| Potential
Growth/Expansion:
Turnover could be improved again with increased advertising and enthusiasm, the vendor has currently stopped advertising due to his health.
This is an outstanding opportunity to develop on a solid foundation and to build on the existing business levels and customer base of this company, with potential to develop new customer lines. The market outlook is good and the business could easily accommodate further growth.
With a strong demand for this business’s products, combined with a capacity to increase turnover, a new owner contributing fresh ideas will have every advantage of building on an excellent platform. |

The business is recognised for its expertise within its relevant fields of operation, and therefore most of its work comes via word of mouth. The company delivers what it promises. The business has a website which gives full details of the products on offer. Further opportunities for advertising include updating the company brochure, leaflets, flyers and direct mail campaign, all of which would be a valuable asset in improving turnover. |
