Business description
Advent Business Sales is pleased to offer to
the market this well established aquarium
and pond Supplies Company, which has been
in our clients hand for the last two years.
The owners are reluctantly selling due to
major health problems with one of the
partners.
Within a good radius of influence, this
company is monopolistic in what it offers.
The business gives a complete service from
discussion of pond size and requirement, to
survey, quote, execution of job, stocking of
pond and maintenance.
The key product is Koi Carp. The company
has many of these displayed for sale at
varying stages of life and size, also water
pumps and UVC purifiers, filters, algae
clearance products, foods, health
preparations and much more but all related
to the beautiful Koi Carp.
The company has a successful eBay shop and
advertises in local papers and Koi Carp
magazines.
Reliable sub contractors under the owner’s
supervision carry out heavy work.
Stock at cost is approximately £6,000 for dry
goods and £9,000 for live fish.

Living accomodation
Located in a large ‘barn’ with a doorway off centre, to the rear of the building are seven very large fish holding tanks, to the right two extra large holding tanks for the bigger fish. These are all hooked up to a top of the range pump and filtration system. Just inside the doorway is a desk and till with sales shelving down two sides. Excellent car parking outside the business main doors.

Location
Our client is conveniently located in a very upmarket area north of the city of Birmingham on a very
busy main road in clear view, on a roadside ‘farm’ business surrounded by other complimentary
companies.
Its positioning is very crucial for its customer base, who, generally occupy the larger ‘well off’
properties in the area.
A lot of new business is generated by word of mouth. Parking is excellent and is one of many
positive features of its location.



Expansion potential
Turnover is forever increasing due to the high standards executed by the present owners.

Financing available
