Business description

After selling approximately half of its business in 2023, the company has concentrated its efforts on its remaining operations: the supply of metal powders in small order sizes.

Dominant Market Position:
• Operates in a niche below major manufacturers, the business has effectively dominated this segment of the UK market for the products it supplies for many years.
• Holds a distribution agreement with a large metal powder manufacturer for small quantity orders.
• Supplements the range from other manufacturers to offer a wide range of metal powders.
Long Standing Customer Base:
• Served over 200 customers in 2024.
• 44% of sales in 2024 came from overseas markets, highlighting strong international reach.
• Generates a reliable income stream with high repeat sales.
Exceptional Service and Reputation:
• Known for exceptional service, high stock availability, and a focus on smaller customers who benefit from next-day lead times and competitive pricing.
• A reputation based on 80 years in the industry, with a strong brand and customer loyalty.
• Simple to manage with only three employees, with low operational complexity.
Significant Growth Potential:
• Opportunity to expand market share by investing in marketing, particularly in search engine optimisation and enhancing e-commerce efforts.
• Potential to increase sales in overseas markets, capitalising on existing international relationships.
• The business could easily integrate into a larger organisation, providing immediate benefits from synergies and expanded resources.
Flexible Operations:
• Currently operates under a fully serviced lease but can be easily relocated, offering flexibility for future expansion or integration.
This is a unique opportunity to acquire an easy to manage, profitable, well-established business with a dominant market position.
Offers are invited.
