Does the idea of starting up a shop business in Stafford excite you but at the same time fill you with fear? Have you been looking for a business for sale in Staffordshire but can’t find one you like or meets your budget?
The trouble with starting a retail business from scratch is you could spend thousands on shop fixtures and fittings, tens of thousands on stock, enter into a hefty and long lease, start to pay wages and all with no assurance that the business is going to be a success. It’s no surprise then that banks prefer to lend to people buying a going concern rather than a setting up a new business.
If you choose to buy an existing business how can you be sure your investment is going to give you the return you need. With loans now harder to find will a bank be willing to lend against a business that may have falling sales?
How differently would you feel about investing in a retail business that has:
• A proven financial track record
• Has grown in sales during 2009 despite the recession
• Has been trading successfully in the bustling market town of Stafford for nearly 4 years
• Offers a fun range of affordable products that customers keep coming back to buy more.
• Has an average gross margin on sales of 65%.
• Is about to enter the hugely profitable Christmas trading season.
