CoGoGo is delighted to present to the market Elegant Stems Floral Design, a highly regarded family run florist business established by our clients over 15 years ago.
The ‘Turn-key’ business opportunity is now being offered for sale due to the retirement of one of the owners, who identified the growth potential of the business is now best for a new owner with a fresh pair of eyes!
The reputation of the business has organically grown over the years with an un-rivalled choice of luxury wedding flowers coupled with exquisite ideas, friendly personal service, and the best quality flowers they can source.
The business had previously been driven by local wedding work with 75% of the turnover been derived from this lucrative side of the business along with local deliveries and funerals.
We are advised throughout the 2020 lockdown period, our clients invested £5,000 onto a new website with an online ordering facility. This has proven very successful and increased the delivery sales by £32,000 compared to the previous year which looking at the exceptional customer reviews should continue in 2021.
Our clients admit due to family reasons they have run the business more to suit and turned down requests for further work outside the local area and concentrate on a smaller number of weddings.
Key selling points include –
There are also plans for a new wedding/events/hotel on the site which of course would directly impact the demand for future wedding/events work.
