Description

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a highly respected, 30-year-old independent record label based in Scottsdale, Arizona. The business valuation is heavily asset-based, anchored by an extensive Intellectual Property catalog featuring over 200 artists (including iconic names) and $800,000 in collectible physical inventory (vinyl/CDs). The IP generates reliable, recurring royalty and licensing income from global physical, digital, and streaming sales, supported by agreements with major labels like Sony and Warner. The company is perfectly positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for vinyl collectibles. The owner is offering transition support for 2-3 years post-sale.
