Key Strengths:

Suppliers include Vodafone, Orange, 3, T Mobile, O2, Virgin and Carphone Warehouse.
It is the strength of the deals that this website provides that gives it a real edge in this market.

Expansion potential
The current market for this business is growing and is forecast to continue to grow significantly in both the medium and long terms by the emergence of new technologies.
Business operations are not yet at maximum capacity, and there is considerable scope to increase both revenues and profits by gearing operations in line with current and forecast market demands.
A huge opportunity exists to develop the future earning potential of the website itself. Because of the amount of traffic the website enjoys (500,000 p.a.) there are many additional revenue streams available to the new owner including further development of its advertising potential.
Competition / Market
