Description:
Advent Business Sales are delighted to offer
to the market this extremely well established
and popular bicycle shop, which has been
trading profitably for the last 27 years.
Our client has a superb local reputation and
has the added benefit of being the sole
distributor in the region for ‘Giant’ and
‘Claude Butler’ bikes.
The shop was founded by our client and is
only now being reluctantly offered for sale
as he wishes to retire.
The business has an extensive stock of adult
bikes for sale, will repair any type and also
offers a range of accessories and even has
cycle hire.
The shop has an excellent web site with high
visitor numbers, with the business being the
only one in the city to offer cycle hire, which
has proven to be very popular and lucrative.
The business also has an ongoing contract
for the supply and repair of cycles to Thames
Valley Police.
We are advised that stock at cost is
approximately £50,000.
The premises have the added security of
being alarmed and having CCTV with 4
cameras and 24 hour recording.

EXPANSION POTENTIAL
Whilst the business is very successful and
earns excellent profits, there is still good
potential to increase sales and profits by:
1. Having finance available for the
purchase of cycles
2. Advising and advertising the cycle
registration scheme, which is a tax
efficient way of buying a cycle
3. Pushing the point that they are the
only registered retailer for Giant and
Claude Butler cycles.
STAFF DETAILS
The business employs one full time employee
and four part time, each working
approximately 25 hours per week and the

gross profit of circa £167,000.
