Photography Studio Established 8 Years For Sale

Business description

Advent Business Sales are pleased to offer to the market this well established photography studio, which has been trading successfully for the past 8 years.

The current vendor has been in constant ownership since its inception and is reluctantly selling due to other business activities and family commitments. Due to these pressures he has asked us to market the business at £13,000 below valuation for a quick sale.

Although many of the studio’s customers are local, some come from a 5 mile radius and further, this tends to be because of the excellent exposure given by the main road.

The studio has 2 studio rooms, one a typical fully controlled lighting room with positive or negative background, the other a daylight studio with additional lighting and several alternative backgrounds from modern mural fabric patterns to plain colour.

There is a discussion area separated off from the main reception area and a viewing room to give clients full privacy.

A portfolio of past work is available as reference pints for client discussion.

The lay out, ambience, fixtures and fittings are excellent; the reception and discussion areas are inviting and well thought out. The 2 photographic studios are on the first floor, giving customers privacy.

The business occasionally advertises in the local press and also children’s magazines such as ‘rearing to go’ and ‘primary times’. It is felt that some form of town centre marketing would be of advantage, as would individual approaches to local industry and schools etc.

One full time and 2 part time employees staff the business.

We are advised that stock at cost is approximately £500.00.
