Property Information

Real Estate:

Lease

Lease Terms:

The business currently operates from approximately 350 m² of storage facilities under a flexible lease arrangement at R9,000 per month. The lease is open-ended and subject to two months' notice. The purchaser may continue occupying the facility subject to agreement with the landlord or relocate the business to premises of their choosing.

Leasehold Rent:

R108,000 per annum

Location:

Historically, Shopfitting Depot™ operated from dedicated retail showroom and warehouse facilities ranging between 250 m² and 700 m² in size. A typical operational footprint comprised approximately 250 m² of showroom space and 350 m² of warehousing and storage facilities.
The showroom environment allowed customers to engage directly with sales consultants, view product ranges, assess fixture quality, and discuss bespoke retail solutions and shopfitting requirements.
In response to changing customer purchasing behaviours and advances in digital technology, the business has since developed a comprehensive digital showroom model, enabling customers to browse products, review specifications, obtain quotations, and engage with the business remotely. This significantly reduces overhead costs while allowing the business to continue servicing clients nationally.
As a result, the business is highly relocatable and can be operated from a warehouse, distribution facility, showroom environment, or hybrid model depending on the purchaser's preferred operating strategy.

Premises Details:

The business is currently operated on a flexible and relocatable basis. Inventory and fixtures are currently stored in secure storage facilities. No lease obligations, manufacturing premises, or property commitments form part of the sale, providing the purchaser with complete flexibility regarding future operating location and overhead structure.

Size in square feet:
Not Applicable – Business is fully relocatable and not dependent on a specific property.
Planning Consent:

The business does not require any special planning consent and can operate from suitably zoned commercial, industrial, warehouse, showroom, or mixed-use premises depending on the purchaser's preferred operating model and location.

Competition / Market:
