Business History

Preferred Commercial is pleased to offer for sale this popular health food retailer, which was established in 1990 and which has been in our client’s hands since 2009. The business is only now being placed on the market due to our client’s other business interests. Maximum Health operates 6 days a week and generates a turnover in the region of £115,000 per annum with a gross profit of 33%, derived from a range of organic foods, vitamins, herbal remedies, herbal teas and slimming aids. There is also a treatment room which is currently let out to a reflexology and homeopathy practitioner. There is also a self-contained 2 bedroom flat to the first and second floors, which generates a letting income of £5,400 per annum. A new owner could increase turnover by perhaps embarking on a modest marketing campaign and introducing a web site with on-line ordering facilities. There is also scope to offer a loyalty card scheme to customers. The property is well presented and offers a true walk-in-and-trade opportunity. Early viewing, arranged with Preferred Commercial, must come highly recommended.
