Net Profit:
On request

A rare opportunity to acquire a highly successful specialist heating retail business operating from a prominent town-centre showroom in the East Midlands.

Established in 2014, the business has built an outstanding reputation for quality products, expert workmanship and exceptional customer service. It specialises in fireplaces, stoves, central heating solutions and media walls, serving a strong customer base across the surrounding area.

The business benefits from a beautifully presented showroom showcasing over 250 premium products, supported by exclusive supplier relationships with leading brands within the sector. These agreements provide a strong competitive advantage and help position the business as a trusted destination for high-quality heating and fireplace solutions.

The operation is highly organised, with a smooth customer journey from initial enquiry through to installation. Deposits are taken upfront, bespoke orders are paid in advance, and payments are handled by card or BACS, supporting strong cash flow and minimal cash handling. A fully integrated system is used to manage orders, installations and compliance requirements, while an automated servicing reminder process helps generate valuable repeat income.

The business also benefits from long-standing relationships with builders, tradespeople and local developments, creating a steady stream of referrals and repeat recommendations. Despite limited digital marketing to date, the business continues to perform strongly, largely through word of mouth and its excellent local reputation.

There is clear scope for a new owner to build further on these foundations by increasing digital marketing activity, extending opening hours, developing the servicing revenue stream and further promoting higher-value products such as media walls and fire surrounds.

The business is available on a leasehold basis, with the option to acquire the freehold property by separate agreement.
