Established Specialist Lighting Retailer on the NSW North Coast – Run Fully Under Management

This specialist lighting retailer has traded successfully for 12 years and is run entirely under management, giving a new owner the freedom to work on the business rather than in it from day one. The showroom carries an extensive range of close to 10,000 individual products spanning ceiling fans, pendant lighting, wall lights, spotlights and commercial lighting, with no single product line making up more than a small fraction of annual sales – a highly diversified and resilient revenue base.

Despite a softer trading environment over the past three years, gross margins have steadily improved to around 47%, and average EBITDA sits at $142,753, with adjusted profit reaching as high as $192,000 in recent years. The business also operates a growing eCommerce channel fully integrated with its in-store point-of-sale system, and holds a strong online reputation, including a Google rating above 4.5.

A loyal customer database of more than 20,000 contacts, low supplier concentration risk (no single supplier represents more than 16% of purchases), and multiple clear, unexploited paths to grow revenue make this an outstanding opportunity for a new owner to add value quickly.
