Well Established Supplier To Sandwich Shops And Cafes For Sale

Business description

The business supplies goods wholesale to Sandwich Shops and Cafes in the Rotherham, Barnsley, Sheffield and Chesterfield areas.

This is an unusual business in that it is easy to operate, could be relocated with almost no effort and is always in a positive cash flow situation.

85 Customers purchase every week offering the new owner both established and proven sales. There is scope to add a second vehicle to the business within the current areas, should the new owners wish to do so. The business is currently very profitable without further expansion.

The business sells the main products needed by Sandwich Shops to run their business. All offered in catering pack sizes, they sell a range of different products in three main categories. There is a more detailed list of products at the bottom of the page:

Food
Packaging and Disposable Products
Fresh Salad

The business offers all types of produce with an emphasis on quality goods at reasonable rates. With customers mainly having two deliveries a week, and with a flexible and responsive approach offered to customers when they order, the customers are confident in having good quality stock on hand every day to handle their changing daily trade requirements.

The business is a streamlined operation, with the new owner handling all the day-to-day management and operation of the business. This means the business is easily re-locatable and primed for handover to a new owner.

AT A GLANCE

Weekly Sales of £7,000 producing Weekly Gross Profits of £1,400, leaving £1,000 per week for the owner. The customers are established and loyal, giving the new owner confidence in future earnings.

The business is owner operated, so you keep all the profits. There is enough profit to hire a delivery driver should the new owner wish to do so.

Cash on delivery business so no issues with cash flow and bad debts. The products are delivered and paid for at the time of delivery.

The business has only one supplier, so just one delivery a week is needed by you to purchase all the goods you need to supply all your customers for the week. Perfect for an owner operated business, as it means that you can concentrate on your customers and not your suppliers.

Fully re-locatable and can be based wherever suits the new owner. The business can be operated from a home office with off-site storage facilities, or with the office and storage together. The current owner has complete flexibility to locate the business wherever the new owner chooses.

The business is operated with a computerised system which is set up and very easy to operate. The computer, business software, printer and general office stationary are included in the sale, along with a delivery van, which currently handles all the deliveries. It is a dual compartment Mercedes Sprinter MWB. Half of the van is set up for frozen stock, with the other half set up for chilled stock. There is a walk in fridge and a walk in freezer located at the business premises, along with other general light industrial items necessary to operate the business.

The current owner is prepared to offer full training and support, both before and after the sale.
