Business description
We have been instructed to offer for sale this well established business with excellent potential for growth.

Established since 1997 it is now reluctantly offered for sale due to the vendor’s immediate plans to retire.

The business is currently staffed by the owners, a husband and wife partnership as well as one other part time member of staff.

Our client specialises in tropical and cold water fish as well as reptiles. To complement this a range of feed, bedding and treatments are also offered for sale.

The business has customers who come as far away as Hull but the majority of customers are from a 20 to 30 miles radius.

The business has experienced increasing sales over the years and the trend is continuing.

The business is run at its current level with minimal advertising and operates from a spacious two floored premises with extremely competitive rent and rates.

The premises are set into 4 main areas. The first area houses the fish. The second room is the tank room. The third is the lizard and reptile room. The upper floor is used for storage and some breeding.

The premises have recently been extensively refurbished to a high standard, in particular the reptile room. There is also an improvement grant available.

Current stock at valuation is estimated at around £15,000.
