Business Ownership – A Better Investment

Business ownership can provide a better return on investment than investments in property, bank deposits or shares. By owning your own business you are also controlling your own destiny and building your own wealth.

Is it for you? Do you have the right personality? Here are some of the more important characteristics required to own and operate a successful business;

• Independence - you are your own boss

• Health - you are the driver and motivator

• Money Manager - can you run to budget, make a profit?

• Empathy - dealing with customers and staff is essential

• Organised - to get the most out of your resources

• Energy - you are the solution to any problems in the business

• Vision - can you recognise opportunities?

• Planning - you need the discipline to plan and carry out that plan

• Flexibility - You need to adapt and change the game plan if required

If you think you've got what it takes, and would like to know what businesses would suit you best, feel free to contact any one of our brokers for a friendly discussion.

Home Based

Overview

These Expos bring together the latest products and services for a progressive market. It is the only exhibition and lifestyle event tailored specifically to cater for the needs and wants of this niche group.

This year’s Expos, are scheduled for September in Bay of Plenty and October in Auckland.

Opportunities

The potential to exhibit in other regions is enormous and governed only by focus to grow the business.

Financials

Financial statements show a return of over $133,000 to a working owner for Expos in Auckland and the Bay of Plenty.

Hours

The current owners work only as required, and certain times of the year are busier than others, depending on when the Expos are held. November, December and January are quiet months, perfect for summer holidays.

Summary

This great business is in growth phase and a new owner should be able to easily build on the platform that the current owners have developed.

If you are a real ‘people person’ who loves the involvement of putting projects together, it doesn’t get much better than this! This could also be an ideal add on to an existing business in a related field/industry.

Due only to the pressure of other commitments, this business is seriously for sale and the owners will assist in every way to ensure a smooth and fruitful transition.

Asking Price $200,000.00

WHAT IS AN EPP?

Richie Lowe AREINZ

"Employee Protection Provision”, a requirement introduced in the Employment Relations Employment Amendment Act 2004 that aims to provide employment protection for employees in restructuring situations. “Restructuring” in relation to most employees is where their employer sells or transfers the business to another person.

Consequences for not having an EPP could be that your plans to restructure (sell) your business could be put on hold until you comply. In a recent case the Employment Relations Authority found that the parties had to comply with the law and agree on an EPP before the restructuring could take place.

If you are considering selling your business, be wary. If you fail to have a properly drafted EPP, it could mean that the Authority may direct you to negotiate one before you are able to sell.
