Lucrative Dream Doors Franchise In Chelmsford For Sale

Chelmsford, Essex, UK
Asking Price:
£80,000 Furniture / Fixtures included
Turnover:
£500K - £1M
Net Profit:
£50K - £100K

Dream Doors Chelmsford is now available to purchase. Its owners are coming up to five years since they started, which was always their planned time to move on. They have achieved their objectives and wish to spend more time with their family.

The business was originally launched almost 15 years ago and, when the founders retired and relocated north, it was snapped up by the current owners. It has delivered exactly what they wanted in terms of lifestyle, working together and remuneration - but it is now time for someone else to take the business on.

And what's appealing is that there is so much more opportunity out there.

Top Dream Doors showrooms turnover more than £1.5M annually, with a healthy 15-20% net profit. The Chelmsford area could achieve this, and more, if you have the desire and build the requisite team. The physical infrastructure is in place, and the business benefits from a talented full-time installer. But to take this business past £1M it might need another team member or two. Dream Doors will assist in this, providing training and support.

Dream Doors will, of course, train you in all aspects of the business, and the current owners will be there to assist during a handover period.

What will you need? In terms of liquid capital, somewhere around £40,000, and the rest can be borrowed from a bank (on an unsecured basis, subject to status). Run this business modestly, and you'll earn that back comfortably before the end of your first year. But, if you come into this with a growth mindset, you could get a return on investment in a few short months!

What else will you need? In terms of skills and attributes, you'll need to be comfortable dealing with people and managing projects, but you don't ned any kitchen industry experience. In fact, hardly any of Dream Doors' 100 franchisees have come from the kitchen sector!

This is a rare opportunity. There are no other businesses for sale in the Essex area, and this showroom is one of the best in the network. For more detailed information, simply contact Dream Doors today.
