover support can be provided.
