MARKET POSITION
Unique and favourable position in the market, the position would be further strengthened if bought by a trusted Gluten Free supplier, but not necessary.
STAFF/STOCK
Minimum staff and stock required (1 person part time moving to full time as the business develops). The cost of the member of staff would be covered by sales and so self supporting.
Minimum office space and storage, not reliant on one supplier as ownership of baking machine means ownership of the means of production. If purchaser chose to produce the product, the present owner however has suppliers of the product and does not need to bake. We are further advised that the goods have an extremely long shelf life and store well.
