Christopher W. Balthasar, J.D.
Broker
Christopher Balthasar received his B.A. in Philosophy from Haverford College in 1987, and his law degree from Loyola Law School in 1995. He worked in business and toxic tort litigation, and once wrote a court medical brief that helped establish causation in a case known as Anderson vs. PG&E, later made into a Hollywood motion picture called Erin Brokovich.
In 1998 Chris and his wife, Grace, launched Nirvana Candle Company (www.nirvanacandles.com) out of a garage, and grew it to over $1 million in annual sales in just over two years. The experience of running and growing a manufacturing operation with 20 employees – along with his legal expertise – provided the perfect background for Chris’ current work as a business broker with Business Sales Consultants.
Chris is a member of the California State Bar Association and the California Association of Business Brokers (CABB), and holds a broker’s license from the California Department of Real Estate. His interests include Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and he has won both gold and silver medals in the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu U.S. Open, and competed in the World Championships. He is a dual citizen of the U.S. and Switzerland, and happily married with two precious children.

| Wholesale Jewelry Distributor |
| Listing ID: SSL050808 |
Location: Santa Cruz County |
|
Brief:
Earn $130,000 per year or more from home, with this established, wholesale jewelry business!
For over 22 years, this company has been a wholesale distributor of high-end, imported jewelry to retail stores up and down the California coast, as well as to parts of the mid-West. Now, ready to retire, and recently injured in a disabling motorcycle accident, the owner is putting this company on the market.
Growth potential? Yes! This business has been consistently netting a six figure income without a single sales rep, and without harnessing the power of the internet. (It has a basic website, but no shopping cart, no search engine optimization, and no Google ad campaign – and it still attracts customer inquiries every week). A new owner who upgrades the website and signs on some sales reps, could potentially expand the customer base and take the company from regional to national in a matter of years.
The seller will provide basic training, introductions to local clients, and possibly fly with you to Thailand where you’d be traveling at least once a year, to tour the tradeshow, meet suppliers, and pick-up new lines. Domestic travel is also currently required to call on customers, many of whom are in coastal California towns. Also included in the asking price are fixtures, equipment, displays, and $125,000 worth of inventory.
This is an ideal family business, or acquisition for an existing distributor. Easily relocated.
