Outdoor Hog Roast Catering Business
Confidentially offered for sale
Ref No: CH120

Established in 2007, this professional hog roasting business was set up when the vendor noticed a gap in the market for this type of outdoor catering company.

The catering company supplies a range of service options from simple hog roast, which compliments other catering firms on-site, to a full service. This full service includes staff, additional foods plus full sets of crockery and cutlery. The flexibility and range of services offered by the business appeals to all budgets and sizes of events. Customers hiring the business include those organising private functions such as weddings, birthday parties, anniversaries as well as corporate clients looking for something unique for their discerning clientele. Prices range form £950 to around £5,000 depending on requirements.

| Potential
Growth/Expansion:
This business is very well placed for further growth, and this is one of the key reasons the vendor is now looking to hand the business over to new ownership. Currently the business re-directs enquires to other small businesses in the sector which are capable of providing a similar service when they are booked at capacity. The vendor has already considered making these relationship more formal or utilising one of them for an initial trial franchise model. Obviously there are also opportunities to increase revenue by expanding the assets and team of staff to handle a higher level of enquires both from the local region and further a field. |

|
| Competition:
Initially the business took advertising positions in local press and lifestyle / bride magazines. This has now been wholly replaced with the on-line marketing mix. The vendor of the business spent considerable time and effort with a Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) specialist to enhance my organic listing on Google and other search engines. As such the company website enjoys high natural search engine rankings which is supported with an advertising spend of around £1,000 per month on Google ‘Ad-words’. The business receives very high levels of enquires from recommendation and referral. |
