Growth and expansion: there are huge expansion opportunities available to a new owner.

The vendor also believes that there is room to increase the scale of charges it currently has which would result in improved profitability. The development of sample sales is another obvious revenue stream, something the vendor has not really pursued over the last few years through choice. To date the majority of this businesses clinets have been based in europe(italy, france, germany, holland, spain, portugal, belgium etc). North america represents a huge untapped market for this company.
