Business History
Meridian Business Sales are delighted to offer to the market this superb business that has been established for over 50 years and has been in the capable hands of our client since 1980. The only reason this profitable opportunity is being offered to the market is due to our clients desire to take a well deserved retirement. Since owning the business our client has continued to invest time and money into providing quality merchandise for purchase and in maintaining and regularly updating the premises and fixtures and fittings to provide a true turnkey opportunity for any prospective purchaser. Our client advises us of an annual turnover £447,599 with good gross profits which is derived from the sale of jewellery, repairs and an increasingly popular ‘old gold’ purchasing side to the business. Our client has an outstanding reputation as a family owned business built up over the last 30 years with a substantial database of customers both locally and nationally. Our client has invested heavily in security and has had no insurance claims in the entire history of the business with a walk-in strong room, an ex bank safe and a ‘red care’ monitored alarm system with fully electric security entry system and window shutters ensuring the safety of our clients products. Our client currently has no website and does only limited advertising again providing great scope for improvement on what is already a superb trading turnover. Our client also currently only trades 6 days of the week again providing scope for improvement on trade in this honey pot location. This is a superb opportunity to purchase a long established thriving business with great potential for improvement in one of Knutsford premier trading locations and as such early viewing comes highly recommended as businesses of this calibre rarely stay on the market for long.
