Import Export Sales & Repairs Motorcycles Business For Sale

Business description

Advent Business Sales are pleased to offer to the market this extremely well established and highly reputable business.

The business has been trading successfully for over three decades, with the current vendor at the helm since the start.
The owner has reluctantly decided to sell due to plans to retire as his fellow director has already retired.

The going concern specialises in the import and export of high specification Italian motorcycles.

Our client has achieved an enviable reputation, not only in the British Isles but is well known internationally and can possibly arguably boast that he is the largest dealer world wide.

The business stocks high premium quality Italian motorcycles with an extensive range of spares and parts of which some are manufactured on site.

Customers wanting to purchase such products are enthused at the size and magnitude on which this business operates. The global reputation is clearly warranted.
To compliment the business, a fully operational showroom and workshop equipped to a high specification is available.

The workshop itself has an approved testing centre and carries out vehicle, mechanical and body repairs.

The business is fully equipped for purpose. A brief inventory includes:
• A new compressor
• 2 x hydraulic work benches
• High specification lathe
• Milling machine
• Pillar drill
• Electronic diagnostic servicing
• Fault finding and tuning equipment
• Factory workshop tools
• Engine cleaning bay
• Ultrasonic cleaner
• 5 BHP metal polishing equipment
• Steam cleaner
• Overhead exhaust extraction
• MOT testing bay with ramps
• Computers with computerised invoicing
• Vauxhall van with ramp converted to hold and transport motorcycles
The vendors inform us that they receive in the region of 150 hits a day through their web site, which offers extensive information and is constructed to a high standard.

Stock at retail value is in excess of £700,000, indicated trade value at approx £400,000

A like minded person with an abundance of energy and drive could progress this truly niche and unrivalled business further.

Clearly the profit margins are within the international market, therefore, further optimisation of the existing web site would be a great advantage for the business
