Asking Price:
£120,000 Inventory / Stock included
Turnover:
£137,600
Net Profit:
£12,100

An exceptional opportunity has arisen to acquire a well-established and highly regarded children's shoe and boutique retail business.

For over 11 years, this business has cultivated a strong reputation for its commitment to high-quality footwear and its expertise in shoe measuring and fitting (in association with The Society of She Fitters).This dedication has fostered consistent referrals from both NHS and private physiotherapists and podiatrists.

The business has strategically diversified its offerings to include a curated selection of organic baby clothing, artisanal wooden toys, and unique gifts, transforming it into a comprehensive destination shopping experience.

Significant growth potential exists, particularly given the numerous new residential developments in the surrounding area.

The sale is prompted by a genuine need for long-term recovery from an injury.

The premises comprise an attractive three-story building, offering ample storage capacity for seasonal inventory. A kitchenette and restroom facilities are conveniently located on the top floor. Furthermore, a dedicated parking space is allocated within a private car park at the rear of the building.

The property is offered on a leasehold basis and is currently out of contract. The landlord is highly cooperative, and a long-term lease may be negotiable, subject to agreement between the buyer and landlord.

The business is presently exempt from business rates.

Net profits have demonstrated consistent growth.

A fully trained and competent staff is in place, capable of managing daily operations.

A comprehensive e-commerce website is fully operational, with an external developer available for support as needed (developer fees are not included in the sale).
