Franchise terms
Although GreyMatter is listed under the "Franchise" keyword - consider GreyMatter as a unique business. People often buy a consultancy franchise - but I think this is a much better deal at a reasonable price.

Business description
GreyMatter is a management consultancy business with a reputation for being one of the most professional service providers in South Wales. The company has grown every year since its formation in 2005 and has built a sustainable client base that includes government and private contracts.

If you are looking to move into consultancy or want to expand your operation into South Wales - this is a great opportunity.

- GreyMatter has a strong brand - well established and recognised among potential clients.

- I have an active client base of around 60 organisations generating repeat business.

- With trademarked products that cannot be copied - so you have a unique selling proposition.

- The company hasover 700 contacts on the database.

- Three interactive websites, knowledge based so that potential clients visit them often

- We offer a broad range of services - each one capable of further expansion.

- The business can be run from your home office - running costs are low - profits are high.

I'm selling this business because I've started a partnership consultancy with two colleagues, but I don't want to lose all the goodwill I have built and invested in GreyMatter - so I want to hand it over to the right person who can hit the ground running with an off-the-shelf, ready made consultancy.

Working on your own, you will generate sales of around £4,000 per month.

If you work with associates (I can help you find these) each one will earn you an extra £1,000 per month net sales.

It's up to you how far you want to grow this business. There is great potential to grow even further.

As part of the contract, I can help you become established as the new owner of GreyMatter - I can train you how to use the various business models, tools and techniques, and introduce you to clients as appropriate if you wish.

Years established: 5

Employees: 1

Home based: This business can be run from home.

Relocatable: This business can be relocated.

Location
GreyMatter can be located anywhere. Up to now the focus has been on providing general business advice for organisations in South Wales.

Most of the clients are within one-hour's drive of Cardiff - If you are happy to travel further, Birmingham, Bristol and Swindon are within easy reach.

Expansion potential
GreyMatter is a lifestyle business, without any employees so it can be sized to fit whatever expansion potential you need. With one person you have potential to earn more than £4,000 per month. If you want to expand you can either: 1. Recruit people to work for you. Recruit an admin person to leave you free to focus on marketing and operations or 2. Use associates. They will usually charge £200 to 300 per day, but you can charge the client £500 to £800 per day to cover this and make a contribution to profit. The potential for expansion is limitless - there is plenty of work available.

Competition / Market
There are quite a few established consultancy businesses in Wales because consultancy is heavily subsidised by the Welsh Assembly Government - that's why it's an attractive market for consultants, and works well for those who get involved in government sponsored support - like GreyMatter. GreyMatter has a recognised platform in this particular arena, with unique products and a great track record.

Support & training
We can discuss the support and training you need. As part of this agreement I'll be delighted to run GreyMatter alongside you, gradually ease you into the type of work we do, and introduce you to clients as we go along. As soon as you are ready to run things on your own - I'll wish you good luck and move on. It all depends on how experienced you are in consultancy. I can fit in with your reqirements.

Reasons for selling
I'm moving to a different area of consultancy by joining a partnership. I don't feel I can be involved in both companies and want to sell GreyMatter so I can concentrate on other activities.
