BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Mailing House & Packaging Company
Mailing, polywrapping, laser printing & ink-jetting
Ref.CA084
Location Midlands
Asking Price GBP 350,000
This successful mailing house was established in 2009 by the current owner and provides first class commercial mailing services to a range of businesses. The business has developed substantially over the years, both organically and via acquisition, and specialises in commercial volume polywrapping and paper enclosed for UK and International mass direct marketing. The company has invested significantly in equipment and employs the latest environmentally friendly technology to service a rapidly expanding blue chip client base that is spread throughout the UK.

The business offers the full range of services, including data management, data entry and cleansing, personalization and mail merge of data for mailings, enclosing including polybagging, paper enclosing and mailsort ready for collection by the Royal Mail. In addition to this the company also provides bespoke laser and inkjet printing services.

A first rate list of loyal and established clients has been developed many of whom have used the business since it began trading. The company has specifically resisted the temptation to promote its services to a particular market, this affords the company the necessary resilience to changes in demand from specific market areas and consequently makes the business particularly robust.

The mailing house operates from centrally located premises in the Midlands and with easy motorway access. This business represents an ideal opportunity for an existing printer or mailing house looking to acquire a proven workforce and a quality database of clients. Similarly, it will suit an entrepreneur looking to acquire a mailing business, which can serve as a springboard to expand both in size and depth of service.

Expansion Potential
Larger mailing jobs are fulfilled through the use of casual labour and the business has the capability to run on a continual 24 hour, 365 day basis when required. This has kept prices low. The vendor has recently acquired further infrastructure which should enable the business to handle more jobs and generate significant additional sales and still maintain, or improve, margins.

Whilst operating profitably the business has massive further growth potential with an abundance of further production capacity available. This includes the possible introduction of weekend trading to fully exploit production capability.

Market / Competition / Non-Competition Agreements
The business has used very limited advertising in the past. There are therefore excellent opportunities to adopt a more pro-active approach to client acquisition, which could be achieved through various marketing initiatives and with the introduction of a sales division. Historically nearly all of the business's revenue has been due to its excellent reputation for quality and service, its high profile location and strong word of mouth industry recognition and recommendation.
