Health Shop & Treatment Centre For Sale in Essex- Business 4 Sale .co.uk

Business Summary

THE BUSINESS
Advent Business Sales is delighted to have been instructed to offer to the market this well respected and profitable health shop and treatment centre.

Established by our client in December 2004, the business is now being sold owing to family circumstances.

The business is primarily involved in the retail of natural health products. These include vitamin and mineral supplements, herbal remedies, natural body care products and cosmetics. The product range has well respected and prestigious brands such as Dr Hauschka, Green People, Weleda, Vogel, Viridian and Pukka. All products have a strong ethical bias and are mostly organic.

In addition to the retail element of the business, a wide range of services is offered.
The premises benefit from a range of treatment rooms and services include reflexology, herbal medicine, homeopathy, Dr Hauschka beauty treatments and massage.

The business is currently run by a highly qualified mother and daughter team assisted by two part time assistants, one being a therapist, the other a medical herbalist. On going training and retail support is offered by dedicated representatives who promote the various product lines.

The customer base is varied, but comprises mainly women over the age of thirty, including significant numbers of mothers and babies with an interest in health related issues. Many come from outside Colchester. The business has very little direct competition locally, and customers value the personal service and advice offered.

The business is sold with an excellent web domain.

We are advised that stock holding is normally in the region of £18,000

The vendor would be more than happy to assist the buyer with a handover period should this be required.

	Location:	Our client’s shop is located in the heart of the bustling town of Colchester in Essex. Trading from a highly visible location just off the main high street, the shop is close to a range of complementary businesses, including a therapy centre. Within the immediate vicinity, there are a number of independent retailers, along with various offices and service based businesses, including a busy pub. There are also a number of shoppers’ car parks within easy reach. The town has a heritage spanning many centuries. With a population of 104,000, there is a large commuter presence, along with a military barracks, the home to the Royal Anglian Regiment. The A12 trunk road connects the town with Ipswich to the north, and Chelmsford to the south. There is a railway station on the Norwich – London Liverpool Street line, with the capital accessible in less than 45 minutes. Stansted International airport is less than an hour by road. The county of Essex supports a large, mainly urbanised, population with an ageing demographic. This, and the high profile of health and well being generally, provides an excellent marketing opportunity for the business.
