This is a turnkey operation ready to go.
Here is an excellent well established online ordering home delivery company that provides a personalised service catering particularly for the needs of the elderly and house bound enabling independent living.There is huge potential to expand .
The current product range includes fresh produce, including meat and vegetables, frozen foods, tinned products, personal hygiene products, treats, such as chocolate, and biscuits, drinks including alcohol as well as cleaning products and toiletries to name just a few of the range of products stocked and that could be easily expanded.
The unique selling point of the company, and where it differs from supermarket delivery, is that the business has been built on the concept of simplifying the whole process to make it accessible to people that would otherwise find it difficult to cope, and who find the prospect of online supermarket shopping too daunting.
The company takes orders, either online but mainly via a telephone answering service, from relatives, carers, councils and local hospitals, solicitors who have the power of attorney for clients as well as elderly and less able clients themselves allowing them to maintain their independence in their own homes.
The company is extremely profitable, although it is currently operated as more of a lifestyle business. The business carries out no social media, and the website needs updating which would no doubt bring in considerably more business.
We believe the business to be unique. As far as we are aware the business is the only business that offers a telephone order line for a complete week’s groceries delivered to the home.
Some people still do not want to order online, but are happy to leave an order by phone. The food is delivered into the kitchen, not left on the door step like a supermarket delivery. When the carer is not present when the delivery is made, the company actually place frozen food in the freezer, and food that requires refrigerating in the fridge.
The company liaises with customers family members who may live in a different part of the country or indeed overseas.
The stock will be at valuation and is estimated at £20,000 at cost.
The reason for the sale is due to the relocation of the owner for family reasons.
There will be a reasonable handover period.
The business is being sold on a cash free/debt free basis.
