Business For Sale. Interior Design Retail Business

Madam Blunt is an interior design business established 27 years ago and represents a profitable lifestyle business with strong levels of repeat business and a healthy cashflow. The business is located in an attractive double fronted property on Cricklade High Street, predominantly amongst other independent businesses and consists of a large bright shop / showroom, an office and kitchen and toilet facilities, with customer parking at the rear.

Madam Blunt does not sell anything ‘off the peg’. Sales are typically around 50% made to measure blinds and 50% commissioned soft furnishings, predominantly curtains but also cushions, flooring and upholstery. It also provides a fitting service.

There are significant opportunities to develop the business further including
• extending opening hours to a normal working week (currently open 4 days / week)
• Accepting more of the commissions that are available
• Marketing the business, including integrating with social media channels
• Developing the range of interior design products available
• Introducing some ‘off the shelf’ items
• Developing craft avenues such as decoupage and ‘take and make’ items
