Asking Price: £213,255 (Business + Stock) | Debt-Free | Turnkey Operation
This is a rare chance to acquire one of the UK's largest online stockists of natural coir matting — a profitable, debt-free e-commerce business with a loyal customer base, a direct overseas supply chain, and substantial untapped growth potential.
Originally launched over a decade ago, the business has built a strong reputation supplying premium, eco-friendly coir matting — manufactured without rubber or PVC backing — direct from source in South India. Products serve three thriving market segments: glamping and bell tent operators, marquee and event hire companies, and individual retail buyers.
Revenue has more than doubled year-on-year, growing from £52k to £111k, almost entirely through organic demand and word of mouth — with virtually no paid marketing to date.
Why This Business Stands Out
Lean and scalable — currently run by a single UK-based operations manager, with sourcing, quality control and shipping handled by a retained overseas partner who is open to continuing post-sale
Established demand — 282 active accounts across glamping, marquee/event hire, and retail customers, with consistent year-round orders and seasonal peaks in spring and autumn
Strong, proven supply chain — direct manufacturing relationship with an established overseas partner, with three 40ft containers of stock imported per year
Clean financials — no debt, healthy 68% gross margins, and a 46% net margin in the most recent trading year
Untapped growth levers — no PPC, limited social media, and only basic SEO in place; the addressable UK glamping, marquee, and events market is far larger than the current customer base
Flexible for any buyer profile — runs comfortably as a one-person lifestyle business, or as a platform for a buyer looking to scale with a larger team, wider marketing spend, and an expanded product range (including a flagged growth opportunity in erosion-control matting for the landscaping and civil engineering sectors)
