Competition

The business has never felt the need to advertise preferring to rely on referrals, repeat business and word of mouth recommendations to generate revenues. As an approved supplier to various contractors and companies it has a steady stream of invitations to tender. It is also promoted through its accreditation with The Loss Prevention Council. The company also has its own basic website and corporate brochure it sends to potential clients.

Growth Potential

The business has regular revenue streams and a large customer base ripe for future development. Further investment and expansion would offer potential for the business to expand its operation further afield. The business does very little in the way of proactive sales and has a customer base with a huge estate that needs continual refurbishment and upgrading.

Ongoing growth of the maintenance offering as well as initial installation works are prime objectives. The fire protection market has experienced major growth over the last few years and this is expected to continue into the future with more and more legislation and directives being put in place with regards to sprinkler systems, insurance liability and health and safety. This business is perfectly positioned to develop these opportunities as they arise.

Support and Training Offered

The owner is happy to provide full business familiarisation and handover to ensure continuity of trading and a seamless transistion. He is also happy to stay on for a further period if so required subject to negotiation.
