Truck And Bus Parts Wholesaler For Sale

Business description

Advent Business Sales are pleased to offer to the market this extremely well established truck and bus parts wholesaler, which has been trading successfully since 1979.

The current vendor has been in constant ownership and is reluctantly selling due to retirement plans.

The business supplies parts such as steering, suspension and lighting to customers supplying truck and bus manufacturers and repair garages.

Many of the products offered are exclusively produced for the company, giving a better return of profits.

The company has a UK customer data base of over 350, most of which order either by fax or telephone.

As well as the UK, the company has a thriving export business to 9 different countries.

One of the companies main selling tools is their website, which is regularly upgraded with products. It is at present being reviewed and regularly adds 150 to 200 new parts per year.
Part suppliers are usually either based in Portugal, Italy, Turkey or Germany as well as the UK.

As more and more companies feel the pinch of a recessive economy, the care and maintenance of their lorry and bus fleets and extension of their working life, grows in importance as opposed to buying new replacement vehicles. Because of this and also careful selection of products on offer, the company has seen an ever increasing turnover, a fact that the directors have capitalised on. Recent accounts show turnover above projected figures, proving the company’s viability.

We are advised that stock at cost is approximately £200,000.
The owner has informed us that the is the option to purchase the freehold.

An Energy Performance Certificate will be made available upon request of further details where one is required for the business premises.
