Low overheads
Relocatable
Well established
Profitable
Minimal Borrowings
Loyal staff

Growth and Expansion:

This business has been managed to a size suitable for the director’s own requirements. It is constantly turning away business and could easily increase its volume turnover by taking on more staff to cope with the demand. The business has been approached by additional Local Authorities to handle some of their work but has chosen to contain its operations. The addition of an employee to handle enquiries and a couple of extra plumbers would allow the business to grow quite quickly. It is noteworthy to mention that this company has never had to advertise its services.
