by an intermediary from Bucknell University in Santa Monica, CA, USA

The Company is a well-established musical instrument retailer with a strong national reputation among manufacturers, dealers, and customers. It is a well-run, respected operation known for authenticity, specialized product knowledge, and exceptional customer service. Founded in the early 2000’s as a home-based venture, the Business has grown steadily over the years into a multi-channel operation with both online and retail presence. Today, the Company stands out in the industry for its boutique and specialty product lines, strong vendor relationships, and recognition as a top retailer. Its scale and flexible operations allow it to stock unique guitar brands, pedals, and limited-edition products that larger competitors typically cannot support. With approximately 90% of revenue generated online, the business reaches customers nationwide while leveraging advanced warehouse and automation technologies, enabling efficient operations and the ability to adapt quickly to market trends. Significant growth opportunities remain for an acquirer. Additional capital would allow the Company to increase high-demand inventory, capture missed sales, strengthen cash flow, and reinvest in marketing—initiatives that could potentially double revenue. The Company’s strong brand, loyal customer base, and operational foundation provide a clear platform for continued growth under new ownership, ensuring its next chapter can build on years of proven success. NDA is required to secure comprehensive Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM) crafted by ProNova Partners. Detailed Information Facilities: The Company operates from a fully utilized 24,000 sq. ft. facility that combines warehouse, office, and retail space. The space includes seven offices, four bathrooms, five parking spaces, a break room, a 2,000 sq. ft. retail area, expanded guitar storage, and in-house technical service areas, supporting both local customers and the Company’s online inventory. The Business previously expanded into the adjacent warehouse and added office rooms, though no major fixed assets were added, and the offices would not need to be removed if relocating. Competition: The Company stands out through its flexibility, personalized service, and specialty equipment offerings. Unlike larger competitors, it supports boutique brands that other dealers cannot accommodate and provides one-on-one attention to customers and manufacturers. Growth & Expansion: Additional capital would enable the Company to acquire more high-demand inventory, capture missed sales opportunities, and improve cash flow, while allowing reinvestment in marketing to drive revenue and profitability—fully stocking inventory could potentially double current revenue. Financing: TBD if structure and terms are acceptable. Support & Training: The Sellers are willing to stay on with the Company for a limited time should the Buyer prefer their continued involvement. Reason for Selling: The Sellers are seeking a successor who can leverage the Company’s strong foundation and propel it into its next chapter of growth.
