This home-based business cleans and repairs window blinds, and sells and installs window coverings throughout the Wasatch Front. This is a perfect opportunity to operate as a side business or to grow it into a full-time endeavor.
The business has been in existence for six years, and the current owner operates it part-time. Cleaning and repairs require the equivalent space of a one car garage. The owner goes to clients- homes for sales calls. Competitive Overview Most competitors in the blind cleaning business perform the cleaning at clients- homes, and the cleaning solutions tend to leave a mess on clients- window sills. This is a niche business that provides high quality ultrasonic cleaning at value pricing by allowing customers to drop off the blinds at the business. Pick-up and delivery with optional reinstallation is available for an extra charge. Similarly, due to low overhead and preferred pricing from distributors, this enterprise consistently beats competitor-s pricing on window coverings (drapes, curtains, blinds, shutters). Potential Growth The new owner could easily grow the business by investing more time in sales appointments, more effective advertising, including increasing Search Engine Optimization and Google Pay Per Click, as well as by offering additional fee-based and complementary services.
