The business was founded nearly 30 years ago, before being incorporated into a limited company in the early 2000s.
Originally selling curtain tracks and poles, the product range has been extended over time to include manufactured blinds and then curtains. In the mid 2000s an additional revenue stream, was added, selling pre-loved curtains.
The business operates from a 2 storey leased premises on the edge of the Cotswolds, servicing the North Cotswolds, Warwickshire and Oxfordshire. The ground floor houses the main showroom, including hundreds of material sample books and poles / tracks, while upstairs houses the 2nd hand curtain display, and sewing and work rooms.
The business has been operated by the current owners for about 10 years, running it with the help of 2 employees and 2 part-time subcontracted personnel. Having weathered Covid, sales now exceed pre-pandemic levels – the desire for clients to discuss their needs, see, touch, and feel and experience an enjoyable buying experience, remains alive and well.
The Company delivered revenues of c £340k for the previous financial year and is forecasting similar for the current year, delivering earnings before drawings for a single owner of c £50k.
Having run the business for nearly a decade, both owners are of retirement age and therefore seeking to transfer the business into new ownership. The guide price for assets and goodwill is £89,950 (including van). The vendors are keen to ensure a successful transition and will support any reasonable handover request.
