Established The Wheel Specialist for sale Leicester
Established Business, Team and Customer base.
Operating from large fixed premises since 2017, the current franchise business owner is looking to retire. As the new owner, you’ll be able to build on what has already been established to increase sales activity within the business, and reap the rewards of its success.
The current owner has built an excellent reputation with trade and public customers, and mainly deals with the owners of premium car brands such as; Audi, Mercedes, BMW and Porsche.
In 2023, this business grew 15% compared to the previous year, largely attributed a transition of a senior technician assuming the role of Manager. Promoting and incentivising the manager has been a catalyst for a more target-oriented atmosphere and has enabled the the current owner to take a step away from the day-to-day operations on a more regular basis.
Your investment
By operating from the professional designed showroom and separate workshop, you’ll stand out from your competition. Your team will also offer a friendly and professional service, with rapid turnaround times, completed to the highest quality.
The business currently boasts a fully-trained and competent team, capable of running the majority of the business day-to-day. This has allowed the current owner to spend more time working ‘on’ the business rather than in it – something you may also wish to do.
Following your comprehensive training, you’ll need some time to integrate yourself within the business, where we would recommend that you or a key person be involved in all areas of the business, both on the business side and the technical side. Once you’ve spent some time learning the ropes, you’ll very quickly be able to focus on working ‘on’ your business rather than working ‘in’ your business, which is what we see most of our other business owners do.
Through hard work, following the franchise model and support provided, and applying your skills to grow the business, you could reach similar heights as some of our high-performing franchisees, earning upwards of £190,000 per year profit (These figures/figure are not based of audited or submitted accounts but are based on adjusted accounts from a high performing franchisee).
You’ll need to be able to work with our Head office support team and board of Directors, who will help guide you on how to grow your business. You’ll also need to build upon the team already in place, ensuring they’re capable of servicing the work generated as you grow.
