About the Business
This events business has everything it needs to make an even more successful wedding and events planning and hire business. It has unique stock and party hire items, some have been custom made, meaning that no other business has those items. This gives the business a point of difference from competitors. Clients are usually individuals and all jobs are fully pre-paid with no debts whatsoever. Events ranges from weddings, birthday parties to baby showers and lolly buffets. We have developed great working relationships with a range of suppliers, both in Ballarat and also Melbourne (where the business originated). There are comprehensive admin and supplier guides, detailing all the necessary information to run the business. All jobs are priced to make a profit and ensure that you can pay yourself too. If some time and effort are put into marketing the business, it would really make a difference. The stock fits in a double garage space, so you can potentially avoid paying storage rental. Excellent testimonials on Facebook and other social media. Ongoing expenses include: domain name, web site hosting, insurance, business name registration and annual wedding expo market fee. Low overheads make this business a great opportunity to maximise return on investment.
History
The business was established in 2014. We have great client reviews and testimonials. It has been fun running the business and coming up with different concepts for clients and then working out how to implement those ideas. We did an Alice in Wonderland themed baby shower and even made a backdrop where the guests had to bob down to get through the keyhole. Creativity abounds for the right owner! We have had repeat clients, because they loved the high level of service and detailed communication that they received.
