CoGoGo welcomes to the market The Flower Workshop. The business was originally established by our client in 2012. The owner is now looking to sell the florist, due to family commitments. Over the years this business has grown in popularity and our client is unable to run the florist to its fullest potential. The business runs as a florist selling an excellent variety of products such as, plants, gifts, home gift ideas, planters, candles and even garden ornaments. The business currently provides flowers of an average of one wedding per week, in the summer months, as well as funerals and parties including arrangements for local private schools. The business generates an advised turnover of around £153,000 per annum, with a gross profit of 35%. We are advised that the turnover is increasing year on year, our client has seen rapid growth. The turnover is split approximately 30% deliveries and 70% retail trade. Although the business has an excellent turnover we feel there are several ways in which trade could be increased- More advertising, such as bouquets on the websiteE-commerce website, to allow for more bookingsOffer private home flower arrangementsGet contracts with builders, for new build show homesIncrease deliveriesOffer Christmas hampersApproach local businesses, such as more funeral directorsAttend wedding fairs The new owner should look into some of these options. The business offers deliveries to approximately a 10 mile radius. Deliveries are done in a leased sign written van, the new owner can take over the lease. We are advised that our client had contracts with builders for new build properties, in show homes. This is a great option that the new owner should look into again. We are advised that the town is forever expanding and there are 800 new homes being built within the next few years. Our client is a member of the world’s largest and most experienced flower delivery network. This is a fantastic opportunity that is not to be missed. CoGoGo highly advise early viewing to take in the full potential of the trade.
