$185K SDE MEAT WHOLESALER & DISTRIBUTOR – REPEAT TRADE CLIENTS, SEMI-MANAGED

An outstanding opportunity to acquire a profitable meat wholesaling and distribution business supplying repeat trade clients on a consistent, B2B basis. Established in April 2024, the business has achieved immediate commercial success due to the owner's 15+ years of industry experience, with long-standing wholesale customers migrating directly into this operation. This provides the rare advantage of a young entity with mature revenue quality, proven buying channels, stable demand, and repeat ordering behaviour typical of established distributors.

The business generates average weekly sales of approximately $24,000 (based on highest and based on growing trend) and delivers a weekly net profit of around $2,550. On an annualised basis, this equates to approximately $135,000 net profit, plus owner wages of roughly $50,000 per annum, resulting in Seller's Discretionary Earnings of approximately $185,000 per annum. Cost of goods average around 60%, supported by strong supplier pricing and efficient volume purchasing. The operating cost base is well controlled, with weekly expenses comprising rent of approximately $1,400 (inclusive), wages of around $3,200, superannuation of approximately $350, delivery and logistics costs of about $1,500, and miscellaneous operating expenses of roughly $1,000.

Operations are purpose-built for wholesale supply and distribution rather than retail trade, with efficient logistics, streamlined delivery workflows, and systems designed to support repeat trade ordering. The business services a stable base of hospitality and food service clients, offering predictable revenue and reduced reliance on walk-in or discretionary consumer spending.

The operation is semi-managed, with the owner currently contributing approximately 20 hours per week. A manager and trained staff are in place, making the business suitable for either an owner-operator seeking strong cash flow or an investor looking for a structured, scalable distribution platform. The existing lease provides security through to 2028 with a further option available, supporting long-term operational continuity.

Significant upside exists through expanding delivery routes, increasing trade account penetration, and introducing complementary or value-added product lines, all of which can be achieved without material increases to the fixed cost base. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a genuine wholesaling and distribution business with real earnings, repeat customers, and immediate cash flow, without the extended establishment phase typically required in this sector. Confidential enquiries are invited.
