BUSINESS FOR SALE:
After being in this business for about 20 years,  we are ready to consider serious offers from qualified buyers.
Our whole company, AC Medical Supplies, is for sale, for 152,000 $ US.   Make us your offer.
This includes the company's  present stock in an estimated potential retail value of over 1,800,000.00 $ US(if the rubber or vinyl sheeting is used to make garments), the manufacturing machinery, the company's name, contacts with suppliers of material,  the contacts with contractors, the files, the contacts with models for product display, all our mailorder information, and the computers used for the business.  Clearly, the most valuable financial asset purchased is our existing stock, as in our warehouse.  Even if purchased for a wholesale re-sale, as is, reselling only the ready made garments and selling the rubber or vinyl sheeting (to manufacturers of pants) as is, the estimated value of the stock is 686,330.00 $ US.
We do not sell any existing building or warehouse. You would need to arrange to own or rent your own warehouse to relocate the business. To accommodate the existing stock, a warehouse is needed with the space of minimally 1,600 square feet (about 150 square meters), as well as office and work space of about 500 square feet (about 45 square meters), unless you would set up your business office (and possibly also the warehousing/manufacturing) in your personal residence, in an effort to reduce initial expenses. In the USA, even very large residential buildings sell at a low price, this year, and many of them would be very suitable.  On some locations in the Southern USA, in an effort to attract industrial activity, the local governments (state or municipal) might offer you various financial grants or other assistance (e.g., advice in  locating suitable industrial buildings or larger residential buildings at a low cost) to start your business.
Your business could be located anywhere in USA or Canada, England, or Australia or France or Germany, or another coutry within the European community.
We could help to arrange the relocation.  This is negotiable.
Mortgage style purchase:  Rather than receving the huge sum of money immediately, we would also accept a mortgage style transaction where the buyer would pay us certain amount, e.g., 51,000 US $ each year for 3 years, using some of his or her personal property as a colateral (e.g., a real estate, in value of 100,000 $ US), with our legal lean against that property.  We could not do this without the colateral.  Please feel free to make us an offer in a manner more viable and advantageous for you.
For those wishing to immigrate to USA or Canada or UK, this is an easy way to obtain an immigrant's visa.
There is an opportunity to be your own employer.  The best is to run this as a family business, without hiring any other staff.  You can travel the world (a legitimate business expense) and have the opportunity to help the sick and disadvantaged.  Most of our customers (more than 90%) are in the USA or Canada and they own their own computers and are in touch with us by e-mail.  Our customers as a group could be best described as intelligent but disabled persons.  Our customers purchase from us on a repeated basis because our merchandise is of high quality.  This is extremely difficult to achieve without many years of experience, hard work,  and without contacts with suppliers of materials, etc. :  we sell the existing stock + the expertise + the commercial contacts.
Our company involves manufacturing, designing new products, contracting out some of the labor, importing, exporting, retail (mailorder sales and direct contacts), wholesale (e.g., to medical supply stores or mailorder companies).  We will provide all information we have needed ourselves to run the business and we would also stay in touch to train you and coach you in the first 5 months. Multilingual support (translations) is negotiable, however, it is not necessary because the correspondence with customers in languages other than Engtlish (French, German, Spanish, Portuguese) accounts only for a tiny and insignificant part of our sales, as shown by our sales files.
If you wish, you could also purchase the company at a lower price (20% discount) with the agreement that we would retain rights to sell to countries that are not using English as their official language: then, you could continue the sales in English wherever you please.
Many people attempt to idependently start their own mailorder business with reusable incontinence pants each year and almost always their company is defunct within 2 years.  The usual reasons for this usually include:
1) reliance on too expensive or unreliable suppliers (manufacturers of vinyl or rubber sheeting and related contractors) or being cheated by unscupulous "manufacturers" that, at the end, deliver defective merchandise once you place a very large order,
2) inadequate manufacturing methods, and
3) a lack of a large network of steady customers (retail and wholesale), those familiar with the high quuality of your products.
These factors result in an inadequate income, a too low income to continue in the business.
The estimated time expenditure for the new owner(s):    15 to 50 working hours per week, for 2 or 3  staff members, depending on the number of incoming orders.  It may be of advantage to do this as a family.  The amount of time may unpredictably increase or decrease.   The time needed to accomplish the various tasks depends on the speed and style of your work as well as on how the future (in particular, the relationships with customers and suppliers) would develop.  The business could not be handled by one person only, as an addition to another full time job: in this case, the owner would need to hire some part-time help.
The best location for the business:   USA (preferably not Alaska or Hawaii) because most of our customers are in the USA.   On some locations in the Southern USA, the local government might offer various financial grants or other assistance (e.g., advice in  locating suitable industrial buildings at a low cost) to start your business.
However, with the North-American free trade agreement, Canada is also an excellent location.
An opportunity to engage in charity:
Recently, we have donated reusable diapers for a hospice for chronically ill orphans in Honduras and also, for many thousands of dollars, diapers in adult size to the World Medical Relief (Detroit, Michigan).
In 2001, we gave incontinence pants in value above 20,000 US $ to a Christian charitable organization with the seat in Southern USA.
We also donated plastic pants to one of the American cerebral palsy associations, in the area of St. Louis, MO.
About 15 years ago, we also donated hundreds of plastic pants to the World Medical Relief (Detroit, Michigan).
We also support the National Foundation for Continence (USA).   We also donate money for scientific research on cancer (research carried out at a major Canadian university) and for research on Multiple Sclerosis.
Warehouse:  to accommodate the existing stock, a warehouse is needed with the space of minimally 1,600 square feet (about 150 square meters), as well as office and work space of about 500 square feet (about 45 square meters).
The merchandise in our stock:  this is the most valuable part of your purchase and logically the main reason to purchase our company.  The other items such as the machinery or computers are irrelevant as their value is very small.  However, the information on manufacturing methods, business contacts, and the list of customers is certainly of enormous value and essential for the success of the business: we would provide you with all this, after you purchase the stock (plastic and rubber sheeting, all reusable waterproof pants, related garments, and reusable diapers).  To see the list of the most important parts of our current stock (the stock you would own), please click here: our stock

Our price:    The price includes  the stock (estimated retail value of about 1,800,000.00 US $) plus the documentation about material suppliers and buyers (included in the price).   We sell the company for  152,000 $ US.   The asking price may change without notice: if serious, please inquire about the current price. Only if you definitely qualify financially and if you are very seriously interested, e-mail us to:   acms@acmedi.com.
Please no idle correspondence, there are many "dreamers" but very few "go-getters"  and we do not have  time for idle chatting.  If you are a go-getter, please contact us with a reasonable offer.
Please do not request a telephone contact before you have all essential questions answered per e-mail. Writing an e-mail may help you to clearly formulate your questions.  Furthermore,  you would have an extensive written documentation about your questions and our responses.  However, please avoid asking questions for which you can locate answers in this internet summary.
We have had too many people contacting us in a very idle and casual manner, perhaps as a way of nurturing a day dream of being a business owner, one day, however, without being serious and down-to-earth about it.  Before any telephone contact, please prepare a draft of a legal document about the purchase (preferably with the help of your lawyer).  It is important that you would be comfortable with the text of the document. We would then jointly review the text and suggest corrections or changes.  The final version of the sale document would actually include the list of our existing stock with its current wholesale price and retail price and you would be asked to inspect the stock.
Before any telephone contact with us, please also start inquiring about the price of renting or buying a suitable building (clean, dry, medically free of harmful bacteria or molds, etc) with the space of minimally 1,600 square feet (about 150 square meters), where you could also have office and work space of about 500 square feet (about 45 square meters) unless you already have such a building.
We could not do this for you.  The exception could be made with a future immigrant from a very distant wealthy country such as UAE or Saudi Arabia who would already purchase the business from us first, beforehand, with the condition that we subsequently help you to find a rental building to accomodate your stock and manufacturing (if he or she would ask for a building in our city).
We are willing to negotiate a discount with those who approach us in an organized and time-saving manner.  However, we could not give away some of our business secrets before you purchase the stock.  For example, an interested person asked us to mail her photographs of our machinery, however, we do not wish to reveal our manufacturing secrets to potential competitors, free of charge.  Our products are of good quality and we have some steady wholesale customers that have been re-selling our products for more than 15 years.  This alone shows that our manufacturing technology is indeed satisfactory.
Please do not approach us on impulse: carefully prepare your questions first.  And, to ask yourself if you are ready, even before talking to us, please carefully consider the following:
1. if  you can raise the money for the purchase within the next 4 months, or negotiate a mortgage style purchase with payments spread over several years,
2.  if you have good writing skills (you would need to write letters to your suppliers and to your wholesale customers and answer e-mails),
3.  if you have sufficient time (15 to 50 hours per week + the help of another person) for this work (manufacturing, warehousing, correspondence, transport of goods, packaging of ordered goods for your wholesale or retail customers, delivering their parcels to a post office or UPS, preparing the documents for customs, etc.),
4.  if you have or can find a suitable building at a suitable location,
5.  if you can prepare the legal document about the purchase (with the help of your lawyer).
To think positively, please consider that if you deposit your 152,000 $ in a bank, the highest yearly interest rate the banks now usually offer in Canada or USA  is  far below 6%.  Leaving your money in the bank accounts is a safe and common practice and it does not require much work.   However, if you purchase and then re-sell our present stock, you might turn the 152,000 $ into 1,500,000 $, i.e., you might probably obtain at least 8 times more than your initial investment (i..e., an interest of  more than 800.0 % rather than 6.0 % only).  Even if your business expenses would unexpectedly mushroom to 50% of the income, you would still earn 400.0 % interest, through your creative work.
Personal note: We have tried to sell the company now for about 4 years, there were different types of people interested, most of them did not realized how much work it involves (physical work, inlcuding sewing, packaging, carrying heavy rolls of meterials, making parcels, etc, as well as a lot of correspondence and computer work) and even those who had the money did not seem to really have a good idea on how to run the company.  It would be best suited for a family that has a large house with an extensive adjoining land and if they could build an addition to the house where they could store the goods and work.  It could give them independence.  They could choose where they want to live as they would not depend on an employer.
