With a herd currently standing at 41 alpaca including 25 females, 6 stud quality males and 10 pet quality males, the company has bred Class winners in every British Alpaca Society (BAS) national show since 2001. The business is easy to run with the animals requiring only 15 minutes per day for regular feeding, 2 hours on 6 occasions per year for vaccinations and more detailed health checks plus one full day per year for shearing. Activities in excess of this are discretionary ones such as shows, sales, etc. The animals are fully hardy staying out in all weathers, are generally disease resistant and can be kept at up to six animals per acre of regular grazing pasture. A prospective buyer need not have any farming experience at all, as there are a number of established courses on which to learn about alpaca husbandry. The business has a trading history that shows strong capital growth, particularly in the last three years as the compound growth effect of home bred alpacas going on to have their own young has taken effect. The business has turned over up to £34,000 PA and the general running costs of the animals are around £125 per animal per year, but the current owners have preferred capital growth to income. Capital growth occurs in a low tax environment due to the inland revenue treatment of newly born livestock (you pay tax on the cost of acquiring the asset so do not realize the full tax charge until the point of sale)
A prospective buyer can effectively choose any combination of income and growth by either selling or keeping the livestock born each year. If income were the prime consideration it would be possible to generate annual profits on livestock sales of £20,000+ whilst maintaining the current herd size. The business is fully portable to any location within the UK and also within Europe subject to any import regulations in the receiving country. The business sale includes the livestock, all the equipment needed to keep them including a 3.5 ton vehicle to move them around, the website, the associated knitwear business including a small amount of stock and the goodwill associated with the company brand. Further information including a financial summary is available upon request. | | | | | | FOR SALE | | | | | REFERENCE: | 40870 / RightBiz | | | | | | Request more information about this business.. | | ENQUIRIES: | | | | CONTACT SELLER TO GET THE SELLERS DIRECT CONTACT DETAILS AVAILABLE TO MEMBERS ONLY | | | | | | | | | | | |
