Other information

Expansion potential:

With the industry in general showing strong growth potential, satisfying the ongoing demand for competitive, high quality solutions with a rapid turnaround provides an excellent opportunity for this business and those with vision and customer focus. Business operations are not at maximum capacity and there remains considerable scope for an increase in production, turnover and profit simply by gearing operations in line with current market demand.
The business is perfectly poised for expansion of its distribution network into Europe. Additionally, as the entire product range can be supplied in component part form, a massive opportunity exists for the appointment of a USA based assembly operation, thus creating the perfect launch pad for an “assembled in the USA” marketing drive into this enormous and relatively untapped market. The same is true of Australia and New Zealand and almost every other country with a strong agricultural heritage.

The company’s product range whilst described herein as an agricultural based product has in fact strong demand within numerous other commercial sectors, which provides the company with the opportunity to export on a truly global basis.

Competition / Market:

The business has formed a stable marketing base with its network of distributors which offers a vast opportunity for expansion. The business undertakes minimal advertising and generates most new business from trade awareness and the finest form of marketing, word of mouth recommendation. The Vendors acknowledge that a more pro-active approach to marketing would substantially increase the turnover of the company in the UK alone.

Support & training:

Support and training will be provided for a period of time to be specified at the time of sale and thereafter the Vendor may be prepared, if required, to offer an ongoing consultancy service.

Reasons for selling:

The Vendor started this company from scratch, and it now celebrates an established and loyal customer base, with tremendous opportunities for substantial further expansion. He now considers that the time is right for a purchaser to bring this business up to its next operating level.
