The business was established by our clients in 1988 and has been profitable throughout their tenure. Brenda's Jewel Box is only now being placed onto the market due to our clients' wish to retire, however they wish to emphasise they have thoroughly enjoyed the running and management of the business. Brenda's Jewel Box enjoys a healthy turnover of £35,000 per annum with a gross profit of 70%, which is achieved at a pace very much suited to our clients' lifestyle. Turnover is derived from the sale of jewellery, whilst in previous years the business also enjoyed a busy trade in the purchase and sale of second hand jewellery. We feel that this is an excellent base for a new owner to build upon, perhaps by extending the opening hours, starting a website with incorporation of retail on eBay and also by re-introducing the sale and purchase of second hand goods.

It was established by the current vendor (who also owns the freehold) some 6 years ago. The owner is reluctantly selling due to a recent bereavement and a close family member’s illness. Our client provides all fresh floral flower designs. Although they do some traditional work, they tend to do more modern, classical and avant-garde bespoke designs. The vendor has several contracts in place which give regular weekly work with local corporate clients as well as with the local funeral director. All the normal seasonal trade such as Christmas, Valentines Day, Mothers Day and Fathers day are extremely busy times of the year for Decorum. A delivery service is in place and a Mercedes vito van is offered by separate negotiation – approx value of £6,000. Decorum also retails vases and artificial designs. The business has a PDQ terminal as well as its own computers and tills. This florist is probably the biggest and best well known in Northampton. An Interflora agency would lead to further work. In fact, our client has commissioned the construction of a modern web site by a top designer. The website will be included in the asking price for the business. Decorum has built its enviable reputation by work of mouth and there is no real need for advertising. In fact, most corporate companies in Northampton are aware of Decorum and this provides another avenue of untapped potential. Sunday trading would lead to further business as people are always coming to this bustling parade. Decorum is well serviced by their local Dutch wholesaler and lorries deliver into our client on both Tuesdays and Thursdays. The business employs 2 full time staff and 1 part time member and stock at cost is in the region of £10,000. Early viewing of this splendid business is highly recommended in order to avoid disappointment. The vendor is willing to undergo a 1 – 2 week hand over period, as he is the landlord he will naturally be concerned that a new owners is successful!
