BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Carpet, Rug, Upholstery and Curtain Cleaning Business
Ref.AP021
Location Essex
Asking Price £ 475,000
This business has over the last 30 years developed a superb reputation mainly throughout Essex, but also Suffolk, Hertfordshire and London for its high quality carpet and upholstery cleaning. The business works on a daily basis with residential clients across several counties. The business also has numerous commercial clients with many businesses including golf clubs, offices restaurants and independent carpet retailers.
This is a highly professional business. The team of technicians are punctual, polite and most importantly deliver an excellent standard of work. The business has an extremely experienced team who have received high quality training. This experience communicates confidence to its clients. This results in a strong enquiry to sale ratio and a high level of customer satisfaction, which in turn leads to numerous referrals as well as strong levels of repeat business and several other ancillary services including flame-retardant anti-static treatments and flood restoration.
In addition to carpets, the business also cleans oriental rugs, upholstery, curtains and offers maintenance of hard floors. Scotchgard protection is available and is considered a standard part of the service.
The business provides a very broad range of services and will take on opportunities ranging from a single stain to the clean up of a complete property.
Expansion Potential
The business would benefit from an uplift in marketing and advertising activity. A telesales campaign is also something that should be seriously considered. The business has a database of 8000 and an obvious move would be to contact this large list of past clients. The business has not actively pursued larger contracts on the commercial side for over ten years. There is a strong argument to start working with larger businesses. There is also scope to increase the radius in which the business operates. The business focuses mainly on Essex, London and Suffolk at present.
