Cornwall
Description
Overview
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a long-established building plastics and trade supplies business in Cornwall, offered for sale after 33 years of continuous trading under the same owner. Operating as a stockist supplier of fascia boards, double glazing products and related building plastics, the business has built a loyal, reputation-led following in its local market.
The business generates a turnover of approximately £300,000 with a net profit of approximately £50,000, supported by two full-time members of staff. Remarkably, this has been achieved with no website and no formal marketing, with all trade won on reputation and word of mouth, leaving clear and untouched avenues for growth under new ownership.
The sale is due to the owner's retirement, and the owner is happy to hand over an extensive contact list built over three decades to support a smooth transition.
