Our client is conveniently located on a main shopping parade of an upmarket town in Northamptonshire. Local nearby businesses include several specialist independent outlets, Waitrose, Tesco, Boots , Argos and many many more, who all contribute in attracting large footfall levels to this thriving town.
The town is currently undergoing a major expansion programme with the population planned to almost double in size over the next few years.
The town has good free of charge car parks, which are time limited to 3 hours. The area has excellent road links via the M1 and M6 motorways and the A5 and A14 trunk roads.
THE BUSINESS
Advent Business Sales are delighted to offer to the market this very well established photographic processing lab and associated materials supplier with excellent future potential.
Established by our client some 6 years ago, the business is only now being reluctantly offered for sale to allow them to concentrate on pursuing the purely photographic side of the business.
The business offers photographic processing and printing from both digital media and negatives; self-service digital kiosk; an on-line processing service via the internet; cameras and associated accessories; printing onto mugs, T-shirts, mouse mats etc; passport and ID photographs; transfer of video and cinefilm to DVD; off-the-shelf and bespoke picture framing; albums and photocopying. They are also a Payzone outlet.
They have also recently introduced new lines in giftware, furniture and home wares.
The business also benefits from an annual order for printing for a local schools photography company and has a strong customer base grown from the existing loyalty scheme.
The business employs two full time staff members, as well as a part timer who works approximately 16 hours per week. Our client works approximately 24 hours per week in the shop. It is anticipated that sales will be approximately £130,000 per annum with a 55% gross margin.
Our client is prepared to work with a new purchaser for an agreed period of time to ensure a smooth hand over period and to effect the necessary introductions to staff and customers.
We are advised that stock at cost is approximately £5 – 6,000.

EXPANSION POTENTIAL
The business has huge potential to increase both sales and profits vastly by:
1. The fact that the town is due to increase in size by almost 50% over the next few years
2. The introduction of additional digital kiosks.
3. The introduction of other complimentary products such as greetings cards
4. More extensive advertising-currently only leaflet drops are undertaken
5. Offer other services such as Western Union money transfer
6. Introduction of large format printing for posters, banner and canvas wraps
7. A new purchaser, by working full time in the shop would save on staff wages
8. Making more of the fact that they were a recent winner of Fuji shop of the year award, beating some 230 other stores across Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
