Coach And Bus Hire Company For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this thriving coach and bus hire company that was established by our clients some 30 years ago. It is only now being placed on the market due to retirement. The business currently has a weekly turnover of £9,000 with an adjusted net profit of £181,000 per annum. The business is very much run at a pace to suit and is ready for a new owner to take this excellent business to the next level. The property is freehold and could also offer convenience/café/takeaway in the former garage shop. Fuel sales could also be reintroduced, as the tanks are usable upto 2027. The workshop is capable of class VII Mots subject to licence. The coaches could be upgraded and national and international travel could be offered, as well as hen and stag nights, to name but a few. Car and commercial vehicle sales could be introduced or the pitch could be rented out to provide further income. This is a very versatile site that offers infinite scope for future development of this truly excellent family business. The business further benefits from desirable contracts with a holiday park operator and numerous schools contracts. Early discussions with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
