We are pleased to have been instructed to offer to the market this very well established courier business with good future potential.

The business, which was founded by our client over 14 years ago, is only now being reluctantly offered for sale, as he wishes to retire abroad.

The business has three service levels:
Level 1 is a same day courier delivery throughout the UK.
Level 2 is for non-urgent items, which is normally a delivery within 48 or 72 hours.
Level 3 offers a delivery service to Europe and Ireland and can carry anything from a single envelope to a pallet up to a maximum load of 900 kilos

Larger loads can be accommodated but are normally sub-contracted.

Our client has an excellent local reputation for service and reliability with most new customers coming from ‘word of mouth’ referrals from existing satisfied clients.

Most clients with whom our client trades on a regular basis are situated within an approximate 30 mile radius of our client’s home in Berkshire, with most jobs charged at an agreed cost prior to delivery.

The business deliveries are made using a Vauxhall Movano short wheel base van which has an ‘03’ plate. Sales in the year to March 2010 were £32,016 and as overheads are kept low the business achieves a satisfactory net profit.

The vendor works alone in the business, receiving part-time help from his wife in relation to completing paperwork.

DISCLAIMER: Viewing is essential to fully appreciate this business and strictly by appointment only through the agents. N/B: All Negotiations must be conducted through broker. These details do not constitute part of an offer or contract and properties are offered subject to being sold, let or withdrawn without notice at any time and without liability for any expenses incurred by applicants. All statements and descriptions are made without responsibility or warranty by us, vendors or lessors. Intending purchasers must check for themselves (Misrepresentation Act 1967).


Location:
The business is currently operating from the business owner’s home in an affluent area of Berkshire. The business is therefore fully re-locatable.
Premises details:
Our client currently operates from his home, as a result of which the business is fully re-locatable

Expansion potential:
Our client believes further sales and profits could be achieved by:
1. Having a larger van, as presently circa 20% of his work is sub-contracted given that his own van is not big enough
2. Advertising and leaflet dropping around many of the local businesses
3. Business being ‘bolted on’ to another courier business, as this would increase profits, purely through eradication of duplicated overheads.
Trading hours:
As required by the customer
