Business description
Turner Butler are delighted to be appointed as sole selling agents for this exciting business opportunity which has never been brought to the market for sale before.

This rather unique and interesting opportunity will appeal to a wide range of investor/ entrepreneurs due to its longevity as a trading entity (150+years), the fact that it is fully relocatable to anywhere of the new owners choosing – including being home based, and its attractive pricing - chosen to encourage a smooth uncomplicated sale.

This family owned and run business has been providing its service in varying forms for a very long time, but the time has now come for the current owners to take a well earned retirement and allow new owners with fresh energy to take over the reins.

The business specializes in the supply of quality agricultural, construction, farm and equestrian scale models to an existing customer base who they have supplied on multiple occasions in many cases, quite apart from the new customers who increase and swell their database every year.

The company is renowned for their ability to supply these quality detailed scale models from virtually all of the major world brands. These major brands include:-

• Breyer
• Britains
• Bruder
• Norscot
• Joal
• Siku
• Schleich
• Universal Hobbies
• Brushwood
• Thomas the Tank Engine

This business would suit an investor perhaps looking for a home based business that can produce a good revenue stream without costly overheads. The business is quite seasonal, with October through to December being the traditional busy period for the year, and traditionally this has been a period when other members of the family have been helping Father and Mother to cope with the demand, which normally is amply coped with by them alone. We understand business levels to be over 3000 transactions per annum.

Another benefit of this package is that, apart from the usual minimal period of handover to a new owner, the owner has expressed a willingness to consider an extended period of support (by separate negotiation) if required by the new owner, thus allowing a seamless transition between ownerships for both customers and suppliers.

Customer Service:

Trading as it has for such an incredibly long time, the business has obviously developed a tremendous reputation for customer service at all levels.

Financial Information:

The business is being offered for sale on a going concern basis, all financial discussions will take place directly between the vendor and all interested parties under the auspices of Turner Butler.

Relocatable: This business can be relocated.

Property: Leasehold
