Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this busy printers which has been in our clients' careful hands since 1976. The shop is only now offered to the market due to our clients' wish to retire. The business trades 6 days a week and generates a turnover in the region of £154,000 per annum with a gross profit of 63%. As well as providing copying and print finishing services, such as folding, drilling, stitching and stapling, the business offers general and wedding stationery. We feel the turnover could be further increased by embarking on a modest marketing campaign and perhaps by employing sales reps. There is also scope for full in house colour printing, as this is currently outsourced, and would increase the turnover.
