Bag a Business Ltd is pleased to offer for sale this online and mail order seller of signed and unsigned memorabilia, which also specialises in autographs and military memorabilia. The business has probably the most diverse range of memorabilia, autographs and gift ideas on the internet, as well as our internet partner being the winner of the prestigious UACC 'Distinguished Dealer of the Year' 2000 award. All signed items come with a unique 'Certificate of Authenticity' and are guaranteed for life. The business is now only being placed on the market to allow our client to concentrate on his other business interests. Our client runs the business with the help of two full-time and one part-time member of staff. The business expects to achieve an excellent turnover in excess of £400,000 per year, and enjoys an average gross profit margin of 60%. To date Chaucer Covers and Collectables has built up an enviable database of clients containing over 28,000 names and addresses of people who have received their catalogue, and over 6000 names and addresses of customers who have purchased items from them. We feel that this opportunity represents an excellent base for a new owner to build upon perhaps by expanding the product range. Early viewing of this highly profitable, easily relocateable business is strongly recommended.
