Other information

Expansion potential:

There are no local competitors and the kennels and cattery operate close to maximum occupancy for much of the year suggesting good reason to increase capacity and with a 3.7 acre plot, there is no shortage of space! The Vendor has recently decided to no longer accept orders for pet exports. He has created a professional workshop for the construction of the shipment cages to export-grade standard. This lucrative activity generated approximately £35,000 turnover in the year ended 31 March 2007 and could be easily re-introduced by an enthusiastic new owner.

Competition / Market:

The only local competitor closed down in January 2007 selling their plot for residential development. A large number of clients moved their pets to this business as a result.

Reasons for selling:

Retirement

Financing available:

Adams & Co would be pleased to introduce the Purchaser to the local Commercial Managers at NatWest and HSBC who have expressed interest in funding this opportunity.

Inventory / Stock value:
