Growth Potential

This is an excellent opportunity to purchase a well- structured company generating profits with first class growth potential. They maintain an extensive base of satisfied customers yet the owner suggests that with new ideas and energy the company has the potential to grow significantly.

The company is ideally positioned to increase its freight forwarding but there is no dedicated person in house to handle this. There is also the storage facility in the warehouse which has never been promoted to clients with many not knowing that it exists. This is down to simple communication between the company and its clients. The owner believes that running a simple sales drive to promote themselves and their list of services would increase business immediately.
