Mobility Equipment Retail Business in Chard, Somerset For Sale

CoGoGo is delighted to welcome to the market this well-established mobility equipment retail business in Chard, Somerset. The business was established by our clients` in 1993 with a small team of specialist staff, who have over 50 years of combined experience in working with people with disabilities. The business is only now being offered to the market due to our clients` desire for a well-earned retirement. The business is open 5½ days per week and generates a turnover in the region of £286,812 per annum, with a gross profit of approximately 41%.

Our clients offer a wide range of mobility aids and equipment including walking sticks, walking frames, bathroom and toilet accessories, bath lifts, padded seats, wheeled walkers, toilet frames and rails, a wide variety of mobile and luxury commode chairs, wheelchairs and scooters. The business are BHTA members and one of only 50 UK companies to be part of the Mobility Scheme to ensure people with disabilities a higher quality of independent living. The property benefits from a 2 bedroom flat to the first floor, which is currently let out, but could be used as owners` accommodation.

The business has an excellent reputation within the area for the high quality of the goods and services available, which has resulted in a very loyal client base with a lot of repeat custom, as well as word of mouth referrals. We feel the turnover could be increased by extending the opening hours and opening all day Saturday. The business already has an excellent website in place to promote the goods and services offered, which we feel would benefit from online ordering facilities. This is an excellent opportunity for a new owner to take this popular and thriving business to the next level; therefore early viewing must come highly recommended.

The business is owner run and managed with one staff member.
