New Opportunity: Passive Food Production Business On Vancouver Island

BCBusinessBrokers has an exciting, new business opportunity--“Passive Food Production Business” (VANISBC001-N135).

Traditionally grown in the purest of Japanese streams, authentic wasabi (Wasabia Japonica) has been notoriously difficult to grow in any other environment. Following decades of research and development, the patent pending proprietary process of growing semi-aquatic wasabi in a greenhouse environment has been perfected. With four sites successfully operating for six (6) years, the company is expanding its commercial production. Limited opportunities are now available on Vancouver Island. This is a passive business opportunity with strong expansion potential.  Full time site management will ensure that greenhouse construction and crops are monitored, managed and cared for. A Grower’s Unit includes a license to purchase wasabi plantlets; guaranteed sales; and three (3) fully-erected greenhouses (20,000 sq ft) ready for planting. Demand for high-grade wasabi greatly exceeds supply in the culinary market worldwide; fresh wasabi is sold out weekly. New orders cannot be filled. The limited supply has been further affected by elevated radiation levels in the wake of Japan’s 2011 earthquake and nuclear fallout. Merely replacing the culinary production lost in Japan represents an enormous market demand. Customer requests far exceed what this site can produce based on wholesale prices to culinary markets only. There is also an increasing demand for wasabi in the multi-billion dollar anti-aging and biomedical industries. Research validates compounds found in wasabi which are known to be effective in treating stomach cancer, just one of wasabi’s many applications and upsides. Being involved in commercial wasabi production on Vancouver Island is a sound and lucrative business opportunity. With only one commercial wasabi operation in North America and an unpenetrated global demand, this is the ideal time to secure your position as a Grower.

For Sale By Owner?

You’ve made the decision. You want to sell your business. Perhaps you are seeking a change in career or you’ve done your time and the golfing greens are calling your name. For whatever the reason, your business is up for a transfer in ownership and you hope to find the right buyer who will recognize the value of your business. Where do you start? With the advent of several online marketplaces, sites where you can reach a large number of buyers, do you need the assistance of an expert or can you do it yourself? Professional Business Brokers, also called business transfer agents or intermediaries, assist business owners to sell their businesses by matching screened buyers and streamlining the selling process. Sounds easy? Perhaps, if you have the time and the skill. But, consider what an effective business broker does:

- Values the business utilizing multiple methodologies, providing the most probable selling price for the current market
- Presents to prospective buyers the true value of the business through “normalization” of financials
- Assists with “presale” preparations, helping owners best position their business for sale
- Markets the business using newspaper & internet advertising, internal buyer lists, targeted solicitations and web advertising
- Adds a layer of confidentiality by advertising the business for sale without disclosing its identity
- Screens and qualifies buyers and/or strategic partners, creatively structuring the deal
- Helps keep a complex process legal—business brokers have contracts such as Letters of Intent, NDAs (Non Disclosure Agreements) and can often reduce the owners’ legal fees
- Manages the progress of “due diligence” investigation with lawyers and accountants, pivotal to a successful closing
- Negotiates with buyers and closes the deal
