these two family owned and run businesses were established in 2000 and 2006 respectively and are to be sold together. The two businesses are highly complementary to one another and both operate from a highly visible commercial unit on a modern trading estate, with both trading in the motorcycle sector. One business provides very lucrative motorcycle training through their fleet of 11 motorcycles, whilst the other provides the sales of new and used motorcycles, mopeds and scooters, plus accessories and repairs etc. Via their well equipped in-house repair facility. The owners have grown the businesses with great energy, enthusiasm and dynamic ability and, even through the current trying economic climate, the businesses have maintained admirable growth. The motorcycle rider training business operates from the mezzanine level of this attractive commercial unit and contains a classroom facility and offices, whilst the motorcycle centre operates from the ground floor with a modern showroom and counter facility with display area and, to the rear, a motorcycle repair workshop complete with large toolbox and repair ramp. The usual toilet and kitchen facilities complete the picture here. The owner, being a qualified instructor, helps the training facility along with the services of 5 trusted and qualified sub-contract instructors. The motorcycle centre has approved dealer status for boatian and peugeot motorcycles. This dual offering is turn key ready and has been very sensibly priced by its owners to encourage a smooth and uncomplicated sale. Early inspection is therefore highly recommended. Customer service: this package of two businesses, which could easily be combined if required, have earned themselves enviable reputations in the local community. This is evidenced through the steady growth shown, which has been supported by much repeat business and word of mouth recommendation, and yet not supported by the usual supplementary marketing and advertising, which has never been felt to be necessary by the current owners. Equipment: the two business own and maintain extensive inventories of machinery, tooling, fixtures and fittings etc. Which are to be included in a successful sale package. Main items include:- training • 2 x honda pan european with fully fitted vox radio equipment • 2 x suzuki gs500 • 1 x honda 125 • 2 x honda cb500 • 2 x honda sr125 • 2 x sachs 50 • 9 x short wave one way radios, ear pieces and belts • 9 x flourescent waistcoats (liveried) • 5 x helmets (trainees) • 3 x instructor jackets • overhead projector • whiteboards • dvd player • computer • trainee lockers • water cooler • office desks and chairs, plus other fixtures and fittings • literature and stationary • database motorcycle sales centre • motor cycle lift • tool cabinet and tools • benches plus fixtures and fittings • computer • cold drinks cabinet • telephone system inc. Switchboard • credit card terminal • electronic till register • day safe • database • fully liveried ford transit van equipped for motorcycle recovery (by separate negotiation) growth and expansion: growth is happening naturally and organically here. However, with a more focussed approach, fresh energy and with further investment in stock etc. There is great potential for further growth in both business areas.
