 | Established Local Post Office For Sale Pencaitland, Lothian, United Kingdom Advert ref: G692 FINANCIAL DETAILS | Asking price: £22,500 Sales revenue: Undisclosed Net profit: Undisclosed Fixtures value: Undisclosed Stock value: Undisclosed |
BUSINESS DESCRIPTION | The Business Partnership Scotland is delighted to offer for sale the following business...
The business was established in 1973 with the present owner taking over the business in 2003. The post office is busy with local residents and businesses and is very much a part of the local community. The owner has decided to sell due to the long travelling hours he has as he does not live locally.
The shop is old fashioned in style and with a grant from the Post Office may be re-fitted. Currently the retail side of the business consists of a selection of greetings cards but there is room to expand the range of stock offered.
The business is very profitable and the local council only charges a rent of £50.00 per year and has made the post office zero rated (with the exception of the water rates), making the overheads minimal.
