Furniture manufacturer and retailer

The businesses benefit from a reliable and growing customer base that is increasingly demanding products from UK suppliers, providing a superb opportunity to capture greater market share.

By the current directors’ admission, the businesses have suffered from underinvestment for some time. A cash injection would enable them to seize many new opportunities, such as manufacturing a wider range of products, selling direct to B2C consumers to increase margins, and growing visibility through marketing.

These businesses would be a great fit for a specifier, or a manufacturer of similar or complementary products who wishes to increase production.

Highlights –

• Two businesses with distinct markets (B2B businesses and upholstery manufacturers)
• Strong USPs: own manufacturing facilities help to provide a flexible approach to customer requirements and timeframes
• Solid customer base of repeat B2B clients

Opportunities –

• Increasing the range of products to grow profits
• Selling directly to B2C to increase profit margins
• Building a marketing strategy to increase reach and sales

One director wishes to stay on, which would help ensure an orderly transfer of operations to new owners.
