| Potential
Growth/Expansion:
Turnover is currently in excess of £300,000 per month. There is terrific potential to expand. Other than a very rare direct mail campaign, the business has not gone down the road of any sustained sales or marketing. With a more pro-active approach, coupled with the fact that the current premises provide opportunity to increase stock levels there is a significant opportunity here for expansion. |

|
| Competition:
The business has achieved its high sales figures, despite the fact that marketing has been more or less non-existent. Apart from the occasional direct mail campaign, there has been no spend on advertising. A proper marketing strategy would undoubtedly reap significant rewards. |
