An Online Retail Business Supplying & Fitting Blinds throughout the East Midlands

BUSINESS ‘FOR SALE’ AS A GOING CONCERN

Business activity.

Established in 2010, Blinds Fit offers a variety of window furnishings to both domestic and commercials customers, along with a cleaning and repair service. All types of blinds, including Roller, Vertical, Venetian, Allusion, Vision Blinds and more, are sold. The blinds are available in various materials, such as fabric, wood, faux wood and even waterproof materials. Blinds Fit also supply curtains and curtain poles, and have the added option to for certain products to be motorised.

The majority of clients are domestic. However, the repair service is proving to be popular with landlords; as an end of tenancy service that provides a cost-effective solution to damaged blinds. Along with developing the commercial and landlord acquisition side of the business, this area is prime for growth; which could be achieved through strategic marketing. 

Potential for growth.

• Promote and seek new customers in the commercial side.
• Social media and marketing campaigns.
• Paid Google and Facebook Ad campaigns.
• More regular leaflet drops.
• Widen the area of work, create central hubs in different areas to keep service level high and gain more work. 
• Provide initial quotes using video calls/photographs to enable faster quoting and greater workloads.
• Further utilise contractors to take on the installations, enabling the ability to take on greater workloads and further areas (this is currently being used with good success).

Current income. In the last financial year ended April 2025 the turnover was in excess of £45,000, with a net profit of £20,400. The products offer a high net profit to turnover percentage. Benefitting from low overheads, increasing the turnover would result in further raising the net profit percentage. 

Premises & Equipment. A small space or room is required for a home office, plus transport to attend fittings and repair appointments.

Price of the business. Offers are sought in the region of £40,000 for the business, including the trading name, client records, website and sample book. A comprehensive handover / consultancy support from the seller is included in the sale. Subject to the offer, the vendor is open to a structured payment plan; such as a deposit, with the balance payable over 12-18months. If required by the new owner, the vendor will consider remaining in the business for 3-6 months to support the new owners (subject to an agreed salary).

Key information:

• Low overheads.
• High NP percentage relative to turnover.
• Option to run as a lifestyle business.
• Huge growth potential.
• Untapped markets.
• Ideal social media products.
• A structured payment plan will be considered.
• Vendor willing to remain in the business if required.

Summary: Businesses such as this rarely come on to the market. This turnkey business has untapped potential. There is real goodwill attached to the business, which has had just 1 owner since inception.
