Description:

Turnkey Event Décor + Install franchise | Perfect Add-On for Florists, Bakers, anyone associated with the wedding or event planning business.

Step into a fast-growing, high-demand niche in the events world with this exciting Event Decor / Balloons and more —a proven event décor + installation business specializing in custom balloon garlands, arches, organic installs, backdrops, and event styling for birthdays, weddings, corporate activations, grand openings, showers, and seasonal celebrations.

This is an ideal ADD-ON acquisition for an existing florist, bakery, wedding/event planner, party rental company, photographer/videographer, venue operator, or signage/print shop looking to (1) increase average ticket size, (2) offer a new high-margin service line, and (3) keep more event spend “in-house.” It also fits an owner-operator who wants a creative, appointment-based business with strong local demand.

Instant cross-sell: floral + balloon installs, dessert tables + balloon backdrops, wedding planning + full visual styling
Bundle packages: décor packages can be packaged with flowers, cakes, coordination, rentals, signage, and photography
Referral flywheel: venues, planners, and photographers refer décor vendors all day long—this plugs directly into that pipeline
Brand + systems: franchise support, processes, and proven install offerings help shorten the learning curve.

* Established Charleston market presence in a category that benefits from social sharing and repeat celebrations
* Turnkey operation with transferable franchise rights (subject to franchisor approval)
* Lease is in good standing and assignable
* Straightforward operations: quoting, scheduling, ordering materials, build + install, teardown
* Opportunity to grow through corporate accounts, venue partnerships, recurring client relationships, and expanded package/rental offerings

This business is ideal for a buyer who can tighten labor scheduling, improve pricing/installation minimums, optimize marketing spend, and run the business as an owner-operator or bolt it onto an existing event business to capture immediate synergies.

Included: business assets and operating systems, web/social presence, and transition support to ensure a smooth handoff. Full details provided after NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement).

If you already serve Charleston’s event market, this is a rare chance to add a highly complementary service line and start selling bundled “wow factor” installs immediately.

Facilities:

Includes franchise rights/territory, business name/phone, website & social accounts, client/vendor lists, installation tools (inflators, rigging, hand tools), stands/frames/backdrop components, and inventory on hand at closing. Detailed asset list provided after NDA.
Competition:
Charleston is a strong event market (weddings, hospitality, corporate activations, birthdays), and “photo-first” décor continues to grow via social media. Competition is mostly independent decorators, florists, and party-rental firms; this business benefits from a recognized franchise brand, defined service offerings, and repeat/referral relationships with venues, planners, and local businesses. Buyer can win by being responsive, packaged/priced clearly, and reliable on installs.
Growth & Expansion:
Excellent add-on for florists, bakers, planners, photographers, party rentals, venues, or signage/print shops—bundle décor with existing services to raise average ticket and keep referrals in-house. Growth levers: expand corporate/recurring accounts (grand openings, hotels, retail), preferred-vendor partnerships with venues/planners, upsell backdrops/rentals/props, tighten install minimums and delivery fees, improve scheduling/labor efficiency, and invest in SEO/Google reviews and targeted ads.
Financing:
Seller financing available

Negotiable with substantial down payment and short term

Support & Training:
Seller will provide hands-on transition training covering quoting/pricing, lead handling, ordering, build methods, on-site install/breakdown, and day-to-day operations. Buyer receives franchisor onboarding per the Franchise Agreement, plus introductions to key vendors and repeat clients. Post-closing phone/email support for a smooth handoff (timing negotiable).
