Business description

Advent Business Sales are pleased to offer to the market this established bespoke florist shop, which has bee trading successfully for the past 3 years.

The current vendor has been in constant ownership since its inception and is reluctantly selling due to the commitment of a young family.

The business has seen steady growth and is well attended by its customer base. The customers are mainly local but also come from the surrounding villages in preference to driving to a larger town with the ensuing parking restrictions.

The business is gradually adding to its corporate clients and now supplies up to a 20 mile radius.

Naturally it is called upon to supply floral tributes and decoration for both funerals and weddings.

The shop is advertised on Yell.com as well as ‘Business over Breakfast’, an associated networking group and also loyalty cards available through the local Tesco.

The shop offers a selection of cut flowers as well as pot plants and hand picked vases in various materials

The shop has a cool level of sophistication, is beautifully presented, offers an atmosphere free of clutter, allowing the customer time to contemplate their purchases.

The display equipment and shelving are executed to the best levels so that they do not detract from the items on offer.

Car parking in the street is excellent.

We are advised that stock at cost is approximately £5 - £6,000.

The business is staffed by the owner full time together with 1 part time employee.
