Business for sale

Business description

Advent Business Sales is pleased to have been instructed to offer to the market this extremely well established giftware and jewellery business with excellent potential for growth.

Founded by the current owner almost 19 years ago it is only now reluctantly offered for sale due to his ill health.

The business is currently staffed by the owner with the assistance of 3 part time staff, each working 3 days a week.

The shop offers a very broad range of products including:
• Collectables
• Jewellery
• Pictures and frames
• Ceramics
• Minerals
• Fantasy
• Soft toys
• Carvings
• Fossils
• Gift cards
• And much more.

They also buy good quantities of unwanted gold and silver, which can be turned into instant profits just by re-selling to dealers.

The customer base is predominantly local but tourists account for approximately 10% of turnover.

There is a growing and high level of repeat business due to the owner’s excellent reputation and location.

The business is run at its current levels with no advertising whatsoever and operates from attractive premises decorated to a good standard and with extremely competitive rent and rates.
