Mobile Wholesaler – PLUS 2 internet sales sites - Can be Relocated

High margin, fast moving brands to the multiple, convenience store and independent retail trade

Established for 18 years this business supplies a wide range of goods into the multiple and independent retail and convenience store chains. This business distributes a very wide range of merchandise across sectors as diverse as Hosiery, Sugar Free sweets, Batteries, Socks, Lighters, Hats, Gloves, Caps - with a consistent theme of small volume, high margin – and frequently small size products. Batteries, are amongst the best selling lines. As well as being a distributor of , Eveready and Duracell branded products, this business is also the exclusive authorised distributor for one of the UK’s largest hosiery brands servicing their accounts on a commission basis as well as supplying shops as a distributor. We are also a distributor for a company supplying Haircare / Jewellery & Sunglasses. An independent business in its own right, this business receives considerable support from suppliers and buying groups providing amongst other things, national account leads. This business currently calls upon approximately 250 accounts on a regular basis within its designated area which includes WALES, and part of the border county areas of England. There is plenty of scope for expansion in both customers served and range carried. This is an easy to run business. There is no great requirement for stock holding and storage space as stock is carried on a VW LT35 van which IS included in the price. Most calls are currently arranged on a four weekly cycle – with other outlets visited as required. Independent calls buy on a cash on delivery basis with 2 buying groups also serviced with payment coming in monthly. Also customers of the hosiery company serviced on a commission basis

With turnover of approximately £120,000 generating gross margins of approx 25%, this is an excellent opportunity to acquire a small, independent wholesale/distribution business with significant centralised assistance and excellent growth and expansion potential. There are also 2 internet sales sites selling retail , with customers in UK and worldwide. Again plenty of scope for expansion on the internet sites. Based in Blackwood in a council rented property, but can easily be relocated and run from home with a garage. To include the VW LT35 long wheelbase van (55 plate)Taxed and new MOT April 2010 and all stock. Great business for an individual or for a couple to expand both van sales and internet sales.
