Property information

Location:

The premises occupy a prominent location in a rural market town in the North West. There are a total of six offices in the building and ample parking is immediately available. A lease would be available on the building for circa £850:00 per month for a period to be agreed as part of the sale process.

Other information

Expansion potential:

There is no real competition for this company and as such it is the leading business in its field in the region. It has around three months work forward planned at any one time and that is only restricted by its present staffing levels. The owners feel that they have grown it to a point whereby it now needs to be taken to the next level in its growth curve and they would like to move on to new challenges.
The business doesn’t have a sales force and doesn’t even target its own customers to maximise potential.

Support & training:

There will be a full and professional handover for a period to be agreed between the vendors and the new owner.
