THE BUSINESS & PROPERTY DETAILS:

The sale includes an excellent website and all social media accounts. Benefitting from both private parking to the rear, plus nearby on-road parking. The business is relocatable.

Business: The business is much more than a bridal boutique. Additional services that bring in revenue are; accessories (head-dresses, wedding shoes etc;) a floristry service, tableware (centre pieces and prop hire), the cleaning and storage of dresses, plus an in-house seamstress for those all-important alterations. 

Potential: Further income streams are possible. For example, the introduction of Bridesmaids dresses, Mother of the Bride outfits, Groom and groomsmen’s wear, forging partnerships with linked business such as limousine companies and venues etc; Whilst the number of social media followers and reviews are impressive, this business very much lends itself to increasing this further; perhaps creating some hype targeted towards a certain demographic.

Sales: Average turnover for the past 3 years (2022 to 2024) is £178,000 (derived on part time hours).

Trading Hours: Currently by appointment only. Regular trading hours are an option for the new owners.

Stock: To be taken at value. 
Staff: Currently 1 vendor working on an appointment only basis, plus 1 part time dress maker (not salaried). In the past the business operated with 1 vendor plus 1 member of staff, having set opening times plus private fittings.
Training: The sale includes a comprehensive handover with the vendor. If required, the vendor will continue to work part time (subject to renumeration, terms to be agreed).
Tenure: Leasehold. New lease to be issued unless the purchaser wishes to relocate the business to another location.

Rent: Current rent £1,450 per month (estimated for new lease).

Summary: This is a beautiful bridal boutique with an excellent trading history. Great customer service and a love for fashion is key in this industry. Ideally suited to someone wanting flexible hours, perhaps a partnership; flexible working hours, high profit margin, beautiful products to work with, the ability to manoeuvre the business into different directions and much more.
