Business Profile
This opportunity is a quite superb and unique successful event management company that specialises in arranging functions for corporate and private clients on board this Super Yacht.

An established profitable business, this exclusive business opportunity includes the added bonus of a high value, moveable asset. The owner has invested in excess of £1.5M on improvement and maintainance of the yacht. This stylish multi function venue can cater for parties up to 60 plus five berths sleeping 10.
The business operates on a low overhead basis run by a management couple who reside in the yacht’s staff quarters, a chef and additional staff are also recruited subject to the lucrative events calendar. An Events Manager is employed on a remuneration package directly related to the functions that have been booked.
This is a thriving, creative and highly profitable management run business that is ripe for further development. The annual turnover is now reaching in the region of £400,000, and after expenditure we are advised that the profits for this business are exceptional.
A FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY NOT TO BE MISSED
Key Strengths:

4. Great location but with the flexibility for re-location if required
5. Exceptional fixtures and fittings throughout

Growth and Expansion:

The business is run on a low key basis via word of mouth repeat bookings and a website. Little additional marketing has been done due to the fact that the owner manages the bookings and financials hundreds of miles away from the business location. A hands-on owner living within a closer proximity would find it easier to pursue the obvious expansion possibilities. Although currently permanently moored, new owners may wish to look into the very lucrative market of chartering the super yacht. We are informed that the yacht is sea worthy, so this market could be targeted subject to all the necessary regulations.
We are advised by the owner that a turnover in the region of £1M could be achieved.

Financial profile:

The business and the super yacht are being offered for sale on a going concern basis. We are advised that the anticipated income for the current financial year will be in the region of £400,000. The business and yacht are held in a Limited company and in depth management accounts can be provided to all interested parties.
The vendor has recently agreed to a mooring. The annual fees to include electricity are £24,000 + VAT. Originally the mooring was held on a three month rolling basis but the vendors have recently signed a yearly agreement.
All financial discussions will take place directly between the vendor and all interested parties under the auspices of Turner Butler.

Location Hyde, Cheshire
Asking Price £200,000

Business Profile
These superbly appointed recording studios were set up in 2003 by the current vendor as a private recording studio for himself, family and fellow musicians. It was not established to become a commercial profit making establishment and as such a charity was established in 2006 for the collective musicians to provide tuition and courses as a music academy to the wider community, this work continues within schools although the family chose to keep the studio for their private use from 2013. Over the last two years the vendor has spent a considerable amount of time and resource building up the new luxury studios for his family and friends to enjoy.
The aim was to create a truly special experience with an inspiring and relaxing environment to boost the creative talents. The Studios do not dissapoint when it comes to achieving a creative base. It is no exaggeration to state that the studio enjoys associations with some of the biggest names in the music industry, such is its commitment to providing an enjoyable experience.
The proprietor established his own seperate production and management company that has enjoyed recent success and this has prompted the sale to allow him to pursue these activities within the major record label circles he now works in.
The current premises have been recently upgraded at an additional cost of circa £250,000 to provide a superb platform to its users, with a major renovation completed in 2014.

With addition of the relaxation areas and a superb cinema room The Studios are a must see for any artist or record label.
All fixtures and fittings, equipment and instruments are included in the sale price.

CO142-Layzell`s Clubs Limited Freehold, Refurbished Licensed Bar, Nightclub and Entertainment Venue

Layzell`s Clubs Limited Freehold, Refurbished Licensed Bar, Nightclub and Entertainment Venue


Ref. CO142
Location Minster On Sea , Isle of Sheppey,Kent
Asking Price £850,000

Business Profile
This business has been established for approximately thirty years and has been managed by the current owners for the last eleven. The business has for many years been well known as ‘the place to go ‘especially at the weekend on the Isle of Sheppey.
Since taking over the business several years ago, the current owner has invested £500,000 to ensure that the venue is able to retain its reputation throughout the local community and beyond.
New flooring, ceilings, bar areas, toilets, furniture and pool tables as well as converting dead space into an additional bar have all contributed to the continued success of the business.
The club opens until 2 am on Fridays and Saturdays and it is these weekend evenings where the establishment comes into its own.
The club is used as a disco/dance venue to visit after meals or drinks at other premises across the island. The business has two large function rooms that are hired for Weddings and other celebrations.
The venue can cater for approximately 200 people in the function suites and another 200 in the main club/bar area. The business has a separate pool/snooker room that is used by the club’s own pool team. Other social and sports clubs have and still are using the venue as a base or meeting point.
The club is located alongside a large private car park with spaces for 80 vehicles. The business is not tied to any brewery and is able to negotiate its own deals for their drinks. This allows the bar and the club to be highly competitive in attracting growing numbers of customers to come and spend their money whist having a great night out.
The freehold property has under gone an extensive refurbishment and is constantly maintained to an excellent order.
There are considerable opportunities within the club and bar area to increase turnover.

Equipment:

All the fixtures and fittings that are required to continue to run the business are of course included in the asking price. These include bar equipment, refrigeration, sound system, furniture, pool tables etc.
