Business Executive Summary:
Founded in 2021, the business has built a strong reputation for delivering cost-effective and sustainable office solutions to SMEs, corporates, schools, government bodies, and the NHS.
These Sustainable Office Furniture Suppliers s a profitable and established supplier of quality used and refurbished furniture, with a growing operation in drop shipping new furniture.
Operating from two leased warehouses in Croydon, the company combines efficient in-house logistics with flexible freelance support.
For example, branded chairs acquired for £7–£10 are routinely resold for £150+, while boardroom sets obtained free of charge can achieve sales of up to £1,950. This unique sourcing model ensures consistently high profitability and resilience.
Financially, the business has delivered reliable performance, with turnover peaking at £298,000 in 2022/23, alongside an owner’s salary of £45k–£65k.
The most recent year saw turnover of £178,000, reflecting part-time operation and no advertising expenditure, rather than reduced demand. With dedicated management and investment in marketing, significant growth potential exists.
The customer base is diverse and loyal, ranging from individuals to major organisations such as the NHS, London Fire Brigade, and schools nationwide. Sales are generated almost entirely through organic channels—company website, eBay, Gumtree, and referrals—with no PPC, SEO, or social media campaigns, leaving substantial scope for expansion.
Included in the sale there are over £100,000 in stock, a well-established website, eBay store, supplier and customer databases, and proven operational systems. The current owner will provide up to three months’ transitional support.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a scalable, profitable business with strong financial foundations, exceptional margins, and significant untapped growth potential.
