Company history/background
The company was founded in 2019. It is a leading lighting studio located in a major city in the west of the country with a strong online platform featuring more than 7,000 lights from well-known (design) brands. In recent years, more than 15,000 orders have been placed by customers, with a total turnover of nearly 7 million euros. The combination of a physical studio and online sales has proven successful and forms a solid foundation for further growth.
Company activities
The company is managed by the founder and works with a fixed, flexible team of professionals for online marketing, web development, lighting installation, administration, transport, and warehousing. Core processes are automated, ensuring efficient operations and a highly scalable model.
Unique selling points
The company experienced a period of explosive growth from 2019 to 2023, followed by challenges in 2024 related to a conflict and the buyout of the partner. Since Q4 2025, stability has fully returned, with a gross margin of over 40%. Past challenges have led to sharper choices and greater focus. There is full control over costs, gross margins (> 40%), and cash flow. Tighter inventory management and improved project monitoring ensure a healthy financial foundation.
Other
The Dutch market is changing rapidly. Due to the aging workforce in existing lighting stores, many independent players with turnovers between €300,000 and €800,000 are disappearing. The market is being redistributed, and this company is excellently positioned to fill that void with a scalable, profitable concept for a buyer seeking just that.
