Suffolk Based (Business to be Relocated)

Established in 1999, Simply Shutters is a reputable, family-run business located in Brandon, Suffolk. Known for its craftsmanship and quality, Simply Shutters is one of the UK's leading manufacturers and distributors of UPVC exterior decorative window shutters, louvre doors and accessories. The company is synonymous with both excellence and innovation, offering a range of bespoke products designed to enhance the aesthetic appeal of residential and commercial properties. With an excellent reputation in the market of decorative shutters, this sale represents a unique opportunity for an entrepreneur or existing company to expand in the home improvement sector. If a buyer is primarily interested in the shutter division, the owners are open to selling this part of the business separately.

THE BUSINESS

Simply Shutters specialises in producing maintenance-free UPVC decorative shutters in a variety of styles and colours, ensuring a durable, long-lasting product for their customers. The company also stocks and supplies a comprehensive range of high-quality interior louvre doors, which are available in multiple sizes and finishes. The doors, made from natural pine and engineered for longevity, add both style and functionality to any home, and Simply Shutters offers over 64 variations with customisation options.

The business is known for its exclusive rights to distribute two unique products in the UK and Eire, giving it a distinct competitive advantage. Additionally, their Town & Country shutters-offered in both synthetic and redwood materials-are available in a range of colours and styles, catering to the growing demand for bespoke exterior solutions. They also provide security grilles for homes and businesses, further diversifying its product range. As a specialist in this niche market, Simply Shutters has secured strong relationships with suppliers, ensuring a reliable supply of quality materials.

Operating a highly successful, relocatable business model, allows a buyer to continue operations from any location. This flexibility makes it ideal for integration into an existing business or for setting up in a new location. Financially, Simply Shutters is robust, showing consistently high margins and a healthy EBITDA, supported by a large and loyal customer base. The majority of sales (95%) come from retail customers, providing a steady, reliable revenue stream. With a bespoke CRM system in place to manage customer interactions efficiently, the business is well-structured for continued success.

The vendor is open to discussing options for splitting the business. Should a buyer be solely interested in the shutters side of the operation, they would be willing to sell this aspect independently, excluding the door and grille divisions if those are not of interest. This offers flexibility for buyers who may wish to focus on the core decorative shutter products, which have made Simply Shutters a leader in the market.
