Business description
Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this well established furniture retailer that has built up an excellent reputation in the last 5½ years.

The business operates as part of a franchise with the other 3 branches and pays a franchise fee of £500pcm for marketing. The franchise can be terminated with 3 months notice and no penalties. The benefits of the franchise are infinite as not only does it spread the cost of marketing but also gives the group combined purchasing power, allowing for higher profit margins. This is a unique opportunity to purchase a well-established business, offering infinite scope for the future. Early discussions with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
