Specialist Flooring Supplier
Exhibitions, Contract & Retail
Ref. AG146
Location : South Wales
Asking Price : Ł960,000
This well known and successful business was founded by the vendor in 1985 and was in response to noticing an opportunity to supply and fit contract floor coverings to the exhibition industry and to add value and generate secondary revenues by re-selling the previously supplied and used carpets back to commercial contract and exhibition customers, looking for savings.
The essential character of this business is illustrated in the novel way that its commercial, business to business activities in supplying and fitting exhibition and contract flooring is combined with its retail activities through its freehold premises on a busy and popular trading estate near one of South Wales best known Cities.
These retail activities account for circa 26% of overall turnover and is a growing & reliable cash-flow positive contributor to the business’ financial performance.
This format has remained unchanged since 1985 and has proven to be both highly profitable and sustainable as a business model; the business continues today as it always has, following this reliable format.
The company makes a wide choice of coverings available for hire or sale, including exhibition cord carpet, velour’s, artificial grass and kitchen flooring to exhibition halls, marquees and other venues which require temporary flooring. The business offers a rapid, reliable and personal service and employs highly trained and skilled carpet fitters. It is for these reasons that so many of customers have stayed loyal to the business year after year.
The business has benefitted from much investment by the current owner and is a testament to the positive financial outlook for the company, which is limited only by the owners’ desire to grow and diversify.
The business has a very well earned reputation, which is a great asset to the business. All operations are streamlined with low overheads. The customer base is diversified enough to give stability to future earnings with sales spread across them and have been loyal over the years, which provides much confidence in future earnings from which to build. |

About the Business |
Office Reference ID: #AG146 |
Year Established: 1985 |
Financing: |
Training: The owners are happy to provide training for an agreed handover period. |
Facilities: The business operates from two storey showroom, warehouse, workshop and office premises on a busy, trading estate in a building of circa 10,000 square feet to include: office mezzanine of circa 300 square feet, storage, workshop, showroom area and kitchen & toilet facilities and circa 2,500 square feet frontage for parking.
The premises benefit from a comprehensive security system with alarm and CCTV cameras protecting people, premises and goods within the estate.
The premises are currently freehold and in the ownership of the company; the freehold is available or a new lease could be assigned. Annual rates are circa Ł9,000.00 per annum. |
Competition: The business advertises on Google and has a fully comprehensive website which details the current catalogue & product line and also all available accessories.
The business also sponsors local road junction roundabouts which in combination with local interest magazines, creates awareness and footfall in the retail part of the business.
For the larger part of the business which is exhibition floorcoverings, the business takes advertising space in well known and well subscribed to, trade magazines. |
Growth: The business operates very much within the scope of the vendors’ self-imposed limits and could grow rapidly by expanding the business reputation into a better known brand by means of a determined investment in marketing, advertising, and typical brand building techniques.
It is believed by the vendors that the current levels of marketing commitment have touched only a small part of the company’s potential in the UK, particularly in relation to the demand for discounted used floor coverings for the commercial sector. |
