Coach And Mini Bus Hire Business In Cumbria For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this popular coach and mini bus hire business, which was established by our client in 1961 and which is only now being placed on the market due to our client's wish to retire. The business operates 7 vehicles and generates a turnover in the region of £275,500 per annum with a gross profit of 56.7% derived from various contracts, private hire and tours. We feel a new owner could increase turnover by perhaps embarking on a modest advertising campaign to promote awareness of their services to more outlying areas. The business benefits from its own workshop and the vehicles are maintained to a high standard. Our client has developed an enviable reputation over the years and benefits from much repeat trade. We feel this is an ideal opportunity to acquire a long-established coach and mini bus hire business with scope for future growth. Early discussions, in confidence, with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
