Loyal client base
(plus large group of occasional clients - and the number of celebrants is annually growing!)

In Melbourne, a new owner could lease pleasant offices with the option to renew. Sharing business rent and expenses with cooperative sub-tenant.
Could be arranged with a second "sub-tenant" thus increasing income. It would still have a shop feel available to walk in customers. Or could be run as a home based mail order business from anywhere in Australia thus saving rent and office expenses.

Sound income
Now run as a "co-operative", there are a number of part time salaries, and special expenses are now paid from the Celebrants Centre. One or two persons could replace all these with a salary plus profit margin.

Main Website
Celebrantscentre.com - Developed and paid for - greatly facilitates marketing and sales. Second website also shared with celebrancy.com. And advertising is also on the second College of Celebrancy website.

Susidiary Websites
One on eulogies and obituaries (apersonalhistory.com), and one for budget priced celebrant websites (marriagecelebrant.com), with proper marketing and management, could add substantially to profits.

Web Database of Paying clients
The main website is r ated Google 4 and supported by Google Adwords and Yellow pages, and other advertising. Some of this is on the College of Celebrancy website but it could be transferred. Sound income from this source. Copyrighted supporting articles on Marriage and other ceremonies.

We will continue to run the Centre in a positive efficient manner until the last day we are there, as if we never intended to sell.
