Hilton Smythe welcomes to the market Paws Pet Transport Ltd. The company was originally established by our clients in 2015, only now does the business come to market due to health issues.
The business trades as a pet transport company covering the EU. The revenue stream comes from general customers and a number of contracts with overseas rescue centres.
The day to day running of the business entails dealing with customer and rescue bookings. The company takes a deposit to secure the booking and full payment is taken before the transport. The transportation of the pets is carried out in a large 5 star, purpose fitted vans, which is fully equipped with air conditioning and heating. The main goal is to make the travel as stress free and comfortable for the pets and also include regular exercise stops. The vehicles are approved by Defra.
The pets transported are generally cats and dogs, however the business does try to cater for all animals and has transported other animals, including a Donkey from Italy to Spain.
There is ample scope to increase the already thriving turnover, our client advises with the introduction of more vehicles and staff the business could easily be taken to the next level, as there is ample custom, along with other rescues that have approached the company to potentially work with. There is also options to increase the catchment area and embark on marketing campaigns.
The company currently advertises through their own website and social media, with Facebook being the predominant platform of custom.
Our client has streamlined the booking process to make running the business as efficient as possible, a hand over period will be offered at time of sale should the purchaser desire.
