Business for sale

Business description

Advent Business Sales is pleased to offer to
the market this extremely well established
bed shop business, which has been trading
successfully for the past 24 years.
The current vendor has been in continuous
ownership since its inception but is
reluctantly selling due to a requirement to
move abroad.
The business is in the enviable situation of
being the only local suppliers of such names
as Silent Night, Slumberland, Komfi, Rest
Assured, Myers, Dream Works, Dunlapillo,
OBC and Metal Beds Co, giving it almost
monopolistic situation with some of the
biggest brand names.
They have a fantastic local customer base,
which extends some 10 – 15 mile radius of
both shops.
The shop supplies not only beds but also
headboards, mattresses and pillows from the
mid range to the more premium products.
The ‘bed’ business is fortunate to be an ‘all
year’ sales opportunity and the positioning
of both these shops has very little
competition locally.
The business has high annual sales with a
good Gross Profit margin producing enviable
net profits and comes to the market with a
delivery van.
We are advised that stock at cost between
both shops is approximately £37,000.
Three full time employees, including the
vendor, together with 2 employees on the
van full time staff both shops.
