Florist in Eastbourne For Sale

Business description

Our clients established the floristry business in December 2004 and are now selling the business and property to pursue their own separate careers. The shop provides flowers for all occasions including weddings and funerals, and there are also contacts with local solicitors and estate agents. We understand that the average spend from individual customers is approximately £35 per person as the business is one of quality rather than quantity.

The business is virtually staff run and is in need of new “hands on” owners to boost sales and also save on current staff costs (subject to any employment protection the staff may enjoy).

Current annual accounts are awaited but we understand that sales are in the region of £65,000 for the last financial year.
