Printing & Duplicating Services

Well-established, profitable, general printer Confidentially offered for sale Ref. no: IY066 Location: Kent Asking price: £140,000 Asking price includes: Turnover for the 2005/6 financial year of £110,000 Gross profits of almost £50,000 Conveniently located to service its predominantly local customer base, just off the M20, in Kent, this business was established in 1988 as a traditional, general commercial printer. Initially set up with just a handful of Clients, this business has grown organically and steadily to evolve as an indispensable supplier to a wide range of Clients delivering a comprehensive and varied range of print solutions. From single colour to full colour, from a few hundred flyers to thousands of colour brochures everything required to produce a high quality print job is here. The whole process is managed in-house, from the initial plate making right through to collation and finishing with the business’s machines conveniently ‘positioned’ beyond the capabilities of the shorter run digital presses and is therefore ideal for the production of the full colour stationery, promotional leaflets, menus, catalogues and brochures which makes up the staple diet of this business. This business prides itself on its quality of work and customer service with high volume work involving fast turnaround a particular speciality. Keeping delivery promises and ensuring a Client’s often ‘unrealistic’ schedule is met is at the core of this company’s philosophy. This business tries harder than the opposition to help clients out of tight corners and solves problems that others cannot handle, working approximately 40 hours per week to meet its Client’s ever demanding expectations. A varied base of long-term accounts, including a few graphic designers, but mainly end users in the form of local companies and some trade work, have all helped this business earn an impeccable reputation in its local area and makes certain that the business is not dependent on any one customer. This business enjoys a good spread of Clients with turnover split approximately 10% through agencies of one kind or another whilst the remaining 90% is directly with the end user. With turnover of £110,000 for the 2005/6 financial year generating a return of £25,000 for the owners of the business this is an excellent opportunity to acquire an established, profitable, commercial print business with a loyal and long-standing customer base.
