Dessert ShopA profitable ice cream shop operation serving the greater Helena market since 2008. A meaningful share of revenue comes from repeat and referral business built over many years of consistent service. Most new business arrives through referrals and repeat customers, so paid acquisition remains an untapped lever. A capable manager runs daily operations, and the staff is expected to remain in place through a transition. Day-to-day operations are handled by the team, with the owner focused on oversight and growth. Systems, vendor relationships, and an experienced team are all in place for a smooth handover. The local market is fragmented, positioning this business well for a buyer pursuing a consolidation strategy. Financial records are well organized and will support lender due diligence, including SBA financing. The business enjoys attractive margins relative to industry averages thanks to disciplined pricing and low overhead. What began as a small operation in 2008 has grown steadily through referrals, repeat customers, and a reputation for doing the job right. Over the past several years ownership has invested in equipment, systems, and staff development, positioning the company for its next phase of growth. Vendor and supplier relationships are long-standing, with favorable terms that a new owner will step into. Service offerings have been refined over the years to focus on the most profitable lines of work. Serious inquiries only; a signed NDA and proof of funds are required for detailed financials.
