Business Description

NOT a Franchise – No Royalties – True Joint Venture Ownership
Price: $195,000 for 50% Equity Interest Location: Phoenix Metropolitan Area Business Type: Window Treatments / Home Improvement Sales.
 
Executive Overview
This is a unique opportunity to acquire a 50% membership interest in an independently owned window-treatment sales business serving the Phoenix metropolitan area. Unlike a franchise model, this opportunity is structured as a joint-venture equity partnership. The incoming partner will serve as the Managing Member, responsible for day-to-day operations and local execution.
 
You are not just buying a territory; you are becoming a co-owner with a strategic industry partner who retains the other 50% interest. This partner participates in company governance and strategic planning, while operational control remains local with you.
 
 
Investment & Financial Highlights:

• Purchase Price: $195,000 for a 50% ownership stake.
• Operating Capital Support: The strategic partner provides a $35,000 operating capital loan to support early-stage operations, marketing, and setup.
• Zero Franchise Fees: There are no royalties, licensing fees, or mandatory system fees charged.
• Profit Participation: Profits are distributed pro rata (50/50) based on ownership interests.

 
The Business Model:
The company operates as a sales-driven window-treatment provider. The model is streamlined to reduce friction, allowing the Managing Member to focus on sales and growth while utilizing shared design resources and ordering infrastructure:
Core Revenue Streams: In-home consultations, builder/remodeler relationships, and design-forward product offerings.
Fulfillment: Manufacturer-direct fulfillment.
Scalability: The size of the Phoenix metroplex supports a scalable, multi-location business. The company anticipates the potential need for up to four locations over time to adequately serve the market.
 
 
Market Opportunity:
The Phoenix metroplex presents exceptional demand for custom window treatments.
Drivers: Continued population growth, high levels of new construction, and active remodel/renovation activity.
Target Clients: Homeowners, builders, remodelers, designers, and property investors.
 
 
Role of the Incoming Partner (Managing Member)

• This is an operator-led equity role, not a passive investment.
• Operations: Lead daily operations, staffing, and scheduling.
• Sales: Manage customer relationships and local marketing.
• Team Building: Recruit, train, and manage sales staff (conceptually 2-4 consultants in Year 1).

 
Why This is Better Than a Franchise:

• True Ownership: This is a joint venture, not a franchise or license.
• Aligned Interests: The strategic partner participates as a co-owner, not a franchisor. Their involvement arises from ownership, meaning they only succeed when the business succeeds.
• Local Autonomy: The partner does not manage day-to-day operations or supervise employees.

 
Ideal Partner Profile:

• An operator or sales-driven professional.
• Comfortable working with homeowners, builders, or designers.
• Strong communication and organizational skills with a desire for ownership.
