Property Information

Business Operation
- Management type:
- This business is owner operated.
- Expansion Potential:
-
The current business has been developed with minimal marketing, to the point that stock availability has been throttled to control demand. We believe turnover could be significantly increased through more extensive marketing, such as paid advertising, solicited marketing (newsletters, etc) and unsolicited marketing, in addition to opportunities to increase the price of individual plants.
- Competition / Market:
-
We believe the Hardy Geranium Nursery to be the leading specialist provider of Hardy Geraniums in the UK, and has been featured in various publications. Primary competition includes generalist garden centres; however, they are less able to meet the requirements of the many Hardy Geranium enthusiasts.
- Reasons for selling:
-
The business is being sold due to resource limitations of the current owner, due to high demand from customers following very little marketing or business development activities being performed. The current owner has also throttled stock availability, to manage new orders.
- Trading hours:
-
24/7 online.
- Employees:
- 0
- Years established:
- 2017
Other Information
- Support & training:
-
The current owner, a qualified horticulturalist and experienced manager / operator of the business, will provide reasonable support to help the new owner transition into the business.
- Home based:
- This business can be run from home
- Relocatable:
- This business can be relocated
