Computer Sales Servicing And Repairs Business In Hertfordshire For Sale

Business description

We are delighted to offer for sale this established computer sales and repair business.

The company was acquired by our client back in 2002, and during his period of ownership, the business has enjoyed a significant expansion. It is now being sold, as the vendor is looking to pursue alternative business interests in the south.

The business offers a very personal and bespoke service to its established customer base. This involves building new PCs and laptops to customer specifications, along with ongoing maintenance and repairs as required. This can involve work undertaken in the shop, but many visits are undertaken to customers’ home or business premises.

Around 75% of the work is undertaken for private individuals, with the remainder being made up of work from small businesses locally.

In addition to this core business activity, there is a retail element which contributes sales of around £4K per month.

Competition locally is extremely limited, with only one similar business in the town operating at a much more modest level.

The business also benefits from a website.

Various PCs are included within the consideration price.

The business participates in the Trust A Trader scheme and enjoys excellent reviews on line.

The business is run by the vendor, supported by one full time technician and 2 part time staff.

We are advised that the stock holding is around £4K and the vendor would be happy to assist the new buyer with a handover should this be required.
