Hellooo

Hi
Not been on for a while so thought I'd say Hi.

We are trying to buy an existing florists. trying being the operative word. It's taken 2 weeks just to get the outgoings and approx. turnover from the current owner. You'd think that having the shop on the market you'd have that sort of thing ready..........or is it me?


bye for now

No it isn't you. That happens all the time. Don't trust their books when you see them either. Figures can be made to look what they are not (does that make sense?) Ask for their customer records, they should have regular customers. That will tell you a bit more about how the business is doing. You should be taking over any existing customers if you are buying their business and that includes all advanced wedding orders and corporate work. Finally see what they have claimed against fuel. That will give you an idea about how much delivering they actually do. Good Luck.
