Summary
Rare opportunity - polystyrene fabrication business, Gold Coast. Fast-growing, established, plenty of room to scale
Potential
polystyrene fabrication business, Established 3 years ago with fast-growing turnover and repeat clients. CNC milling, hot-wire cutting, and polyurea hard-coating under one roof. Around 80% of work comes from construction, formwork and concrete mould manufacturing, with the balance from event signage, lettering, activations, and product replicas.
There’s a clear, untapped growth path into architectural mouldings — an area the current owner has deliberately chosen not to pursue, but one with strong demand and limited local competition.
Skills
No trade licence or formal qualification is required to operate the business as it currently runs — full training provided. A background in construction, fabrication, or building trades is useful but not essential. A QBCC licence isn’t required but would allow a buyer to expand into on-site installs.

Employees
None. The business is run solo by the current owner. But this busnees would benefit with having a staf member

Business, Equipment, Website & Lease Included
The Opportunity
This is one of Queensland’s only end-to-end polystyrene fabrication workshops — full in-house capability from CNC cutting and hot-wire shaping through to polyurea hard-coating, and finishing
Built from scratch three years ago, the business has grown very fast with room to scale: Repeat customers keep coming back on their own; there’s been no cold calls, no sales push at all.
The bulk of the work — around 80% — comes from construction, formwork/concrete mould manufacturing, a sector with steady, repeat demand. The rest comes from large-scale event lettering (more than the owner can keep up with) , and the occasional product replica for advertising.

• CNC hot-wire cutter 2.4m x 1.3m

• Compressor, air tools, and full hand-tool kit
• All equipment approximately 3 years old, owned outright — no finance owing
• Established, working website

Why It’s a One-Person, Low-Overhead Operation
The business is run solo, by design — no staff, no wages to inherit, no team to manage. It’s been kept deliberately lean, which means a new owner steps into a business with room to scale
The Growth Opportunity
There are two significant revenue streams the current owner has chosen not to pursue: architectural mouldings and movie props fabrication.there is very little competition in Queensland does architectural mouldings full-time — the demand is there, and a QBCC-licensed buyer (not required, but useful for on-site installs) would be well placed to take it on. This isn’t included in current operations simply because the owner didn’t want the added staffing and scale that would come with chasing it — for the right buyer, it represents a clear path to significantly grow the business.
Handover
The current owner is happy to provide hands-on training and will stay on for a genuine handover — No experience is required; the process is straightforward to learn.
Why It’s Selling
The owner is stepping away for a lifestyle change — no dramas with the business, just time for what’s next
