Description

INDEPENDENT PET STORE in East Yorkshire for Sale.

Established back in 1998 and being offered on the market for the very first time, this outstanding pet store is highly regarded and is only being sold because the owners now wish to retire. This is probably the most comprehensively equipped and stocked pet store in the north of England and its success is largely due to its extensive stock of everything animal, bird, fish and reptile related. An impressive feed barn, which was added just a few short years ago, stocks a huge range of foods for pets, farm animals and large animals. The store carries a huge choice of treats, accessories and healthcare items. This is a one-stop shop for all your needs, offering a range of goods from a dog chew to elaborate designer fish tanks, bird cages and vivarium’s, plus live animals ranging from a tree frog to a bearded dragon. The store also produces its own brand of dog foods, catering for every breed, from a Chihuahua to a Great Dane. Not only does the business provide a vital service to the many surrounding towns, villages and farms in the region, but its close proximity to major roads and links to the motorway system makes it an interesting destination place for families to visit and see the many types of live animals on show. Detailed Profit and Loss Accounts for the business show very steady year on year annual sales turnover of circa £575,000. Full accounts will be made available to seriously interested parties following a formal viewing of the business and premises. The business has an eBay shop, as well as via its own website. This is an area that has huge scope for development by enterprising and ambitious new owners. To date, the business has attracted 57,000 individual sales on eBay.
Detached retail warehouse premises of approximately 433 sq m (4,660 sq ft) incorporating open plan ground floor retail area, storage rooms, managers office and staff toilets. There exists a first floor which is currently being used to store goods, but has historically been used as the owners private flat. This could be easily converted back to accommodate the new owners or a member of staff (this first floor is available as an optional extra and is in addition to the lease and rent quoted). Additional warehouse incorporates the feed barn. This is approximately 104 sq m (1,120 sq ft), of steel construction and with commercial vehicle height loading doors and roller shutters.

Selling a Business?

Selling a business in the UK? We’ll be with you every step of the way

Selling any business can be a daunting task, but even more so when you’ve worked hard to build your own. That’s why finding the right business transfer agent is so important; you need to trust that you are working with people who have your best interests at heart.

That’s exactly what you’ll find at Ernest Wilson. Our clients’ interests are at the forefront of everything we do, and we’re pleased to have built a reputation based on our passion for what we do, implicit trustworthiness and thousands of recommendations over the last 60 years. Selling your business can be a time of mixed emotions, but we’ll be with you every step of the way.

Ernest Wilson is the leading business transfer agent with offices throughout the UK. We will never ask for payment in advance, not only do we have the necessary expertise to correctly value your business, we also have the resources to professionally market that business and obtain the best possible price in the market.

No advance payments

We don’t believe in asking for payment in advance, so we simply won’t do it. We often find that those who do are more interested in obtaining your signature than finding you a buyer, leaving their clients underwhelmed by the lack of advertising and efforts put in to selling their business.

Our advice is straight forward: if an agent asks for any payment from you in advance, don't use that agent.

Confidential, discreet support

Selling your business calls for discretion balanced with commerciality. We know that simply putting up a For Sale sign often does little more than set tongues wagging and unsettle your staff, and we’re pleased that we sell over 99% of businesses without the need for one.

We don’t give out details of your business to a potential buyer unless they are registered with us. Only then will they receive the full particulars of sale on your business. Our drive, passion and attention to detail in selling your business means we’ll only introduce it to people who are the very best fit.

Unrivalled, interested contacts

Our database of potential buyers is unrivalled by other transfer agents, and we’re proud of our relationships with potential buyers that allow us to understand exactly what they are looking for – meaning we can sell your business faster.

We offer local, regional and online advertising, and have extensive links to finance through a variety of financial institutions which help to complete your sale.
