• Pilates Unlimited is first and foremost an on going enterprise.  You are buying a client base, a trained staff of instructors and front office people, a fully functional set of procedures and business practices, and 15 years of good will and market impact.
• There is a complete studio set of solid maple equipment:  six reformers, one  Cadillac, one large barrel, two small  barrels, and one chair.
• In addition, there are several class sets of mats, and a large assortment of balls, rollers, balance disks, circles, bands, etc.
• There is a complete reception office with a new computer, up to date software, desk, new copy/fax/scanner, files, secure drop box, phones etc.
• Right off the reception area is a large lockable executive office with another new computer, desk, etc.  This room does double duty as a therapy room.
• Often overlooked, but of immeasurable value:  the business comes with a valid "assembly use -fitness centre"  Development Permit, and is legal and licensed for fitness, rehabilitation, retail sales and health enhancement uses.  This  paper work alone cost $20,000!  Most of your competition in Vancouver is not legal, because of the cost and difficulty of finding suitable venues.
• The domain name Pilates.ca and the excellent website is part of the deal.  Google "Pilates Vancouver" or "Pilates Canada" and this website will be first or in the top three every time. www.pilates.ca
• Pilates Unlimited has used the same format for signage and advertising for over 15 years resulting in a "brand" recognition unsurpassed in Vancouver.
• The commercial lease is in the hands of the studio owner, who also owns the commercial strata.  The terms could be adjusted to accomodate the buyer. 
• There are up to four secured underground parking spaces included for staff and metered street parking for clients.
• The format of the sale will be the transfer of 100% of the shares in Pilates Unlimited Fitness and Rehabilitation, Inc., the legal owner of these assets.
• The company books will be available for examination following a qualified offer.
• The company is debt free and has weathered the recession and the Vancouver  2010 Olympics with a modest profit.

The studio is an oasis of calm in the urban core, bathed in natural light.  There are huge windows around three sides.  Plants and clients thrive, but heat and glare are not a problem because the windows face east and north.

It is difficult to calculate a fair market value for this exceptional business.  We estimate it should sell for $189,000 - based on similar business sales. This 30% price reduction is a reflection of the difficult market and lower than average profit levels in an economic slowdown.
