Starting from scratch isn't for everyone. Some people prefer to buy a business that is already established, with an existing customer base and then stamp their own character on it. So we've teamed up with Businessforsale.com to bring you a weekly look at a commercial opportunity that's currently up for grabs.
Whether it is down to Steve McQueen or Dennis Hopper, riding a motorbike has always been seen as a ‘cool’ pursuit. Of course, unlike the films you can’t just go riding down your high street with the wind flowing through your hair wearing t-shirt and shorts, so that is where clothing retailers like this retailer come in.
Situated in 4000 sq ft of prime North London showrooms, this thriving business has exploited the popularity of motorcycling by offering top of the range clothing and accessories to two-wheel fanatics across the country.
The business has been established for 25 years and considers itself to be the first port of call for motorcycle enthusiasts. As well as fully exploiting this niche market, the company has benefited from the fact that there are no major competitors in the area.
Close to main amenities and transport links, the firm employs four members of staff and currently opens 9.30am to 6pm on weekdays and 9.30am to 5.30pm on Saturdays. A new 10-year lease for the property is currently under negotiation.
The business also runs a successful website designed to boost sales.
Turnover currently stands at an impressive £1 million a year, with £155,000 made in net profit.
