Online Catering Equipment Supplies Business For Sale

Business description

Without further purchase of stock, you can earn £150,000 in your first year of trading.

Set up by Self Trading Ltd, ClearanceCateringSupplies.co.uk was created from a large consignment of catering equipment and has been running for a period of 6 months. The business consists at present of an e-commerce website, an e-Bay store and approximately £200,000 of stock as of today’s date, with all products listed.

This business would suit an entrepreneur, someone already in the industry supplying catering equipment or food who is looking for a quick expansion, in addition to someone who wants to take on a new and exciting recession proof business.

Financials

This business is generating an income of in the region of £5,000 per week with all stock throughout the whole consignment selling well.

Example:

If in your first year, you continue with this success and maintain an income of £5,000 a week, this will generate an income of approximately £250,000 a year. Taking into consideration:

Cost of stock to raise (in the region of 10%) = £25,000
Cost of storage = £10,000
Salary of 2 employees or you as a team = £40,000
Cost of postage (at 20%) = £50,000
Miscellaneous = £5,000
VAT = £50,000

Leaves you with a net profit of in the region £70,000 per year with employees or £110,000 if you run it as a team, which is a healthy and highly achievable outcome.
