Local Business for sale - suit a recent retiree


Plough Man

Recommended Posts

Established and successful locally based e-Commerce business for sale in a few weeks time as a going concern.


This business would ideally suit a recently retired person eg someone who wants to stay active and derive a steady income from their own home-based business. It requires very little physical effort and no great strength or stamina is needed so it could suit someone who is partially disabled. Only basic computer skills are involved for order processing and emailing responses using templates.


No selling is involved as all orders come in from the internet automatically. Order processing is integrated with the web site. Similarly labels & postage are automated with RM. and The routine tasks include packing, stock control, record keeping and despatches. All that is required is a commitment to the task in hand. Product and market knowledge and training will be provided.


The business is profitable and just under the VAT threshold. It handles a limited range of products that are non-seasonal, not subject to either obsolescence or fashion trends. Product range comprises one market-leading brand and other in-house products.


It has a fully developed website plus Ebay accounts. All Ebay accounts have Top Rated Seller Status (TRS) resulting in reduced fees. Likewise, discounts on PayPal and Royal Mail. Comes complete with registered trade marks, web domains and equipment.


The beauty of this business is that it can easily be stopped and started to allow time off for holidays. Daily & weekly work load can be varied to suit personal preferences.


If you are interested, please get in touch but only respond if you are seriously looking for a business of this type. No chancers or time-wasters please.


For an initial expression of interest, all I need is a PM with your first name only, contact number and a brief r?sum?. Then we can arrange to meet.


Note ? any detailed disclosure of the business details will be subject to signing of ?Confidentiality? and ?Non-compete? agreements.

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
