Secure appraisals With a history as a pioneer of secure digital portals for appraisals, there is potential to offer enhanced secure transmission, cloud-based valuation workflows, and data protection services to antique dealers, auction houses, and insurance clients seeking trusted digital collaboration.

Niche care Finisher’s Formula and Finisher’s Touch non-toxic furniture care products create a channel for partnerships with restoration shops, museums, and high-end retailers seeking premium, safe maintenance lines or private-label opportunities aligned with heritage restoration.
