Business description
We are a successful commercial soft landscape and garden design and build contractor established for 20 years. We have many long term commercial developer clients with several contracts worth over £130,000 included in the sale. The garden side attracts new business from existing advertisements, previous clients and recommendations.

We have vehicles, machinery and equipment available if required and leased office, sheds and substantial outdoor storage space is also available for rent.

The commercial side covers Herts, N London and North Homes Counties. The garden side generally covers Herts only.

We would be prepared to sell either side of the business separately.

We are moving out of the area and buying a garden centre hence the sale.

Years established: 19 years, 7 months

Employees: PAYE 6, sub contract 2

Trading hours: 7.30am-4.30pm , M-F

Home based: This business can be run from home.

Relocatable: This business can be relocated.

Property: Leasehold

Lease terms
1 month rent deposit, rent payable month in advance, 1 months notice

Location
The business is located at a wholesale nursery owned by the vendor

Expansion potential
Both sides have potential. Commercially, the market is picking up and the development sites offer great opportunities to landscape rear gardens, sales centres, maintenance etc. The niche garden design and build market is still relatively strong and greater advertising and the yard space available (for separate rent ) provide opportunities for expansion.

Competition / Market
We are on the tender lists for several small to medium sized developers and with a select few, obtain all work by negiotation. There are many landscapers in the locality but our strong brand and reputation ensures we are always busy

Support & training
I am prepared to offer advice and consultancy on management or garden design etc

Reasons for selling
Moving away from area to buy a garden centre
