Business History

Meridian Business Sales take great delight in offering to the market this well known, well regarded and highly regarded business that was established some 40 years ago and has been in our clients careful ownership throughout. This fantastic opportunity has only arisen due to our clients well deserved impending retirement. Our client wishes to offer the business on a leasehold basis with full terms and conditions to be negotiated.

This is possible one of the best angling retail units we have inspected in a long number of years. It is exceptionally well stocked and is a real 'Aladdin's Cave' with equipment to suit all forms of fishing activities and budgets. The business is run on a very low key basis and at a pace that suits the current owner which is reflected in an annual turnover of £50,000 per annum, which we feel, could easily be doubled with a more aggressive & pro active approach to marketing activities.

Our client currently relies on a loyal customer base with a majority of repeat business. This includes customers from throughout the UK and overseas which has been created through our client's website.

An ideal business we feel for any purchaser looking for a business within this market sector whom with the energy and vision could take this business to its next level of success. We strongly recommend early viewing of this concern as it has been priced to facilitate a quick sale. Our client has indicated due to the high levels of stock he is prepared to negotiate terms of purchase.
