BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Installer of uPVC Windows, Doors and Conservatories
Ref. GK276
Location : South Coast
Asking Price : GBP 150,000
This well-established business has been successfully trading for over 27 years (9 years as a limited company) and was started by the current owner. The vendor identified an opportunity to establish a service driven uPVC installation business whilst learning his trade as a fitter with another company. His attention to detail underpinned with exceptional customer service supported by his wife has enabled him to grow his business at a sensible rate and he can proudly boast of an excellent review profile through CheckaTrade. Only using quality local manufacturers, the company is confident they can be judged solely on the excellence of the install and pride themselves on their aftersales service. The company is now very well positioned as a well respected installer of quality, well built doors, windows and conservatories.
The business is well established and easy to run with no bad debts and a good cash flow. There are regular requests to quote for new installs which represents an excellent opportunity for new owners to take over the existing business and obtain their database of clients and enquiries.
The business would certainly benefit from a new injection of energy and business acumen to maximise the many opportunities at its disposal. Through choice, the vendor has been selective about the volume of work he has taken on over the last year.
Expansion Potential
The business is primed for expansion. The volume of enquiries, the existing client data base and the increasing demand for quality installations means this business can only go one way in the right hands.
An existing installation or manufacturing business could slot this company into its operation, leaving many of the operating costs behind and reaping the rewards for an economies of scale acquisition.
Market / Competition / Non-Competition Agreements
The business has maintained a constant presence in the marketplace and has benefitted from many referrals from existing clients. The customer database is comprehensive and would allow for both traditional mail, and e mail shots to existing clients and registered enquiries.
