| Potential
Growth/Expansion:
The owner suggests that further internet advertising would certainly increase sales revenues, as would a true strategic database development programme. The business has literally thousands of clients, many of whom have multiple sites and additional opportunities ripe for expansion. There is no reason why a new owner could not expand the geographical coverage of the business to further develop existing regional and national accounts and to do more direct deliveries. |

|
| Competition:
The business has a highly informative suite of marketing information including a very impressive interactive website which enables online transactions, an E-Bay classified site as well as both annual and quarterly catalogue publications which it sends out to customers with their orders. The business also advertises within the yellow pages, both hard copy and online. |
