Comments:
This line of ladies dresses is well know for over 22 years from New York to Los Angeles. Retail price ranges from $600. to 2000. for a wide selection of day to evening wear. Unfortunately over the past several years the owner has been unable to keep the pace of shows and rep presentations required to maintain and grow the business. The facility and equipment can easily handle $3.0M is sales per year without even sub-contracting. Currently all design, sewing, finishing & shipping operations are handled "in-house". The business has made considerable profit in prior years but currently is operating at little better than break-even. The price is comprised primarily of equipment at used market value and current saleable inventory at cost; yet there is still significant "good-will" value in the accounts, rep organizations and infrastructure of this long standing business.
