BUSINESS HISTORY
Aubrey & Jane are delighted to bring to the market this magnificent example of a boarding cattery which provides 5 star boarding accommodation and has been built to meet the Feline Advisory Bureau top class criteria ensuring the highest degree of comfort, security and hygiene. The business, which was designed and established by us just over five years ago, is reluctantly being brought to the market due to the desire for a much needed lifestyle change.
The accommodation is superb and is fully licensed for 40 cats. There are 18 units in total with 14 able to accommodate 2 cats each and 4 being able to accommodate up to 4 cats of the same family. All cats are housed in spacious, individually heated, chalets with a window and sleep shelf. Each has its own adjoining covered exercise area with private seating. The business enjoys high levels of repeat and new trade. The business turnover was a very respectable £50,000 per annum with profits of 80% for the year to April 2009. Predicting around £55,000 for the new financial year commencing April 2011. Coupled with the comfortable three bedroom main house with gardens and parking, this really is a superb opportunity for new owners to capitalise on an already brilliantly run and well established business.
