BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Online Removal/Storage Boxes & Packing Materials Supplier for House Moves
–Superb Highly Valued Search Engine Listings-
Ref.GI044
Location Relocatable
Asking Price £ 48,000
This young and dynamic business was set up by the vendor some two years ago and and specialises in the online supply of packing materials and accessories for moving home. It is a pure e-commerce business with very low overheads, no stock holding and a captive B2C UK market place.

All revenues are generated by online sales via its own very impressive website that the company has built and developed over time, so much so that it enjoys highly valuable organic listings for many key terms within the major internet search engines. Items are delivered utilising a third party delivery service. No stock is held, the business model uses white label drop shipping

The owner utilises a very simple and effective e-commerce platform to run the business.
This means the business is totally portable and scaleable. Its historical customer base, and supply chain for that matter, has grown year on year and it enjoys impressive levels of profitability that could be further enhanced through in house stock holding and delivery. It has low fixed costs and is simple to run. All sales are retail which ensures the business enjoys good levels of profitability and postive cashflow.

The business model has been put in place. It is ripe for a new owner to utilise the superb and highly valuable positioning this company has developed online to either bolt on to an existing operation or for a new owner to scale up the business to maximise the many opportunities already at its disposal.

Expansion Potential
There are many new opportunities available to grow the business as it is a truly scaleable operation. A new owner could certainly increase the product offering further to include other ancillary items as well as increasing profitability by stocking in house.
The continued move to online for all aspects of moving home and affiliated service provision has seen an increase in traffic. More and more clients are moving to a lower cost moving option whereby they must source their own materials rather than having them provided. This leads potential clients online where they compare solely on price.
It could be the ideal portal for a manufacturing base, or wholesale operation for that matter to bolt on as a new route to market if they are not already utilising online sales techniques.
The foundations are in place for a new owner wishing to expand the business and take it through its next natural period of growth and increased profitability. There are many avenues to develop this as highlighted above.

Market / Competition / Non-Competition Agreements
The business is 100% geared to online sales and marketing. As already mentioned the business’s own website enjoys very impressive organic rankings and also does its own manual SEO. This could easily be ramped up should a new owner so wish.
