Business Summary:
Electrical Distributor - Supplying Wholesalers, Trade & Retail Marketplace Ref.AD028 Location Fylde Coast,Blackpool Asking Price Ł225,000 This substantial and stable business was founded by the current vendors some 25 years ago and during this time it has established itself as a key supplier to the electrical marketplace in the region, enjoying good growth year on year. The business has developed a good range of in-demand products and enjoys some regional exclusivity with key suppliers for items such as lighting and electrical sockets and fittings. The company currently has 3 ways to serve the market. It started life as a traditional electrical distributor supplying electrical wholesalers in the region with products. This is still a core part of the business but the company has also developed two separate trade/retail sites which complement this perfectly. Together these two areas generate some 66% of current revenues. This side of the business has a broad range of regular clients including tradesmen, contractors, commercial businesses( hotels, restaurants, shops etc) both locally and regionally as well as the general public. The remaining 33% of revenues currently come via e-commerce. The business developed an interactive website some 8 years ago and supplies a whole host of retail customers both within the UK and abroad. The website is very impressive and secure and the business also enjoys “Top Rated Seller” status on E-Bay such is its commitment to quality and service.

Number of Employees: 3FT/1PT

Facilities / Terms of Lease: The business operates from two well suited retail premises ideally situated with good accessibility on busy routes. Site 1 is freehold. Freehold valuation is circa Ł225,000. The freehold is currently NOT included within the sales price but the vendor would be happy to sell it if a new owner so required, subject to negotiation . The retail unit is ideally located on a parade of shops on a main route in a built up area. The site comprises ground floor shop, kitchen and toilets with additional storage unit to the rear (total circa 1150 square feet).

Potential Growth/Expansion: The current market for this business is growing and is forecast in the near and longer term for significant growth. Technology is always changing and this business is well positioned to take maximum advantage of this growth and new opportunities as they occur. There remains considerable scope for an increase in operations, turnover and profit simply by putting in place a long term sales and marketing strategy.

Competition: The business has undertaken very little in the form of traditional marketing over the years preferring to rely on referrals, repeat business and word of mouth recommendations to generate revenues. In saying that it does utilise some sponsored links on the internet to help promote its website and also sends out a newsletter and various flyers with all internet orders.

Owner willing to train: Full support and training will be provided to the successful purchaser. The vendors would also be prepared to stay on for a extended period, subject to negotiation, if so required.
