Business description
This business was established four years ago by the present director who founded the operation based on a high level of personal skill, knowledge and ability in this specialist market sector. The business has grown year on year since and the company now operates across the length and breadth of the UK.
It specialises in the installation of Cat 5 , Cat 6 and Fibre Optic data cabling for the communications and telephony industry.
There is also a small but efficient electrical division that operates alongside the core business and picks up contract work spinning off from the cabling operation.

Location
The business is presently located in Scotland but could easily be relocated to anywhere in the UK due to the nature of its ongoing provision of National Coverage.
The business presently operates from leasehold premises. These are based on a small industrial park and cover a total of 72 square meters. They are well positioned adjacent to a major trunk road and consist of three offices, a kitchen and a storeroom. The lease is at a figure of £700 per month and is conveniently arranged on a month-by-month basis with the landlord.

Competition / Market
The business would benefit from a structured Sales and Marketing strategy. Regular contacts with firms of Architects, Builders, refit contractors would create additional quotation opportunities. Consistent research and monitoring of all newly awarded building contracts and planning applications would be beneficial and a fully optimised web site could only help drive this concern to new heights.

Reasons for selling
The managing director remains totally committed to the business and, if required, would be perfectly willing to remain with the operation either as a full time employee or for a fixed term contract to ensure a seamless handover. He does realize that a new management team and further investment would benefit the company in the long term and wishes to relieve himself of some of the time consuming responsibilities that presently prevent him from spending quality time with his young family.
