Relocatable Small Manufacturing & Retail Business For Sale Re-locatable, United Kingdom Advert ref: WC858K Business description
This business supplies a unique product, which we are assured by the owner, cannot be replicated by any other manufacturer in the world.
The main products of this company, and the ones for which it is well known, are covers for spare wheels on 4 x 4 vehicles, horse boxes, trailers, motor homes and any other vehicle that has a spare wheel on display, plus bespoke covers for car seats, much in demand by country dwellers and pet owners.
All covers are individually made for the customer and can be a choice of seven different sizes to accommodate all sizes of wheels, with seat cover made to fit any car.
The covers in themselves are not unique, what is however is the method used by the company to apply virtually any picture or design to these covers.
Pictures can be from a photo supplied by the customer or chosen from the company’s catalogues which contain over 8,000 possible designs.
Until recently the picture was available in the centre of the cover only, with a white or dark background, the full colour cover is a recent development. The finished product is fully waterproof, sun proof and washable, transfers are applied by a secret method which will not be divulged until a sale is confirmed.
In addition the wheel and seat covers, the company also produces a large selection of bags, including sports bags, bags for dog brushes, guns, fishing rods, fishing accessories, bags for wellington boots and golf shoes and many more. Other products include dog leads, beds for dogs and cats and a very useful lining for car boots.
Some of these products can also have pictures or designs printed on them and are obviously useful for advertising a business. They also make great presents for many people, especially those who are animal lovers, but they are subsidery items to the two main products, the decorated wheel and seat covers.
THE BUSINESS HAS A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF STOCK ITEMS, WHICH WE ARE ADVISED HAVE A VALUE OF SEVERAL THOUSAND POUNDS, THESE ARE NOW INCLUDED IN THE PRICE.
This is an ideal Husband and Wife business, especially if the Wife can operate a sewing machine and the possibilities for expansion and developing the marketing outlets are vast.
For instance virtually no wholesaling is used at present and although the business has a web site, this is not currently a selling site.
Although this business has made the owner a good living over the past eighteen years, he unfortunate is in very poor health at present and is unlikely to ever be able to operate this kind of business again.
Due to this and the fact that the business relies on exhibition, many of which were cancelled last years because of the bad weather, no accounts are available and the business is being offered as a “start up” business, which means that virtually no value has been placed on the goodwill, however the owner is still attending some exhibitions and last year we understand the turnover exceeded £100,000 with only part time attention to the business.
The asking price is for the knowledge, the equipment, the catalogues of designs, the approximately 20,000 patterns that are held in stock, (one of these is required for each design), advice on which exhibitions are the most profitable and how to work them, plus a months training.
