Patented Indoor Tanning Product • No Competition • Home-Based
Business Description
Established Brand with IP, Operations, and Growth-Ready Infrastructure
Tanshon (a name combining “tan” and “cushion”) offers a turnkey opportunity centered around a novel, first-to-market indoor tanning bed cushion. Protected by a granted U.S. design patent, the product addresses a long-ignored gap in tanning bed foot and heel support and is positioned to become a natural next-step amenity for both tanning salons and individual users.
The home-based business began as a passion-driven product development initiative by the owner, a long-time tanning bed user who identified a consistent comfort issue not solved by existing accessories. Over a two-year period, the concept was fully developed into a patented product with branded packaging, trademark protection, outsourced manufacturing relationships, and a fully built e-commerce infrastructure.
While the product has been launched, revenue to date has been limited, as the owner’s primary business has required most of his time and attention, leaving little opportunity to actively scale sales and marketing efforts for Tanshon.
As a result, Tanshon presents a rare opportunity: a protected, first-to-market product with zero direct competition, strong unit economics, and significant upside for a new owner ready to actively pursue growth. The sale allows an entrepreneur or investor to step into a complete operating foundation and immediately focus on expansion rather than product creation.
The business includes finished inventory, intellectual property (including the granted design patent), a fully functional Shopify website, branded retail packaging, and an extensive indoor tanning industry sales lead list. Growth paths include distributor partnerships, commission-based sales representatives, e-commerce expansion, and international markets.
With minimal operational complexity and high-margin potential, Tanshon is well-suited for an owner-operator or strategic buyer seeking a scalable, defensible niche product in a well-established industry.
A full Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM) is available for qualified buyers.

- Market Outlook / Competition
- Tanshon is a first-of-its-kind product addressing a long-ignored gap in tanning bed comfort: foot and heel support. This novel design is protected by a U.S. patent and faces zero direct competition. The indoor tanning market represents a large, established, underserved audience, with ~27,300 salons in the U.S. (avg. 10 beds/location) and an estimated 7.8 million U.S. adult users annually. Much like headrests became standard for upper-body comfort, Tanshon is positioned as a natural next-step amenity for foot support and a compelling upgrade.
- Opportunities for Growth
- With branding, manufacturing, and e-commerce infrastructure already in place, Tanshon is positioned for rapid scale through multiple channels. Growth opportunities include the addition of commission-based sales reps, distributor partnerships, marketplace expansion (e.g., Amazon), and international expansion into Europe. An established Salon Starter Pack program enables pre-sale product sampling by salons, and influencer partnerships and trade exposure can further accelerate brand awareness.
