Expansion Potential
The market for training is vast. Private businesses, the public sector and the EU for that matter are fully committed to providing training to all levels of employee. This business is ideally positioned to benefit from this as it has a very broad ranging customer base including many large blue chip multinationals, not to mention a successful track record and enviable reputation. The vendor only works part time within the business through choice. A new owner with some new energy, initiatives and a more proactive approach could easily expand upon current revenues.
