I found a chocolate business for sale.
You might think it’s just candy... but the numbers are serious. Let’s look inside this sweet little operation 🍫👇
Revenue: 2021 – $350,025 2022 – $387,844 2023 – $473,410 2024 – $524,017 (P&L)
Gross Profit: $385,526 (2024) Net Profit (SDE): ~$149K Gross margin: 73.6% Very solid for a retail/confectionery shop.
Asking Price: $425,000 Assets: Mostly goodwill (no inventory or real estate) Staff: 1 manager + 5 part-timers Return: 35% SDE on asking = 2.8x multiple (reasonable)
What makes this one attractive: ✔️ Strong brand in tourist-heavy historic town ✔️ Premium location, corner spot, lots of foot traffic ✔️ High-margin handmade products: truffles, fudge, caramel apples, etc.
My thoughts as analyst: ✅ Financials are clean. ✅ COGS under control (~26%) ✅ No debt, no legal issues. ❌ Marketing spend is tiny. ❌ Lease is month-to-month (needs renegotiation)
Where can you grow it?
- Add ecommerce (zero online sales now)
- Scale wedding/events segment
- Package & ship fudge and truffles
- Use UGC & TikTok to turn treats into content
The numbers tell a story: This isn’t just a small-town candy store. It’s a high-margin, low-headache lifestyle biz with emotional value and growth runway.
Love this kind of deal? DM me “chocolate” and I’ll send you the IM and show you how to get access to more like it every week 🍬📩
