Urban Planters have an existing franchise business available for sale. This Resale has already been trading for six years and has an asking price of £250,000.
This family run business has been dynamically and energetically driven by the current owner for the last 6 years with the support of the UK's leading independent and fastest-growing interior landscaping company.
This well established company offers a stable income stream, mainly achieved through providing a high quality service, through fixed term contracts, which has resulted in a high level of customer loyalty and year on year portfolio growth.
The focus of the business is to provide an interior landscaping service to commercial properties such as Offices, Hotels, Restaurants, Leisure Clubs, Business centres and many more within the postcode areas of SO, PO and BH.
Through an established network of leading suppliers of interior landscaping, that have been approved by the franchisor, the business is able to offer an excellent range of interesting products to include an ever increasing range of live plants and containers, replica plant displays from around the world, all at excellent quality and value. Including the supply of these products, the company also offers a design and installation service to its clients and an ongoing maintenance service, of the plants and installation, through monthly visits, thus encouraging a personal relationship with its clients and creating a steady stream of regular income.
Operating under this established, well known brand, has enabled the company, together with the support and experience of the franchisor, to demonstrate consistent growth since inception. With proven methods and marketing strategies in place, also offers excellent opportunities for future growth, too.
A prior knowledge of horticulture is not essential, as full, in-house training is given, coupled with high quality, induction training, covering all aspects of business procedures, sales and marketing, to ensure a smooth transition.
The business, which could easily be run from home and is open to relocation, currently operates between the hours of 8am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, by a husband and wife team, who also employ one other full time member of staff. However, due to their intentions to move away from the area, they have decided to sell their business.
The asking price for this well established Urban Planters business is £250,000, and if you would like further information, a full prospectus along with supporting accounts can be made available.
Price: £250,000
What attracted me to an Urban Planters franchise, apart from its reputation, is the opportunity to run a business with a strong local identity while at the same time being part of a national network, with full support and training on offer.
