A profitable commercial interior fit-out and refurbishment company based in Milton Keynes

High profits, low fixed costs

The shareholding directors in the business are responsible for the strategic and financial management of the business however they do this in close consultation with their staff.

There are 4 permanent members of staff other than the shareholding directors whose responsibilities encompass all aspects of trading except for making the final decision on strategic and financial issues. They all know the business very well however so they could be trained on this very quickly by a new owner.

All work is carried out by contractors – there are no salaried on-site staff. Most of the contractors our client works with have a 10yr+ supply relationship. Occasionally, new contractors are tested out and retained if they meet quality & pricing targets.

A cash-generative business poised for growth

The future under new ownership is exciting. Revamping the website and introducing a sales manager and team could easily be paid for from cash flow. The brand’s high standing in the industry lends itself to the addition of extra services like mezzanine floor planning, pallet racking and shelving systems.

In addition, the commercial property remodelling sector is expected to undergo a boom in coming years as companies seek to attract staff back to the office.

The company has positive cash flows meaning that the hiring of a head of sales, running marketing campaigns and purchasing leads from 3rd party sources can be paid for with normql trading.

Our client has chosen to focus exclusively on office fit-outs, refurbishments and alterations. While many of their competitors do the same, others offer a wider range of related services including but not limited to:

• Mezzanine flooring
• Office partitions
• Pallet racking
• Shelving systems
• Steel partitions
• Workplace equipment
• Warehouse solutions

Not only would a new owner have our client’s customers and prospects to approach with these services, but they could also sell more to them because they’d be approaching the market with our client’s strong brand name and reputation for quality.
