Note: This is a perfect ‘first business’ opportunity, with a low-cost base. It can be owner-run with a Saturday part-timer due to the intimate style of selling clients are seen 1:1 

A full set of accounts will be shown upon a viewing  (proof of finances to fund the purchase will be requested before a viewing is arranged)

Points to note:

Designer labels within the bridal industry are very hard to secure, not only does the boutique have some very sought after labels but this also means no other bridal store (new or existing) can stock these labels within a 10-15 mile radius. It is very hard for new stores to secure reputable designer labels.

The boutique has lots of returning customers all be it from current or past brides word of mouth, but also their prom clientele returning a few years later to purchase their bridal gowns.

The business is the dream job for anybody who loves the bridal industry, creating lots of opportunities to travel and experience buying in so many interesting exhibitions with lots of other perks!

The current owner is keen to agree a quick sale due to other business commitments and relocating aside of her health issues.
