Property information

Location:

Midlands based but UK coverage, this is a fully mobile operation (we have covered high margin events throughout Europe as well), easily transported using a Transit sized van.

Other information

Expansion potential:

This is a business which we have never paid to advertise, we have relied on Search Engines and word of mouth booking, we have never even had to produce a brochure or leaflet, anybody wishing to promote through direct mail/Yellow Pages etc will open up a whole new potential customer base.
We have identified a whole host of opportunities that potential buyers may wish to exploit (as an example, we never cover events for children), we will be happy to discuss them with any potential buyer.

Competition / Market:

Our product has a unique selling point bringing F1 simulation to venues which otherwise would regard this type of thing impossible. There are one or two operators with products similar to ours but none match us for quality, scale or reputation.

Support & training:

Full support, training and back up to enable any buyer to operate the equipment (incredibly simple), price the bookings and promote for new business, our established Google rankings will be adapted to allow users to click straight to your website (a unique website created for the buyer is included in the sale) with all of your contact details and we will forward enquiries (small commission) to the new owners.

Reasons for selling:

Thisis a part of a larger corporate entertainment business, one director (there are only two) is semi-retiring in 2009 and rather than employing somebody we have decided to reduce the size of the company. 2006/7 the turnover was £48000 and net profit was £28000
