Music And Instrument Sales And Repair In Inverness For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this well-renowned musical instrument retail and repair business, which was established by our client in 1981 and which is only now being placed on the market due to our client's wish to retire. The Music Station generates a turnover in the region of £650,000 per annum with a gross profit of 36%, derived from the sale and repair of a wide variety of musical instruments, including guitars, drums, violins, pianos and keyboards, banjos, mandolins and harmonicas, as well as sheet music and hi fi equipment. Our client stocks brands such as Fender, Martin, Ibanez, Takamine, Tama, Yamaha, Sabian, Teak, Sone, Bose and Marantz. There is scope for a new owner to increase turnover by perhaps introducing a hire service for music equipment, PA systems and lighting, adding tuition and perhaps developing the website to offer e-commerce facilities. The business boasts a large and loyal customer base and highly trained experienced staff. We feel this represents a rare opportunity to acquire a specialist business with scope for future growth. Early discussions with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
