Expansion potential
Although our client clearly has a successful and profitable business, it still offers excellent scope to increase sales and profits substantially by: 1. Opening on Saturday and Sundays – Due to our clients religious beliefs, he does not open on either of these days 2. Having a dedicated website - this could increase awareness and sales substantially 3. Offering commercial equipment sales in addition to the current domestic sales – this would open up a whole new market 4. Having arrangements with local letting agents, landlords and housing associations to offer both repairs and sales 5. Offering finance- in particular with commercial sales.
