Growth and Expansion:
This business maintains an extensive base of satisfied clients, who appreciate the company’s superior service. There are excellent opportunities to increase the level of business. Given the volume of Building Surveys and wide base of clients the practice has a large potential growth area in planning, building regulations control and project management, whereby clients require alterations to their property after survey. This is currently not exploited to its full potential and more often referred to other local practices, due to pressure of work.
A new owner with sound management experience will maintain enthusiasm, impetus and energy to drive the practice forward thus exploiting existing business opportunities. This will also lead to a wider managerial spread which will further fuel business opportunities.
