Greeting Card Distributor Franchisor In Rawtenstall Lancashire For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this greeting card publisher, distributor and franchisor business, which was established in 1997 and which has been in our client's careful hands since 2000. Dorber Collection 2000 currently has 12 franchises, with a 13th in progress. The franchisees pay a one-off-fee of £9,995 for the franchise and then purchase stock from our client and receive support and training in return. There are no further charges and no requirement to supply reports or accounts to the franchisor. The franchise business supplies greeting cards to retail businesses such as newsagents and convenience stores and will get support setting up the first 25 retail accounts. The business has excellent gross profit margins of 60% per card and has an enviable reputation and is well-known in the industry. There is huge scope to increase turnover from recruiting more franchises as there are a number of areas the business does not trade in. There is an excellent website in place advertising the business to potential franchisees. Our client is willing to assist in a handover period. This is an ideal opportunity to own an innovative business with unlimited scope for future growth. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
