Very Profitable Convenience Store - Newsagent & Off-Licence Run Under Management

Ref. AF173

Location Worcester City Centre

Asking Price £35,000

Business Profile

Established over 7 years ago this modern convenience store operates primarily as a newsagents and off-licence supplying a range of customers within the community it serves. A well located convenience store this business sells food, confectionary and general products, alcohol, newspapers and cigarettes etc. all of which bring a growing number of repeat customers into the store, on a regular basis. 

The location of this business is superb and it brings in a constant stream of paying customers. The store is situated on a walking and driving commuting route, serving a college, residents and local businesses including the Worcester race course, cricket ground, hotel, and restaurants and bars. 70% of customers are regular customers and the remaining 30% as passing through (shopping on the high street, tourists, etc.). We are advised the business only utilises some 25% of the available space within the premises.

This has been an  extremely profitable business with excellent turnover and profits to  date. Figures for current year are down (see below for reasons)  and it is offered at a very realistic price for a quick sale. . The business is now  run under management and has  generated excellent returns for the vendor.

This  has been  a very well-managed, easy to run business. With turnover historically  averaging in excess £9,000 - per week , this represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a well located convenience store and off licence, that is solidly established within the local community.

Since July 2015  the vendor has put in place a manager to run things and this additional cost, as you  would expect , has impacted sales and profitability for the current year,  as has the poor weather.

Because the vendor is now not working in the business full time it has also  started to get stock delivered but again this is incurring additional costs that would not necessarily be incurred by a new owner.

Customer service:

The business manages many customers in any normal working week and has the range of stock and processes (including modern EPOS system) to ensure that customer needs are satisfied fully. Customer service and presentation is very important to the business, the vendor ensures that staff are polite, helpful and efficient with customers.

This customer management and satisfaction is backed up with the provision of a wide variety of products and services from which comes customer confidence and is responsible for the business benefiting from a growing customer base.

Development site for 60 bed care home and variety of 60 1&2 bed close care units Approximately 3 acres of land

Ref. CR184

Location Kent

Asking Price £1,500,000

Business Profile

Turner Butler are delighted to be able to offer for sale this unique high profile care development opportunity. The current outline plan is to develop a section of valuable land into an extensive 60 bed care home which is then complimented further by an additonal 60 close care units all on a site of approximatley 3 acres.

The position is that our clients who own the freehold title to the land, operate a holiday letting business which is the combination of their detached family home and then a further seven holiday cottages from which the existing holiday letting business operates. This is all located within extensive parklands which provide a beautiful backdrop for this current business and the intended care development.

Additionally on adjoining land (not owned by our clients and not included in the sale) is a popular hotel and sports complex facility. It should be noted that on original development plans the hotel was part of a wider re development opportunity, these plans are still in place but our clients are now concentrating on the proposed development of the care facility.The hotel and sports facilities we believe would prove to be ideal neighbours for this development of assisted living and care home facilities.

The location of the proposed development could not be in a more pictureque setting which also has a facinating past. Scattered around the grounds are numerous reminders of this sites previous existance as a fantastic privately owned estate.

The site is accessed from a major road close to Faversham, since the conception of this proposed development, over the last 24 months the owners have undertaken a vast array of feaseability and archaeological studies which have shown that this development can have the green light. All of these and the relevent information can be made available to interested parties. We are advised that the owners are in the final stages of the 106 agreement.

We also hold detailed plans/drawings for the the proposed 60 bed care facility and close care units which we are advised are the combination of 1 and 2 bedrooms.

This is a rare opportunity to be part of what is undoubtedly one of the areas leading care facilities devlopments. Purchasers have the option to view the proposed site and also have access to all of the current drawings which are on file.

CC176-Accredited National Employment Agency for Talent and Models

Accredited National Employment Agency for Talent and Models

Ref. CC176

Location : Norwich / Relocatable

Asking Price : £860,000

Business Profile
The Business:

The opportunity exists to acquire by way of a share purchase all of the issued capital in this holding company and its subsidiaries (“the Business”).The Business is a nationally renowned, government regulated Model and Talent Employment Agency that matches models, actors, singers, dancers, entertainers and pets to businesses, advertising agencies, film and fashion companies and production studios across the nation.

- Employment agency – The Business is an Employment Agency permitted, by law, to search for work for its men, women and child models, in stark contrast to the many simple online showcases masquerading as ‘agents’ that litter the industry. 
- National reach – The Business is possibly the only talent agency in the UK that can match models anywhere in the country to corporate clients, anywhere in the country. In the UK, government inspected talent agencies are almost always local in their scope, both in terms of models and companies they work with. 
- Breadth of services – The Business is able to serve virtually any talent need, representing men, women, teens, children, babies and pets to the film, television, advertising, fashion, catalogue, marketing, promotional and photographic industries. In addition, it offers educational services through its online “Modelling School’, together with the UK’s first and only industry magazine.
- Reputation– bringing all of the above together with over 25 years of industry experience and streamlined operations have established the Business as unequalled in the UK.
- Clients – many of the Business’ clients are loyal, long term or repeat customers who depend on fast, efficient and cost-effective solutions with national capability, to fill their modelling needs, resulting in a secure, ongoing stream of revenue.

The Business generates revenues from two types of clients in the form of registration fees (paid by models and talent) and a share of fees, collected from corporate hiring clients on behalf of models and talent. Its additional services bring in additional sources of income. 

Particularly noteworthy is the Business’ online presence, with the vast majority of model clients applying online and a good deal of new corporate clients coming via the web as well. The vendors have recently made a substantial investment in a soon to be launched new website. In addition, online promotion is managed by contracted industry specialists.
