Business profile:
Ideally situated on a busy main road in North West London, this business was established in 1992 as a traditional litho print company, serving the ethnic Chinese community.

From single colour to full colour, from a few hundred flyers to thousands of colour brochures everything is here. The whole process is managed in-house, from the initial plate making right through to collation and finishing.

Supported by an in-house design, artwork and typesetting team, the business produces Business Stationery, Invoice Books, Letterheads, Labels, Envelopes, Leaflets, Flyers, Books and Programmes plus Raffle Tickets, Corporate Identities, Folders, Inserts, Greetings Cards and Full Colour Brochures and Magazines.

Competition:

Having been established over 16 years this business does little by way of advertising, enjoying high levels of repeat business and the most effective form of marketing, word of mouth recommendation, testimony to the excellent reputation this business has for its unique, high quality product range and customer service. It is likely that investment in the web site incorporating an on-line quotation facility would raise its profile further afield with a consequent impact on turnover and profitability.

Growth Potential:

The printing market still shows excellent growth potential for those businesses satisfying the current and future demand for competitive, high quality solutions with a rapid turnaround, this business provides an excellent opportunity for those with vision and customer focus. Greater advertising, aggressive selling and updated web site will all prove to be highly beneficial in increased turnover and profits, making this a highly desirable acquisition for an individual/partnership, or as a bolt on to an existing operation.

Training/Support:

The current owner will provide a handover period and all relevant contacts to ensure continuity of trading.

Sale Reason:

This is a genuine retirement sale
