Genuine retirement sale after many successful years trading in same hands with early interest strongly advised REF MOB1297

Though by its very nature eminently relocatable throughout the region, the business currently operates from a home office base situated in the vibrant satellite town in County Durham, which lies with excellent access both to major road and motorway links (A688, A689, A167 and A1M junction 60 and 61 etc.) and to the nearby centres of Bishop Auckland and the historic university and cathedral city of Durham (approximately 7 miles) in the Wear Valley area of County Durham.

My Own Business Sales are delighted to present this excellent opportunity to acquire a thriving commercial proposition of real quality and outstanding future possibilities, which we are confident you will agree represents genuine value.

This long established and highly regarded business currently primarily conducts an extremely useful, popular and highly professional traditional private taxi and minibus hire operation for all occasions in a fleet of seven scrupulously maintained passenger service vehicles which are to be included in the sale price.

The business offers its services for short, medium and long distance purposes ranging from shopping trips, sporting and entertainment events, hen and stag parties and rail, airport, ferry and hospital transfers to weddings and regular school contract runs, with courier, prescription delivery and lone female priority services also available.

The Business provides its services for a long-standing and still-expanding regular ‘one off’ and contracting client base drawn from throughout a wide surrounding catchment area and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with considerable scope for continued growth, not least with regard to possible investment in additional vehicles and employed or self-employed staff in order to fully exploit year-round local and regional demand.

The business would also benefit by adopting a more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing services, particularly with reference to the possible introduction of online booking through its own informative dedicated website and to further development of its social media presence, in order to improve upon the already high levels of turnover it has achieved in the course of almost twenty successful years’ trading in the hands of the current proprietor, with the aid only of a small, experienced and motivated team of one full-time and three part-time staff who would be an asset to any purchaser.

Alternatively, this versatile proposition would most certainly appeal to some similar-sized or larger allied enterprise looking to significantly increase its existing share of the professional private hire solutions services market by the acquisition of a small, but dynamic and easily relocatable additional independent operator with a priceless local name and a long established client base, and we would strongly urge any genuine interested parties to pursue the earliest possible enquiries.

*We are further informed that a substantial fleet of seven scrupulously maintained passenger service vehicles is to be included in the sale price, including 4, 6, 8-seater and minibus options, along with all the ancillary equipment necessary for the successful operating of the business, further details of which will be made available upon request to any genuine interested parties.
