Location Details
Greater Sydney- Potential to service Central Coast
The business can be located anywhere in the Greater Sydney area. Requires approx 20 sqm of storage and a delivery vehicle (which can be included in sale). Admin duties can be managed
from anywhere, as the operative system is cloud based.
Potential
The Baby and Maternity industry has continuously grown in Australia and this niche business offers incredible growth potential in addition to great work/life balance, flexibility and an easy-to-run operation.
The business has recently been rebranded, with both the website and social media platforms receiving major upgrades at significant cost, so this area still has massive potential and will definitely bring the brand to a new level.
Skills
Business is very easy to run. No technical background or experience required. Daily activities include customer service and admin duties (receiving calls and emails that are then converted into sales), planning and executing delivery runs, equipment cleaning, stock management (which might require placing orders for materials and spare parts with suppliers) and social media management.
Hours
Average of 20 to 25-hour a week job, as many processes can be automated. Best of all is being able to work remotely.
Lease
Storage lease is not required if the new owner has enough storage space available (approx 20sqm).
Employees
Business only requires a single employee who operates the daily activities; however, the current owner has hired drivers in the past when required, but this is completely optional and depends on the owner's time availability.
Reason for Sale
The currrent owner took on the business when her children were babies, as she was after flexibility and more time to dedicate herself to raising her family. Being her own boss, working remotely and having a simple and easy-to-run business that allowed her to be a full-time mum were her needs at that time. Now that her children are older and she has more time for herself, it is time to move on to new challenges.
About the Business
Sydney-based business that hires hospital bassinets for newborn babies to hospitals and parents who want to have the convenience and safety of a hospital bassinet at home for their newborn’s arrival and first few months.
It is well-established and highly appreciated by customers (with over 100 - 5-star Google reviews, repeat customers and the constant referrals to others). In addition, it consistently services hospitals during busy periods throughout the year.
The business can be located anywhere in the Greater Sydney area and its core duties are customer service and easy logistics planning (delivery runs).
This industry has been consistently growing in Australia, so the potential to take this niche business to a new level is real! After a rebrand with both the website and social media platforms receiving major upgrades at significant cost, the business is ready to capitalise on these efforts and keep growing.
This business is tailored for someone that wants great work/life balance and flexibility.
It might be a mother of small children that would like to have a business that is easy to run, very flexible in terms of hours and workload distribution throughout the week and can work remotely at a given time. It might be someone who already has a logistics business and wants to incorporate a new product line into the mix. It might be a midwife or someone in the Maternity industry who wants to expand their services. Or even someone that already has an existing job, but wants to make some extra money through a hire service.
The business has on-going new customers, a loyal repeat customer base and consistent hire relations with 6 major hospitals in Sydney, so the new owner will be receiving income from Day 1!
The turnover capacity of the business is up to $2,700+ per week.
History
The business was founded in 2009. The current owner purchased it as a going concern in 2016 and since then the business has grown and further established itself as a preferred supplier by many. Hence, its service is highly appreciated by new and loyal repeat customers. In addition, it services 6 hospitals in Sydney throughout the year. Its success has been a consequence of optimal customer service and good logistics.
