CRAFT DESIGN BUSINESS FOR SALE. Run from serviced office in Sheffield but can be relocated anywhere.

An exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic entrepreneur to take over a charming and creative craft design business with a strong reputation in the marketplace. Established and operated by our clients for several years, the business has built a loyal following and a distinctive brand identity. Currently, the business is run on a very limited basis due to the owner’s other commitments, meaning there is significant untapped potential for growth. A more hands-on owner-operator could quickly scale operations and restore the business to its previous higher turnover levels. Latest accounts show an annual turnover of £38,252, with historical figures demonstrating the ability to achieve substantially higher revenues. Low overheads and flexible operating model allow for strong profit margins. The business currently operates from serviced premises in Sheffield under a monthly rental agreement. However, given the nature of the business, it can be relocated and operated from anywhere in the UK. This presents a potential cost saving of approximately £5,400 per annum in rent alone, offering new owners the flexibility to run the business from home or alternative premises. The business specialises in crafting stamps and dies templates – high-quality, creative designs for hobbyists and craft enthusiasts. Turnover is generated predominantly by online sales, supported by regular advertising / live demonstration slots on the craft shopping channel, HobbyMaker TV, ensuring strong brand visibility. The business enjoys an established and loyal customer base with 1,000+ email subscribers, with high engagement levels, evidenced by an impressive click-through rate (CTR). It has a strong online presence via its Website, Facebook and YouTube channels, together with high visibility within the crafting community. Additional potential to expand through social media, influencer partnerships, and additional TV advertising. This business is oozing potential for a motivated new owner. Opportunities include expanding product lines and introducing complementary craft items, increasing marketing activity and leveraging social media platforms, hosting workshops or online tutorials to build community engagement and exploring wholesale partnerships and collaborations with craft retailers. This is a rare chance to acquire a creative, flexible business with a proven track record and significant growth prospects. Ideal for someone passionate about crafts and design, looking to turn their hobby into a thriving enterprise.
