Re-Locatable Online Wine Merchant Business For Sale

Hilton Smythe is delighted to welcome to the market this very popular and busy online wine merchant business, which is fully re-locatable. The business was established by our client in 2010 and is only now being offered to the market due to our client`s other business interests. The business operates all year long and generates a turnover in the region of £30,000 per annum, with a gross profit of approximately 45%. When our client acquired the business he established a brand new website from scratch, using a top design company. The new site had custom functionality programmed into it and has a great modern look. A creative company was hired to give the branding a refresh and to help with the website layout. Top quality professionals were used for the re-design at a costs of £20,000. All the storage and distribution of the goods are currently taken care of by a third party and our client could introduce a new owner if required. Our client currently has two suppliers in place, both of which are very well-respected importers who have vast selections of high quality wine. Our client offers a wide variety of premium high quality wines and champagne at excellent prices from all across the world, and an inventory of the wines is available by request. The business is not a wine club, there are no direct debits taken and there are no fake offers made, which makes the business very unique within the industry. The business has built up an excellent reputation, which has resulted in a very loyal client base and word of mouth recommendations. The business is already well-established with a very large client base. We feel there is excellent scope to increase the turnover as our client has other business interests, which limits the time he can devote to this project. A new owner could expand on the choice of wines offered, as well as advertising on the very popular website Amazon, as in the past our client found this extremely effective. A new owner could also expand the marketing through social media websites, such as Facebook, Twitter Linked-in and You Tube. Although the business is not currently trading through the business website at www.mollybrownswinelist.co.uk, it is extensive and very informative about all the wines for sale with descriptive bullet points so customers can match to their tastes or food being served. This is an excellent start-up opportunity for anyone looking to start a business of their own, or as a bolt-on opportunity for an already established e-commerce business or wine merchant. This is an excellent opportunity for a new owner with drive and enthusiasm to take this business to the next level; therefore early viewing must come highly recommended.

The business is owner run and managed with 1 x staff member.

The business operates all year long.

Molly Brown`s Wine List is a very popular online wine retail business, which is currently run from our client`s home address in Lancashire, although could be re-located to anywhere within the United Kingdom, or even abroad.
