Business History
Preferred Commercial is pleased to offer for sale this busy laundry business, which has been in our client's hands since 2007, as a new business venture, and which is only now being placed on the market due to a change in personal circumstances. The business generates a turnover in the region of £20,000 per annum which is continually increasing, derived from providing general laundry and ironing services. Our client currently trades 5-days per week at a pace to suit. The premises are well-equipped to suit the trade and are maintained to a high standard throughout. The unit offers a spacious office and reception, along with a large working area which is currently less than half utilised, offering scope for additional machinery if required. We are advised that the mains electrical supply capacity is under half utilised and there is a gas supply to the building whch is unused. A large amount of money has been invested on new equipment including 2 industrial washing machines, 2 commercial dryers, 1 press and 2 commercial washing machines. The business benefits from little competition and mainly offers services to the tourist industry, local pubs, B&Bs, cafes, restaurants and hotels, as well as the local population. Our client has gained an excellent reputation and a loyal customer base, which ensures virtually 100% repeat trade. We feel that turnover could be increased by extending the opening hours and by offering a more effective delivery and collection service, noting the current modus operandi, which requires temporary closure to effect. The new owner could perhaps, introduce a modest marketing campaign and possibly create a website. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire a busy laundry business, situated in a thriving area, which is in a walk-in-and-trade condition. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
