This online boutique offers children’s products made by manufacturers committed to earth-friendly practices. Clothing made from organic materials, skincare that is chemical and preservative free, toys made from natural, sustainable sources, bottles and dishware that do not contain hormone-disrupting toxins such as BPA.

Not only is the focus on the products sold, but also the stories behind them. Special care is taken to source items from inspiring makers in Australia and abroad who are designing, innovating and creating fabulous green products, all while adhering to fair trade principles and using sustainable packaging options.

For those making an effort to live a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle, the blog is a valuable resource. It provides news on interesting new products and the latest information on green issues from trusted sources around the world. The newsletter also shares eco-fabulous finds for kids as well as exclusive sales news and giveaways.

The owner has always tried to live a healthy lifestyle and be a conscious consumer. Then when becoming a parent, more attention was paid to the choices made about everything, including eating organic foods, trying to eliminate exposure to toxins and also cut back on the contribution to the local landfill, from food to toys, clothing and bath products. Every decision was given greater consideration, hence the product range for this particular offering in the marketplace.

Terrarium Business for Sale

The business has been running successfully for 4 years via an online store and through stockists in and around Melbourne. It has also sold via pop-up shops/markets, ran workshops, exhibitions and leased products out for events/open houses, etc. 

The business has a good following on social media and has gotten good press over the years and has been featured in The Age, SMH, Shop Till You Drop, House and Garden, Green Magazine and Hooray (previously Hitched) Magazine. 

The owners are selling because work circumstances have changed and the business isn’t getting the attention it deserves. Given previous interest, the owners believe the business has a lot of potential, as time is dedicated to it again. 

It would be a most credible bolt-on to an existing business in floristry or as a hobby/2nd income for the gardening enthusiast. 

Interested? Email dhall@businessbrokers.com.au to start the process by receiving a Confidentiality Agreement to sign and return.

WANTED: BUSINESSES TO SELL!

Why, because we have buyers!


Yesterday I attended a funeral of a mother of a dear friend of mine.
Always of time of sadness and reflection…

Given the amount of grief experienced again today, I can’t help thinking about the poor families of business owners who have not done anything about their business affairs before they fall off the mortal coil, leaving it to their family to clean up. “Take me out in a box”, they say.

SO NOT SMART OR FAIR.

With the family grieving, the last thing they want to have to deal with is a business they most probably have no interest in. Lets face it, if they were going to be interested, they would have done so well before the fateful day.  And the longer the business is left without being tended will mean the value drops away at a fairly rapid rate. Not good for selling purposes, at all.

Seriously, do something about the business before the owners are gone.
If you cannot, then call a broker just as soon as you can and have them get it sorted for you as soon as possible.
As the business probably forms part of the estate, the sooner it is sold the better the outcome will be for all, financially at least.

WANTED: BUSINESSES TO SELL!

Why, because we have buyers!


This week, Hurst Partners – Business Brokers ran another of our “How to Successfully Buy a Business” roundtable workshops (as discussed here). What a pleasure it was to co-facilitate to!

The points covered:

  • is Business Ownership for you?
  • how do you know?
  • what type of business?
  • starting vs buying
  • overview of the Business Transaction process
  • price vs valuation
  • using professional advisors

What became clear to me was how much we, at Hurst, know and how much of that information we don’t get credit for.

We’ll have to do something about that now won’t we!

WANTED: BUSINESSES TO SELL!

Why, because we have buyers!

Next week, we’re running a workshop “How to Successfully Buy a Business” for first time business buyers. Ideally it will be fabulous to practice of live stock, but case studies might just have to do… for now!

Had a great lunch today, with 39 fellow service providers to the SME market. The beauty was that I was the only Broker (along with one other Valuer)  as there are not too many of us that actually have experience in selling. I have already set up a number of business discussions for next week. Excellent.

Only this week the AIBB Small Business Sales Index for June 2014 indicated it’s a Buyers market. However, I’m not sure how that’s going to play out if there’s no stock to offer them to buy.

Interesting times…

3rd Meeting with Board members happened. Decision made. Now determining how to make it happen financially. Now, a couple of private buyers are surfacing also. Who will win? who knows.

Training provider
4 interested parties. Decisions to be made. One offer received and rejected. Another appears be swooping in last minute but keeps phaffing about. The wanted one has been contacted again to see if a structured deal can be created. Decision will be made by end of week though.

3 meetings/phone calls next week:

  • spa therapies
  • software provider
