Successful Children's Flea Market Concept Seeks Franchisee

I, the store owner, founded this children’s secondhand store in April 2024, and it is currently open for business. It was Heidelberg’s first children’s secondhand store. The store is located in Heidelberg-Handschuhsheim on a street with plenty of foot traffic. It is nearly 100 square meters in size, very bright, and in excellent condition, featuring hardwood floors, solid wood interior, and a large storefront window. The product range includes used but like-new clothing for babies, children, and expectant mothers, as well as shoes, books, and toys in like-new condition, all at a mid-range price point. The business model is based on consignment sales; that is, suppliers receive a percentage of the sale price once their items are sold, and the store retains the majority of the proceeds. There is a large network of suppliers and a large base of regular customers. The store and the business concept are fully viable. A package pickup service is also operated within the premises, which can be terminated at any time if necessary. The purchase price includes: - the entire interior with all associated fixtures and fittings - the entire inventory of goods, i.e., a full store stock - the Instagram account - the website - the existing customer base - brand recognition Handover Process: I have already terminated the lease. It ends on July 14, 2026. A prospective buyer must provide confirmation by July 2 at the latest.

Established in 2008, this sole proprietorship develops and manufactures personalized products for children and babies through its own production facilities at four well-coordinated locations. Sales are conducted through its own online store as well as established platforms, including Amazon—where it has its own Brand Registry—and Etsy. The word mark registered with the DPMA and cumulative revenue of over €2.5 million since 2011 underscore the company’s market presence; the net margin has consistently ranged between 13% and 17%. The sale is taking place as part of the owner’s decision to focus on a consulting business that has been developed in parallel.

The company operates an online store for baby and children’s products. Its product range includes toys, educational materials, dolls and accessories, baby items, everyday essentials, and products for the children’s room and outdoor use. The selection is complemented by select brand-name products, seasonal items, and exclusive product collections. The focus is on carefully selected brands, high-quality materials, and products with educational value. In addition to classic toys, the store also offers furniture and decorative items for children’s rooms, practical everyday essentials such as backpacks, tableware, and organizational products, as well as gift ideas. The focus is on durable, functional, and—as sustainable as possible—products with educational value at fair prices. Sales are conducted online with various payment options, fast delivery, and customer-oriented service. Inspiration, product recommendations, and content related to everyday family life are regularly shared via social media and digital channels, reaching an active and loyal target audience. The shop has nearly 10,000 followers on a major social media platform and has had a reach of over 780k in the last 90 days. In addition, significant effort has been invested in SEO, making the company very easy to find under major search terms. Growth Potential Through Hiring and Organizational Development The company is currently intentionally lean and is primarily led by its founder. Many areas—purchasing, marketing, customer service, and social media—are handled by a single person. As a result, the growth potential is currently only partially realized. Warehousing and logistics are currently handled by a fulfillment center. With a small team, several areas could be expanded in a targeted manner: Online Marketing & Social Media: More content, regular campaigns, collaborations with family influencers, and greater use of Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest could significantly increase reach and consistently attract new customers. Product Line & Brand Partnerships: More time dedicated to expanding unique brands, exclusive products, and in-house collections would further set the store apart. Customer Service & Community: Prompt support, personalized advice, and community building strengthen customer loyalty and increase the repeat purchase rate. Content & SEO: Blog posts, guides for parents, and search engine-optimized content drive additional organic traffic in the long term. With just 1–2 employees in marketing, content, and customer service, visibility could be significantly increased and order volume scaled. The store’s existing infrastructure, established brand partners, and a loyal customer base provide an excellent foundation for this. The sale is taking place for personal reasons and due to the founder’s career change. The company is operating steadily and offers significant growth potential for a new owner.

An established B2B SaaS platform for gamified climate-focused team competitions is for sale: Corporate clients book a 3-week competition in which employees use a dedicated iOS/Android app to collect climate-friendly actions—measurable engagement instead of dry sustainability communication. Highlights: recurring corporate clients, high margins, minimal time commitment (passive), tailwind from CSRD/ESG. Ready to take over immediately and scalable—ideal for buyers in the sustainability sector.

The company sells chemical products to end consumers under its own brand—with a clear focus on household cleaning and the automotive sector. Highly efficient with a lean workforce, numerous automated processes (AI), and a fully digitized inventory management system (JTL). With its existing workforce structure, the company offers significant potential for scaling, with over 25 products currently in development and market expansion into the UK and the U.S. A long-term, exclusive partnership with a mid-sized and, above all, growth-oriented manufacturer ensures continuous product availability—this manufacturer produces 95% of all products in Germany exclusively for our distribution. The company for sale is cash flow-optimized and structured in such a way that capital expenditure for purchasing goods is kept to a minimum. The management team appointed for the company will remain with the company after the sale and is planning for the long term. A structured scaling plan for the next three fiscal years has already been developed. This plan calls for doubling the product range—while maintaining existing processes, current distribution partners, and the current staffing structure. Expansion into the UK and U.S. markets is already underway. In addition, attractive growth opportunities are emerging through the development of the company’s own online store, entry into teleshopping formats, B2B partnerships, and placement in brick-and-mortar retail stores. These prospects offer the potential to further develop the brand into one of the leading players in the household chemicals sector in Germany. The company is being sold directly by the shareholders. The reason for the sale is a change of location and personal and business changes affecting both shareholders.
