Business Overview
- Founded 24 years ago and fully owner-operated since inception.
- Last year's net revenue of USD $2.15M (MXN $37.8M), up ~20% on previous years, with a stable ~34% gross margin and seller's discretionary earnings of ~USD $335,000 on a debt-free basis.
- Revenue model is wholesale supply to major retail chains: recurring replenishment orders across long-standing accounts. Due to wholesale nature of revenue the business is able to achieve USD 2.15 million in sales with 40 employees.
- The founder brings 50+ years in consumer products sales and trade marketing, including senior roles at multinational personal care and FMCG companies before founding this business.
- Key assets: Nine trademarks registered with the Mexican IP office (IMPI), licensed-brand distribution agreements, product sanitary registrations, an exclusive contract-manufacturing (maquila) arrangement that scales volume without capex, and a 40-person organisation including a national sales team.
- Clean credit record, no litigation, tax loss carryforwards available. Growth levers untouched: eCommerce (zero presence today), product innovation through the existing manufacturing arrangement, digital marketing, and US export under the current nearshoring environment.
Products & Services Overview
The company owns and sells everyday personal care essentials under its nine registered brands: nail polish remover and acetone, antibacterial gel and soap, body soap, talcum powder, cotton swabs, baby oil, petroleum jelly, wipes, and hair care basics.
It also distributes licensed third-party brands, making it a one-stop supplier for retail category buyers. End consumers are everyday Mexican households; the company's direct customers are national supermarket chains, pharmacy chains, wholesalers, and department stores, which it has supplied continuously for over two decades through a national sales force of key account managers and in-store promoters.
Assets Overview
Intangible: Nine trademarks registered with the Mexican IP office (IMPI), licensed-brand distribution agreements, product sanitary registrations, exclusive contract-manufacturing (maquila) arrangement, 24 years of continuous supply relationships with major national retail chains, and tax loss carryforwards.

Tangible: Inventory (worth ~USD $260k at year-end), delivery vehicles, warehouse and office equipment worth USD 20,000.

Customer receivables per closing balance. The company transfers debt-free: all liabilities will be retired by the sellers at closing.
Facilities Overview
Operations run from a leased warehouse of approximately 700 m² of built-up construction in Mexico City, including storage and distribution operations.

The company owns no real estate; the model is deliberately asset-light with manufacturing outsourced. Lease continues with the business.
Capitalization Overview
The business is funded through operating cash flow plus short-term working capital financing of approximately MXN 10.6M (~USD $600k), which carries the company's receivables from large retail chains.

The sale is offered on a debt-free basis: the sellers will fully retire all debts at closing, so no liabilities transfer to the buyer.

There are five shareholders, all members of one founding family: the founder-CEO holds 50.5%, a co-founding shareholder holds 34.5%, and three family members hold 5% each. All shareholders are aligned on a 100% sale, coordinated by the founder.
