DISABLED-VETERAN-OWNED BUSINESS FOR SALE - LOCATED IN SPRING, TEXAS! If you are asking, "Why?" then read on. Scroll down for the list of items
I've been putting this off for as long as I could, but it's time to replace two AC Units and install a new permanent generator, and I just don't have the $$ to do it. Family comes first, so it's time to put on my big boy pants and sell my toys. My loss is your massive gain if you hustle even a little. I have a full time position in the US Government, so this business has always only been used to provide joy and love to others who need it, not to drive a profit. I'm a disabled Veteran who has used this business to fill a creative void that started when our band, Seasons of Insanity and brothers went their separate ways at the start of COVID. Then we moved to Houston for personal health and growth reasons. Now it's time to focus on the next phase in life.
I originally wanted to open a Maker Space for Veterans and other creatives who need the creative release, but I never got there. I prefer to sell everything together as a business instead of piecing it out, but if it doesn't sell in an appropriate amount of time, I'll consider piecing it out to afford the repairs on the house. Every single item is brand new (less than a year old), dialed in to immaculate precision and will put out 5 Star quality from the start. All shipping, crating, transporting will be done at your expense.
This sale also includes a very successful 5 STAR Etsy with all raving reviews, as well as a Shopify web site and Facebook business page. These would be transferred upon completion of sale. All reasonable offers will be considered.
A portion or what is left over after the repairs on the house will be donated to a woman who is in need and has been a huge help.
List of equipment in this business:
1) Mira 9 100W CO2 Laser with tons of extras, including a transferrable warranty and stand
2) Eagle 50W JPT Fiber Laser with 3 Lenses and a stand
3) Roland BN-20 Wide format Print and Cut printer (great for stickers) plus plenty of materials.
4) Silhouette Cameo Pro 4 vinyl cutter (huge cutting width)
5) Cricut Maker vinyl cutter with plenty of mats
6)Brand new ZZ2C 2-head flatbed UV Printer (less than a month old) with a ton of extras, including UV DTF materials and brand new laminator.
7) Counter Top Powder Coating System to powder coat tumblers and small parts, with ton of extras.
8) Tons of embroidery supplies, including Hoopmaster sets and Hoopmaster hoops that fit Ricoma embroidery machines and any that has similar fittings.
9) Stainless Steel tables and shelves for everything
10) lots of extras, including new sheets of acrylic and several items that will literally start a profit on Day 1.
SERIOUS OFFERS ONLY! Please don't waste yours or my time. Anything obviously ridiculous will not be replied to. Again, this business listing will be sold as a whole unless it doesn't sell within a certain amount of time, at which time I will consider offers to split items. I can facetime/Facebook video chat you live to demonstrate how well each item works if you submit a serious offer.
