Comments:
     We are selling our 10 year old successful business. We have experienced sales increases for the last 5 years. Reason for selling is retirement. What follows is a brief description of the services we offer.

     We print custom heat transfers for other busineses such as sporting goods dealers, flea market operators, gift shops and etc.  These busineses own heat presses for caps, shirts and jackets and either furnish us the artwork or we compose from thousands of art images we have on file, accumulated from our years in the business and purchased commercially.  We then print transfers and ship them to our customer.  A majority of the transfers are screen printed with a small percentage printed digitally.  All our orders are shipped COD and we have no accounts receivable and no bad debts.  A small percentage of our business comes from local businesses requesting corporate logos printed on caps, shirts and jackets, for sporting events, family reunions and uniforms for ball teams.

The price of $65,000 includes a 28 X 70 Peachtree mobile home with improvements on 1 acre of land, a 16 X 16 shop with storage, all equipment required to conduct the business, and a  complete graphics computer system with scanner and printers.  In addition to the land, buildings and equipment the buyer will recieve all necessary training and the current customer base which has been accumulated over a period of 10 years.  Our intent is to build a new home on land we already own adjacent to the business property, so we will be available for consultation.  We are asking $40,000 for the home and land and $25,000 for the business.  The price for the business is less than 1 years gross, therefore we require 50% down.  Balance to be paid at $350 per month at 10% interest for 10 years with a balloon payment at that time.

     We also would sell the business separate from the real estate.  Since almost all of our business comes from outside our area, the business could easily be operated from any location.  If the business were purchased for relocation, terms would be cash.
