Specialist Commercial Sign Writing Business

CoGoGo welcomes to the market Sign Design Services (NE) Ltd, a long-established signage and large-format printing business that has been successfully built up by the current owner since 1992.

Over many years of trading, the business has developed an enviable reputation within its specialist market, establishing strong relationships with commercial clients and becoming known for delivering professional, bespoke signage solutions.

The business specialises in sign writing and the manufacture and installation of large-format prints for the commercial market, providing individually tailored packages to meet clients’ specific requirements.

A particularly attractive feature of the opportunity is the business's established relationships with recognised national brands. The existing brochure states that the company has secured work supplying internal and external signage across multiple sites, alongside longstanding relationships developed over many years.

The business has also previously secured significant contract work with a nationally recognised takeaway franchise, supplying internal and external signage to new stores, together with opportunities for ongoing refit work.

This represents an exciting acquisition for an existing signage, printing or graphics company looking to expand its customer base and commercial relationships, or for an experienced operator seeking to take over a well-established name within the sector.

The opportunity is now being offered as a Business Only sale. No premises or lease are included, meaning a purchaser will need to relocate the operation to their own suitable premises.

A selection of quality equipment and assets is included within the sale, providing an incoming owner with many of the tools required to continue operating the business. The sale also includes a liveried long-wheelbase van and the established, user-friendly business website.

The current owner is prepared to provide a suitable handover period to assist the purchaser and help ensure a smooth transition of ownership.

The business is genuinely offered for sale as the owner looks towards retirement, making this a rare opportunity to acquire a long-established operation with considerable history, goodwill and further development potential.



Location

Business Only – Relocatable

The sale does not include premises or a lease.

A purchaser will therefore need to relocate the business to their own suitable commercial premises. This could make the opportunity particularly attractive to an existing signage, printing, graphics or related company with suitable facilities already in place.

The relocatable nature of the sale also provides an incoming owner with greater flexibility over where and how the business is operated going forward.
