Hilton Smythe are pleased to have been given the opportunity to manage the sale of Banners N Balloons Limited which is a well-established business with a renowned reputation amongst local residents. This is a superb opportunity to take on a high turnover local business in an area teeming with customers.

The business was founded by the current owner in 1991 and has flourished under his ownership with many regular and returning customers and turnover increasing significantly each year.

Alas the time has come to sell this wonderful business, only due to a wish to pursue a change in direction. The vendor is keen to see his beloved balloon, fancy dress and party shop pass to an ambitious and entrepreneurial new owner(s) who can take this already thriving business to the next level.

Banners N Balloons stocks a fantastic range of adult costumes, hen party accessories, stag do novelties and banners and balloons including balloon bouquets and personalised balloons. Additionally the business offers a range of additional services such as venue decoration, balloon release packs, corporate events and a delivery service.

The business offers an in house computer design service and offers a range of products including;

  • Printed Latex Balloons
  • Helium Rental
  • Personalised Foil Balloons
  • Halloween Costumes
  • Christmas Fancy Dress
  • Wigs and Makeup
  • Banners for indoor and outdoor use
The sale will include the company website (www.bannersandballoons.co.uk) and Facebook page and the business enjoys great visibility on the internet along with impressive reviews such as:

“Great experience, I’m from Nottingham and researched for a balloon shop prior to my arrival for my sister’s wedding to get some balloons last minute as a surprise! The chap in the shop was so helpful and gave the best advice based on the theme of the wedding. My sister and her fiancé absolutely loved the balloons. Thank you so much- highly recommended “

“We ordered balloons for our wedding from here at short notice and Donna was great, putting together just what we wanted. We bought the balloons home and they’re still up a month later. Would recommend“

Scope to improve - 

  • Advertising and marketing campaign
  • Maximise the use of social media particularly Twitter and Instagram
  • Introduce a floristry side to the business, real demand for this service which would have an immediate and significant effect on turnover
  • Add an e-commerce facility and upgrade website to enable on line sales for which there is real demand and again would have a significant effect on turnover
  • Explore online voucher discounters such as Wowcher and Groupon
  • Look at selling through Amazon and eBay
Reasons to Buy -

  • A well-established business with an enviable reputation and many existing customers
  • Current owner happy to offer a handover to ensure the continued success
  • Ideal owner managed or partnership business
  • A real opportunity to increase turnover and profits significantly, current owner has been running at a pace to suit
  • Prime trading position in the centre of Cheltenham with loads of footfall
  • There may be the possibility of purchasing the freehold in the future.
Very rarely do businesses of this calibre come to the open market, therefore early enquiry is highly recommended.

This lovely little business is likely to attract considerable interest.
