Nationwide are pleased to offer to the market : The business has been in the same hands for the past 27 YEARS and is at present operated from a small retail shop in the safe densely populated residential area of Sevenoaks.
The business comprises:
7 newsrounds plus 1 country round, undertaken within the Sevenoaks area.
WE ARE ADVISED THAT THE SALES YEAR ENDING 30th JUNE 2010 SHOWED £155,364 (INCLUDING DELIVERY CHARGES) WITH A GROSS PROFIT OF £84,791 (BEFORE WAGES OF £17,056) AND A NET PROFIT OF £58,813.
We understand from the present owners that the papers arrive at the shop at approx. 4.30 a.m. and having been marked up leave the premises for deliveries by 6 a.m.
The deliveries of newspapers are to residential customers plus offices etc.
The present vendor has traded from the existing premises for the past 27 YEARS and is prepared to grant a short-term lease of, say, 1 year, in respect of the shop premises, at a rental of £5,200 p.a. excl. of rates, if required. Alternatively a prospective purchaser may consider locating a shop in a more prominent position in the Sevenoaks area, in order to establish a retail trade as well. Alternatively, perhaps a small industrial unit would be suitable for the business being undertaken.
Outstanding opportunity to acquire this profitable news delivery business which, as will be appreciated, provides a lucrative income for a relatively short hour working day.
RECOMMENDED FOR EARLY INSPECTION.
PRICE TO INCLUDE THE GOODWILL, £135,000, SUBJECT TO CONTRACT.
LOAN POSSIBLE TO AN APPROVED APPLICANT.
