Ref. EB064
Location : East of England
Asking Price : £600,000 (plus NAV)
Turner Butler has been appointed to invite offers of purchase for this established and highly profitable specialist vaping business that has an excellent customer base and established retail and website presence.
This business was set up by the owner 7 years ago Having worked with a number of global manufacturers and carrying out extensive international due diligence, the owner established a business to provide the best vaporisers and the finest naturally derived flavours in the market as well as a range of accessories and support.
The business has grown predominantly through word of mouth and repeat business. All the staff are experienced advisers in the vaping industry and have a wide breath of knowledge on specialist products.
Expansion Potential
Key growth areas are expanding the retail shops where there is outside parking
Expansion of retail ‘pods’ in shopping centres where footfall is high.
Expanding the advice and chat forums on the current website to drive more traffic to the online and retail shops
This is an ideal opportunity for a specialist bolt on to an existing vaping business or as a stand alone investment.
Market / Competition / Non-Competition Agreements
The business has historically relied on repeat business and a large percentage of turnover is from existing clients. The owner has invested funds into a dedicated website which consistently produces between £2,000 and £2,500 sales per month.
Given the nature of the product there are strict regulations and restrictions on certain forms of advertising.
Further marketing efforts could be developed with online tutorials, blogs and vaping forums.
