This business specialises in providing upholstery tools and materials for DIY enthusiasts, including hobbyists, students, and professionals in the upholstery industry.
Originally founded in 1989 as a furniture restoration and upholstery service, the company has grown into a reputable supplier offering over 1,500 products through its comprehensive online platform.
The company's clients range from DIY enthusiasts and upholstery students to professional upholsterers and interior designers. With excellent customer reviews and a substantial subscriber base for its newsletter, the business has a solid market presence
This presents a prime opportunity for an entrepreneurial individual or team to acquire a thriving niche enterprise with a strong reputation and significant growth potential.
The current owner is committed to supporting a smooth transition by working with the team, allowing new ownership to seamlessly build upon the business’s established success.
The business offers a wide range of upholstery supplies, including tools and materials, available exclusively online.
Operating from a well organised unit in Ellesmere, Shropshire, the business has cultivated a loyal customer base across the UK.
It boasts an impressive inventory and a robust e-commerce platform that handles a steady flow of orders, averaging 743 monthly post-pandemic. Notably, the business saw a spike in activity during the COVID-19 pandemic, which highlights its adaptability and the ongoing demand for its products.
The team comprises the owner, who manages stock and orders, alongside three part-time staff members who handle purchasing, marketing, sales, and accounts.
There is considerable scope for expanding this niche business through increased marketing efforts, both online and offline, to attract more customers. The company could enhance its digital presence through social media campaigns and targeted advertising, leveraging its already strong reputation and high customer retention.
Expanding the range of products and services, including potentially reintroducing upholstery and furniture restoration services, could diversify revenue streams and appeal to a broader market.
The current location in Ellesmere is advantageous, but the business's online nature also makes it potentially relocatable, offering flexibility for future expansion.
