CN055-Driving, Racing & Flying Simulator Hire Company Regarded as one of the best in the industry

Driving, Racing & Flying Simulator Hire Company Regarded as one of the best in the industry

Ref.CN055
Location Hampshire
Asking Price £100,000 Inc. assets

Business Profile

If anyone has ever wondered what it would be like to drive a Formula 1 racing car, now they can. This business offers customers the opportunity to experience the world’s most advanced simulators; the dream really has become reality. For any person who would like to experience the adrenalin rush of braking sharply to take the next bend before accelerating to 200mph past the grandstand on the home straight of one of the world’s most famous race tracks and feel the powerful force of 2G’s dynamic motion, then this is for them.

This exciting and innovative driving simulator hire company posesses some of the most sophisticated and advance driving and flying simulators in the world, with a reputation in the industry for setting the standard for the consumer experience. While only trading in this form for a short time, the business quickly became a significant business and has grown a valuable database of corporate clients.

Since the start of trading the business found itself to be popular and sometimes struggles in meeting demand. It is believed by the vendor that the business could double its income and profits by simply adding to the number of units for hire; something they believe strongly should be an opportunity taken up by a new owner.

The business operates from the private home of the vendor and equipment is stored safely nearby. This arrangement has proven to be economically sensible and suitable for the vendor as he manages this business today very much in line with his own personal wishes and circumstances.

The business is based in Hampshire, close to main trunk roads and Motorways, providing easy access to the wider parts of the UK.

The hire service is used mainly by corporate clients for special events and has recently found a market with the Ministry of Transport for driver awareness training with particular reference to the equipment’s ability to realistically simulate “driver awareness” scenarios.

Such services, if offered more proactively, could yield much future growth and opportunity for a new owner, along with the more easily developed increases in trade by the introduction of more simulator availability.

The business’ resources are stretched by demand and customers are frequently disappointed by unavailability due to a lack of capacity.

There are up to 8 x simulators in total and 1 x large vehicle for transport and delivery for installation on site.
