Expansion potential:

With a steady increase in the building market, and continuous demand for quality products at reasonable prices, the business is well placed to expand into the market offering full products and services. A new owner could develop a new management structure and contribute fresh ideas and outside influence to build on this excellent base. The business offers huge potential for expansion, and scope to employ more staff with such demand that the business could easily be double the current size.

Competition / Market:

• Over 60% of new orders are repeat business from previous customers and from referrals • Long standing relationships with associated businesses, i.e. conservatory companies/otherblind companies, produce a further large percentage of sales enquiries • Advertising and marketing Conversion rate of sales enquiries to orders is very high and again well above the industry average, mainly due to quality leads from previous customers/referrals. A huge potential increase in sales leads could be generated by contacting the customer base established in 16 years of trading. • The business has used limited advertising in the past and an immense opportunity exists to build on this business’s reputation and implement further and more assertive methods of advertising to expose the business to even greater markets. Various methods could be used in this regard, including the local press, trade shows, leaflets & brochures and the Internet.

Reasons for selling:

After many years of happy trading the vendor now wishes to put his energy into retirement.
