🌟New Listing🌟

Well-established floral business serving the Charleston area for more than 80 years. This respected local brand has built a loyal customer base through generations of service and continues to benefit from strong repeat business, referrals, and excellent online reviews. The company operates primarily through online, phone, and delivery orders, creating an efficient business model without reliance on walk-in traffic.

Annual revenue has remained consistently around $440,000–$450,000, with Seller's Discretionary Earnings approaching $100,000. The business is fully equipped for continued operation and includes a delivery vehicle, walk-in cooler, upgraded point-of-sale system, furniture, fixtures, equipment, and inventory. A new owner can step into a proven operation with established vendor relationships, streamlined processes, and a recognized name in the marketplace.

The current owner works approximately 40 hours per week and is selling for personal family reasons unrelated to business performance. Significant opportunities exist to increase revenue through expanded marketing, corporate accounts, event and wedding work, additional product offerings, and the potential reopening of a customer-facing retail component.

This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a long-standing, recognizable business with deep community roots, a strong reputation, and a proven operating model in one of the Southeast's most desirable markets.

🌟Technology-enabled turnkey vending route primed for growth!🌟

Established Charleston-area vending business focused on premium snacks, beverages, and healthier grab-and-go products through modern automated vending machines. The company operates multiple strategically placed machines equipped with electronic payment systems, refrigeration capabilities, and inventory tracking technology.

The business has experienced significant recent growth following the addition of several machines late last year.

The operation is intentionally lean and currently owner-operated with approximately 12 to 15 hours per week dedicated mainly to servicing and stocking machines.

Included in the sale is approximately $111,000 in vending equipment, inventory, and operational assets, creating a turnkey opportunity for an owner-operator, semi-absentee owner, or existing vending company seeking expansion in the Charleston market.

Several immediate growth opportunities exist.

Buyer will be required to sign NDA prior to receiving additional business details.

A decade ago, research suggested that only about 28% of family businesses had a formal succession plan in place. While awareness has improved, the underlying challenge remains remarkably persistent. Recent studies from organizations such as PwC indicate that today, only around 30–35% of family businesses have a documented succession strategy. This means that most family businesses are still figuring out their transition planning path without a clear roadmap.

This lack of preparation is rather striking. Consider the fact that family-owned businesses continue to account for roughly 70–90% of businesses globally. This figure has remained relatively stable over the years. Yet continuity across generations has not improved at the same pace. Those figures reveal how difficult it remains to sustain a business beyond its founder.

If you are a family business owner considering a sale, the fact of the matter is that the complexities are often greater than they are in non-family firms. This is true both on an operational as well as an emotional level.

New business owners often are thinking about growth and working to increase revenue. While this is no doubt important, many people overlook a critical part of long-term success, and that is planning how they will eventually leave the business. The truth is that exit planning is most effective when it becomes part of your strategy from the beginning.

A common assumption is that selling a business is simple. But in reality, it can take years to find the right buyer. Without proper preparation, owners may feel like they have less options down the line. They may feel stuck or even forced into decisions that do not meet their goals and expectations. The good news is that planning ahead gives you the opportunity to shape your business into something that is both profitable and attractive to future buyers.
