Barcode Systems Direct Ltd is a specialist UK e-commerce business supplying barcode, Auto-ID, printing and data-capture equipment to business customers.
The business operates through barcodedirect.co.uk and offers products from established manufacturers across barcode scanners, label printers, card printers, mobile computing, machine vision and related accessories.
The business has already been set up with UK VAT and EORI registrations, an established e-commerce website, product catalogue, business email accounts and relationships with specialist trade distributors. Existing supplier accounts and trade arrangements may be included where transferable and subject to supplier approval.
The business has been designed around a low-overhead model, with products generally sourced from distributors against customer demand rather than requiring significant stockholding. This makes it suitable for an existing IT, EPOS, Auto-ID or technology reseller looking to add another sales channel, or for an individual looking to acquire a ready-built specialist e-commerce operation.
The sale can include the Barcode Direct brand, barcodedirect.co.uk domain, e-commerce website, catalogue and content, associated digital assets, business processes, enquiry/customer history and supplier relationships. The limited company itself can also be included depending on the agreed structure of the sale.
A reasonable handover period will be provided to assist the buyer with website administration, supplier ordering processes and the day-to-day operation of the business.
Reason for sale: The owner is focusing on other work and projects and does not currently have sufficient time to develop the business to its full potential.
