This young and progressive company was set up by the vendor to provide the specialist supply of press room chemicals and subsequent waste collection services to customers throughout the UK.

Expansion Potential
The business has regular revenue streams and a strong customer base ripe for future development. The company has opportunities to significantly increase its volume of work with several existing clients but requires further resource to do this.

Because of the nature of the products this company supplies it is constantly visiting customers and it has a very captive audience. Further sales and marketing activity in this area would certainly increase exposure as would the promotion of ancillary products and consumables .This currently only accounts for some 5-6% of sales.

One key area of growth could be the development of a franchise network or agency network to replicate this highly effective business model across the UK. This could easily be done as the market for pressroom chemicals is huge. This business is currently only serving a very very small proportion of it.

The market for this company’s products and services is large and strong and the company has enjoyed healthy growth over recent years. The company’s market penetration and own brand recognition could significantly be increased on the back of its sterling reputation and innovative approach.

This business is perfectly positioned to develop these opportunities such is its standing in the market.

Market / Competition / Non-Competition Agreements
The business has never undertaken any real advertising or marketing preferring to rely on referrals, repeat business and word of mouth recommendations to generate revenues. The company does have an informative website and brochure but would benefit greatly from further development of this and its marketing strategy as a whole.
