A gardening business is for sale in Mirfield near Huddersfield after it entered administration.
Whiteleys Garden Centre had been trading for more than 25 years when it entered administration on 21 November. Three members of Begbies Traynor have been appointed to handle the administration.
Joint administrator Julian Pitts told Insider Media: “This is a well-established and viable business which has suffered from financial pressures that are not related to its day-to-day operations.
"We are continuing to trade the business and the garden centre will be running as usual while a buyer is sought. We want to reassure customers that the garden centre will be open as normal during the busy Christmas period and its full schedule of festive events will go ahead as planned.”
The administrator added that the long-established business has a loyal customer base and could offer “an excellent investment opportunity”.
Whiteleys Garden Centre has an annual turnover estimated to be over £2 million. Its assets include significant levels of stock and the freehold site from which it operates. There are no plans in place to make any redundancies at the business, which employs 45 full and part-time staff.
Opportunity to acquire a discretionary investment managing £45m of clients funds with recurring income of £500,000.
Opportunity to acquire an established IFA business circa £42m AUM located in Glasgow with room for further growth.
Newcastle based IFA offered for sale, the practice benefits from low ongoing advisor charge of 0.6% providing room for potential uplift maximising profits post acquisition.
