Fabrics And Bedlinen Retailer In Norfolk For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this popular soft furnishings, bedding and curtains business, which was established in 1985 and has been in our clients' careful hands since 2004. The business is only now being placed on the market due to our clients' wish to retire. The business generates a turnover in the region of £312,000 per annum with a gross profit of 43% derived from the sale of curtains, nets, bedding, and soft furnishings along with wallpapers, haberdashery and lighting, at discount prices. A new owner could increase turnover by perhaps, employing someone to carry out alterations and manufacture, which is currently outsourced. There is also potential to introduce a website to promote the business. The business occupies a spacious and well maintained property in a prime location and benefits from an enviable reputation and much repeat trade. We are advised that a new advanced security system has been installed which can be controlled and monitored via the internet from anywhere in the world. We feel this represents an ideal opportunity to acquire a thriving and profitable business with scope for future growth. Early discussions with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
