Businesses for sale

Business Owners: We have traveled quite some distance over the past 100 years when mass production began delivering complicated products to customers in standardized forms. Henry Ford typified that era in explaining customer choices in paint colors for his Model T automobile: “The customer can have any color he wants so long as it’s black.”

Over the past 30 years, market research has gained better insight into each industry’s customer needs, research and production technologies make the impossible producible at a profit, and distribution gets it to you whenever you want and where ever you are.

Mass production is giving way to mass customization and now made to order. Short runs and one-of-a-kind orders at affordable prices and rapid turnaround occur in four-color printing. Businesses have been carving out profitable market niches to deliver organic produce, socially fair trade coffee, cruelty-free beauty products, socially responsible investment funds, and ecotourism. And textiles roll out fabric that is definitely not run-of-the-mill.

Just as no two pine trees are alike, no two businesses are alike, even when flying the same colors of a franchise business.

We invite you to keep the uniqueness of each business in mind as we highlight a few businesses that are not run of the mill:
