Landscaping & Nursery Business In Coastal Town For Sale

Business description

This popular, established, profitable nursery and landscaping business is situated in a popular Eastern Cape coastal town, and was established about 8 years ago by the current owners.

Recent developments have seen the business incorporated as part of a "lifestyle centre", which comprises a tea garden, pool centre, kids play area and outdoor furniture retailing section. It is important to note that the profitability below is based on current trading conditions, and sales are expected to increase as a result of the incorporation into the lifestyle centre.

THE ASKING PRICE INCLUDES THE BUSINESS PROPERTY, WHICH IS CONSERVATIVELY VALUED AT R800,000!

The business comprises a retail nursery, and also provides landscaping services to a wide range of local affluent business and private customers.

The property measures about 1400 square metres in size, with buildings comprising about 250 square metres. There are also numerous other improvements on the property.

Facilities include a hot house for growing small plants, and there are 2 separate water tanks on the property with an automated sprinkler system. Water in the tanks is derived mainly from rainwater, with an automatic top up system from municipal water.

Experience in the industry would be an advantage, but is not essential, as the business is competently staffed, and landscaping design services can be outsourced.

This business will provide the buyer with an unbeatable lifestyle in a beautiful and safe seaside environment.

The business is expected to grow in the short to medium term as a result of the incorporation into the lifestyle centre, and the inclusion of the property into the asking price will be attractive to prospective buyers.
