Blind And Curtain Retailer In Preston Lancashire For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this window blind and curtain retail business, which was established by our clients in 2008 and which is only now being placed on the market due to our clients' wish to retire. Window Blinds By La Femme operates 7 days a week and generates a turnover in the region of £76,000 per annum with a gross profit of 50%, derived from the sale of a range of made-to-measure curtains and blinds with brands including Louvolite, Eclipse and Decora. Our clients make home visits to measure up and offer a turnaround of approximately one week. The business is run by our clients without any additional staff and benefits from an excellent reputation and much repeat trade. There is a quality web site in place promoting the range of products available and contact details. A new owner could increase turnover by embarking on a modest marketing campaign and perhaps by increasing the range of products available. A 2007 sign-written Citroen Berlingo van is available by separate negotiation. We feel this is an ideal opportunity to acquire a popular and well established business with scope for future growth. Early discussions with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
