Taxi and Minibus Business in Lincolnshire For Sale in Spalding- Business 4 Sale .co.uk

Business Summary

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this thriving taxi and minibus business, which has been in our clients' hands since 2005 and which is only now being placed on the market due to their wish to retire. Since our clients took over the business they have seen year on year growth. The business operates a fleet of clean and well-maintained vehicles and generates a turnover in the region of £1,000,000 per annum with a gross profit of 68%. Since our clients took over the business they have introduced a fresh approach to the taxi business with light and airy offices, a clean and well-maintained fleet with courteous staff and all drivers CRB checked. They have also introduced a completely computerised system at a cost of approximately £30,000, which automates bookings and tracks the vehicles. Our clients offer a children and OAP safe card scheme, with user accounts, and the child or elderly person given a safe card, which allows them to travel by taxi and the account holder is then billed. The office holds contact and address details for the card holder and priority is given to these clients, allowing relatives the peace of mind that their loved ones will be delivered safely home. The company also offers tailor made excursions. The business holds an operating licence to run 5 16-seater vehicles, the only company in the area to hold such a licence. Smart Cabs is the largest operator in the area and is the preferred choice for government awarded contracts. We feel this represents a unique opportunity to acquire a thriving and innovative private hire company, which boasts an excellent reputation. Early discussions with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
