The Practice was established in 1870 and has been involved in many projects in the West Midlands. Its design expertise covers education, industrial, commercial, ecclesiastic, Police Authority and listed building renovation work as well as the management agency. The sole principal is a member of the Royal Institute of British Architects, the Architects Registration Board and the Practice is a Chartered Practice with the RIBA as well as being a member of Constructionline. The Practice operates from the ground floor of Edwardian town centre offices in a recently designated conservation area of a former industrial town in the West Midlands within a total of 5000 square feet owned by the Sole Principal. The building is available as a separate sale or possibly lease of an appropriate area, the sale of the Practice without office occupation will also be considered. It would however be advisable to have an office presence local to the retail market. In particular, a new industrial commission with a value of approximately £3 million pounds is about to enter the design stage and this will require additional resources to those currently available.

Mobility Aid Products Business for sale in Staffordshire, United Kingdom
This is a established mobility equipment and living centre which has been trading successfully for the past three years.
The current owner has been in constant ownership since its inception and is reluctantly selling due to other business reasons.
The shop offers total mobility solutions for the less able and supplies wheelchairs, scooters, rise/recline chairs and beds as well as stair lifts and wheelchair lifts. Other products supplied are comfort shoes, bathroom and kitchen aids, all designed to make life easier for those who are not able to react to life as they used to.
At present, the shop has not advertised at all, relying completely on passing trade and local knowledge. It is felt that an owner who visited and showed what the shop can offer to homes' and medical centres as well as local hospitals would greatly benefit from this effort. Leafleting the area would also help and a selling website with e-sales would really push the business.
The business has running contracts with Cozyfeet and Adaptawear and can get product from both these companies on a day to day basis.
A new owner team of husband and wife would no doubt drive the business forward. Also scooter/wheelchair repairs could be added to the business.
The business is staffed by the present owner only.
We are advised that stock at cost is approximately £8,000.

Taxi Company for sale in Nottinghamshire
This is a established taxi company.
The business has been trading successfully since 1977, when the current owner established the company. It was incorporated and began trading as a limited company approximately two years ago.
The company trades as a licensed hackney carriage operator.
CUSTOMER BASE
Revenue is derived from the following areas:
1. Council contracts including school runs. Regular monthly contracts average £20,000 per month with additional variable revenue throughout term time with school runs
2. 20 drivers pay a weekly rent of £230 + VAT which accounts for £239,200 (ex VAT) per annum
Our client is only an approved' list of providers for councils in Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Derbyshire and Cheshire.
Most of the contracts are renewable and our client has been providing this service for many years. Many new tenders are offered to the company but the owner only tenders for enough work for his 20 strong fleet.
HANDOVER
Although the owner's role is at a minimum, he is willing to conduct a detailed handover, especially is a new owner is looking to reduce/replace one or both of the managers.
MARKETING
Our client conducts no advertising whatsoever.
SYSTEMS
The company has a fully computerised customer relationship system with full voice recording, call back facility and messaging facilities, together with auto number recognition.
VEHICLES
The 20 strong car fleet consist of a variety of vehicles from Citroen's to Ford's, Mercedes, Vauxhall and Peugeot. They have been well maintained and are mostly under 6 years old. All outstanding finances will be settled on completion
VALUATION
The business has been valued on a 3 times ebit multiple plus asset value, a reduction of the management cost of 50% has also been taken into account for a new owner who would work on a full time basis but retains 1 of the 2 full time managers.
If an existing taxi operator absorbed the business, the ebit would increase significantly.
The asking price has been derived as follows:
3 x ebit = 3 x £92,391 = £277,173
Plus 3 x mgt reduction = 3 x £25,000 = £75,000
Plus net book value = £137,555
Total: £489,728
STAFF DETAILS
The owner/md has reduced his working role to a minimum, with the employment of 2 full time managers who conduct the day to day running. One of them is a contracts manager and the second is the transport manager. Each is paid an annual salary of £25,000. Both are on call
24/7. One of them has been employed for 4 years and the other for the last 2 years.
The company has 20 self employed drivers, who rent the company vehicles at a weekly rental of £230 + VAT. The drivers pay for their own fuel but the company maintains the vehicles and takes a £500 bond to ensure vehicles are not abused.
On average, the self employed drivers weekly gross takings average between £600 - £900.
Drivers are relatively stable whilst many have sold their own private cars and rent the cars from the company.
Our client has recently leased a garage unit and commenced with the employment of a full time mechanic. The vendor has informed us that this tactic will reduce the annual motor repair cost by a minimum of £30,000 to £40,000 and in addition creates the facility to repair and maintain other companies and peoples cars, thus creating a bolt on business to the main taxi business.
