Their business is predicated on the fact that this equipment has a significant resale value in a reconditioned state. They focus on liquidating networking, computer and telecommunications equipment from manufacturers such as Cisco, Juniper, EMC, HP, IBM, Lucent, Nortel, Sun, 3Com and others. The firm makes it easy for clients because they are a &quot;one stop&quot; shop liquidator. They handle all logistics for removing, re-selling and if necessary recycling the gear and comply with all government regulations in doing so. They either own or lease their warehouse space from which they inventory and re-condition purchased equipment. Most of the firm's competitors don't offer this level of service. In its fourteen years of existence, the company has carved out a very profitable niche in this segment of the asset resale business and have many repeat clients and well established resale channels.  ]]> </description><pubDate>11/21/2009</pubDate><listingPrice>4000000.0000</listingPrice><downPayment>4000000.0000</downPayment><grossRevenues>2547337.0000</grossRevenues><discretionaryEarnings>1222646.0000</discretionaryEarnings><locationGeneral>Connecticut</locationGeneral></item><item><title><![CDATA[ Convenience Store ]]> </title><link>http://vrbusinessbrokers.com/Listing/Convenience-Store.aspx</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://vrbusinessbrokers.com/Listing/Convenience-Store.aspx</guid><description><![CDATA[ Located in a high traffic commercial area.

Rent is about $8,400 per month complete, including R/E taxes. This is 14% of sales. Store has 15 dedicated spaces for cars plus ample side street parking for easy access to the market.The breakdown of sales is about $385,000 for grocery, $200,000 for deli, $115,000 for produce &amp;amp; flowers and $20,000 for Herbal Medicines, Books &amp;amp; Cards. Overall gross margin is about 45% with imported grocery and specialty items carrying strong margins. Sales are being somewhat affected by the recession but the customer base is varied and comes from a wide area for the specialty items, particularly Eastern European. Rent for the facility as noted, is about $100,000 annually, or about 14% of sales. Annual sales should be in the $1,000,000 range to support this rent and that kind of volume could be achievable.

Metal storage containers built to owner specifications are stored at the owner's premises and delivered/retrieved by the Company via a flat-bed truck. Established by the owner in 2007, sales for the year 2008 were roughly $50,000 without much personal attention by the owner. Expenses incurred are for truck expense (fuel and repairs), rental of a yard if required, property taxes on equipment, insurance, telephone and office expenses, etc. This is a part-time business, no added payroll required. The current set up is that the business is a satellite of a larger business of the owner run on his existing premises.Total price of the business is $175,000 cash and includes a flat-bed truck with about 15,000 miles on it plus 25 metal storage containers. Another 25 storage containers will be retained by the owner and sold to the purchaser at $4,000 each on an as-needed basis as the business grows. It would obviously be an advantage if the purchaser has a large personal or business facility where the equipment can be stored without renting additional space.                             ]]> </description><pubDate>11/21/2009</pubDate><listingPrice>175000.0000</listingPrice><downPayment>175000.0000</downPayment><grossRevenues>50000.0000</grossRevenues><discretionaryEarnings>40000.0000</discretionaryEarnings><locationGeneral>Southern Connecticut</locationGeneral></item><item><title><![CDATA[ Multi-Store Retail Sports Chain ]]> </title><link>http://vrbusinessbrokers.com/Listing/Multi-Store-Retail-Sports-Chain.aspx</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://vrbusinessbrokers.com/Listing/Multi-Store-Retail-Sports-Chain.aspx</guid><description><![CDATA[ Business is a multi-store retail chain specializing in authentic and replica sports mechandise including apparel and novelties.
