| Potential
Growth/Expansion:
The business has enjoyed steady trading over its lifetime and this is expected to continue in light of its growing and loyal customer base. The business, while profitable and successful, has been run in more recent times in line with the vendors’ personal wishes and by their own admission the clearest opportunity to grow the business would be by simply agreeing to the level of demand that the company enjoys; by also extendin geographic reach and by taking a more vigorous attitude to contemporary marketing techniques.
Most of the buisness’ work is within a radius of 200 miles of the premises (circa 90%) and this could easily be extended in line with demand to grow the business quiterapidly.
The business does very little advertising or social media & internet based arketing and could certainly expand this activity with a more proactive approach. The business is well positioned to take maximum advantage of this growth as it occurs as it has the necessary infrastructure in place. |
