$600,000 USD
Asset-Based Acquisition
Overview
An established, award-winning home staging business in the Minneapolis/St. Paul market is available for acquisition. The business operates from a 17,000 square foot warehouse with a trained team, documented systems and a substantial inventory already in place, serving builders, real estate agents and senior living communities across the Twin Cities.
This is an asset-backed acquisition. More than $960,000 has been invested in staging inventory over two decades, acquired largely at trade and professional pricing, producing a collection with capacity to stage 50 or more homes at one time.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This is not a start-from-scratch staging concept. It is an established business with the core infrastructure already in place.
Highlights include:
Over $960,000 invested in staging inventory, with a conservative resale value of approximately $510,000
Capacity to stage 50+ homes simultaneously
Approximately 17,000 sq ft warehouse with two loading docks, on a transferable lease running through 2027
Full-time logistics manager, part-time office support, six part-time stagers and three independent moving partners already in place
Documented SOPs, employee training manuals and workflows
Dedicated inventory management system tracking more than 5,000 individual pieces
Three revenue streams: initial staging contracts, recurring monthly staging fees, and consultations
Largest single client relationship represents under 16% of annual revenue
Vacant staging rates have not been increased in over a decade, representing immediate margin opportunity for a new owner
Buyer will receive complimentary access to RESP Certification training and additional staging business courses through SLS Academy
3-month owner-supported transition

Brand name, trademark, website, social media and 5-star Google rating

Best-Fit Buyer
This opportunity may be a strong fit for:
An established home staging business expanding into the Twin Cities
An interior design firm adding staging as a service line
A real estate brokerage bringing staging in-house
A furniture or home retailer with existing warehouse and delivery capability
An operator seeking an established service business with a substantial tangible asset base
Why Acquire Instead of Build?
Assembling an equivalent inventory alone would take years and considerably more than the asking price at retail. A buyer would then face several more years building the client relationships, systems, team and reputation that transfer with this business on day one.
Transition Support
Three months of owner-supported transition, beginning at up to 20 hours per week and stepping down as the new owner takes over. Covers client, vendor and employee introductions, systems and inventory walkthroughs, pricing and proposals, scheduling and project management. Ongoing paid consulting available by separate agreement.
Reason for Sale
Owner is retiring.
