Business for sale

Business description

This is an exceptional photographic studio,processing facility and retail shop which has been run by the founders since its inception over fifteen years ago. In that time they have been able to capture the local market for weddings, schools, playgroups, commercial and the city council.

The company diary register is constantly full with weekends constantly booked out for weddings and family portraits. The business has now got to a stage where they are regularly having to turn work away as they need to employ more photographers.

The business runs from retail premises on a busy main high street and attracts a good amount of passing traffic. They have a fully equipped studio upstairs, which is used for portrait work and the downstairs shop has all the necessary processing and developing equipment that you would expect from the only photographic shop in the area.

As well as dominating the local domestic market – shooting family portraits and a constant stream of wedding assignments, this business has also built up a significant commercial clientele for brochure work and product shots etc. and has built a particular prescence amongst local schools and play groups. Additional revenue is generated from the sale of albums, frames, canvases, enlargements and cameras with the company running its own on line website giving customers the facility to order on line and download their own images for printing. With a number of labs closing down in the industry, these digital facilities which the business offers to the public keeps them ahead of their competitors and has
helped to grow the business.

This is an all year round business that is easy to run, has good cash flow and has great potential to grow. It is the only studio in the local area and has built up a reputation for its honesty, integrity and standards of high quality work from excellent modern premises.

This would make an excellent acquisition for an existing operator looking for additional prescence in the market place or alternatively for a keen photography enthusiast looking for an established studio and retail shop with a bulging order book.
