About the Opportunity
After more than 25 years with the Cartridge World network and 16 successful years of ownership, the current owners have relocated and made the difficult decision to offer this exceptional business to the market. The sale is driven solely by family circumstances, presenting a rare opportunity to acquire a highly respected, long-established business with a proven track record of success.
Established in 2002, Cartridge World Mount Barker has built its reputation on exceptional customer service, operational excellence and long-term customer relationships. Consistently ranked among the Top 5 Cartridge World stores in Australia and recognised as the Number 1 performing store in South Australia, the business has become a trusted provider of printing, office and technology solutions throughout the Adelaide Hills.
Long-standing relationships with local businesses, combined with a loyal retail customer base, provide reliable recurring revenue and immediate cash flow. The sale also includes exclusive franchise rights to the Fleurieu Peninsula, offering significant potential to expand into a large, currently untapped market.
The business offers a comprehensive range of genuine and compatible ink and toner cartridges, printers, office supplies, in-store printing, laminating services and 3D printing solutions. Through the Independent Business Group (IBG), the new owner will also have access to leading technology brands including Starlink, Bambu Lab, Reolink, Acer, Cygnett and Jaycar Express, creating further opportunities to diversify the product range and grow revenue.
Operating from a recently refurbished showroom with excellent street exposure, convenient customer parking and dedicated office and storage facilities, the business is simple to operate and supported by proven systems and an established customer base. This is an outstanding opportunity for an owner-operator, husband-and-wife team or existing business owner looking to acquire a profitable, well-established business with genuine long-term growth potential.
