Very rarely do E-commerce business models of this type and long trading history come onto the open market and we therefore recommend early enquiry to avoid disappointment.
Mercia Golf is currently operated from our client’s home in Coventry however, the nature of the business allows the business to be transferred to any new location across the country.
The business requires a small storage area/garage for stock holding.
We are informed all orders are packaged at home and then taken to the local post office to be delivered out to customers.
Majority of the customers are based in the UK however due to the quality of the products available, they have also sent orders internationally.
