CoGoGo is delighted to welcome to the market this popular and busy florist business, which is ideally located within the village of Crowthorne, Berkshire. The business was established by our client in 2006 and is only now being offered to the market, due to our client’s impending marriage. The business currently operates 6 days per week and generates a turnover in the region of £83,000, with a gross profit of approximately 30%, as per the 2016 accounts. Our client offers individually created flowers for every occasion including bouquets, bespoke funeral displays, wedding bouquets and balloons to name a few. The property is very well maintained, decorated to a high standard and fitted out to suit the trade with bespoke shelving and floral displays throughout. This is a very successful florist business with 60% being contract work with four local funeral directors, local businesses and offices. 40% is walk-in trade and deliveries using a liveried van, which covers a 10-mile radius. This is soon to be the only florist in Crowthorne, within a home development zone, with over 500 new homes being planned, which will also offer local businesses a share in the improvement scheme of communal areas. The business has built up an excellent reputation within the area for the high quality of the goods and services offered, which has resulted in a very loyal client base, with a high volume of repeat trade and word of mouth recommendations. We feel there is scope to increase the turnover by increasing the areas covered for weddings and funerals. A new owner could also embark on a modest marketing campaign, perhaps by having a leaflet drop within the area. The florist already has an excellent website in place to advertise the business at www.anewbloom.info, which could incorporate online ordering facilities. This is an excellent opportunity for a new owner, perhaps a husband and wife team or partnership, to take this already thriving business to the next level; therefore, early discussions with CoGoGo must come highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
