Goodwill | Business profile: | This business was founded in 1991 and has been owned by the present three directors ever since. The business enjoys an excellent track record in satisfying the needs of even the most demanding military and industrial leaders.
As a privately owned, offshore company it is ideally placed to meet all needs both corporate and individual. Small enough for a speedy and cost effective service yet large enough to respond to the most demanding of tasks.
This business is a leading human/technical solutions provider, specialising in the supply of skilled labour, equipment and 4x4 vehicles to the telecommunications and oil industries throughout the world. With acknowledged expertise this business provides these services in areas deemed by industry to be difficult or even dangerous.
The business supplies ex-military, security cleared telecom engineers to difficult areas. The business is trusted by the staff and their families and by the prime contractors and the customers who include NATO, The British MoD of the US Department of Defence.
The business operates with low overheads and is competitive and profitable with margins higher than conventional labour supply agencies. The business has earned an excellent reputation through understanding the requirements of their many telecom customers over the years.
The business provides contract workers where needed in industry. Because of the extensive knowledge held by the staff, across the complete spectrum of skill sets, they are able to place the right person in the right position every time.
The business can quote and supply on a complete range of Communications Hardware, including anything from Satellite Terminal Equipment to 4.2 meters Antenna, from Microwave and GSM products to Towers and Masts (up to but not limited to 150m), from Batteries and Generators to Armoured and Fibre Cable, in-fact any needs within the communications industry can be sourced, supplied, installed and maintained.
The new owner need not know anything about the telecommunications industry. A buyer with good business management skills, able to win sales orders and who knows how to respond to enquiries and talk with engineers looking for work can continue the success of this business.
Customer Service
This business is dedicated to providing 100% customer satisfaction. It is the policy of the company that staff make every effort to satisfy the requirements of existing and potential customers; this has led to repeat business and customer loyalty.
The business can prepare special quotes in English, Serb/Croat, Arabic and French tailored to customer requirements. The business also has experience in the financing of projects as well as handling the technical and logistical aspects. In fact everything customers need however big or small.
Key Strengths:
The experienced and competent management and staff have built success and profitable growth with quick decision making due to extensive market knowledge and the financial stability of the company.
This business has become a key player in military telecommunications where from time to time they have been asked to sit in on planning meetings for NATO, British MOD and some of the world's leading telecommunications operators.
The business has built up an un-paralleled reputation for quality service and this progressive and innovative approach has resulted in remarkable achievement in reaching set company goals.
Customers return to the business time after time to fulfil their requirements. Our repeat business is their repeat business.
Key Opportunities:
The business has good contacts in Africa, America and the Middle East, which are there to be nurtured. Equatorial Africa is constantly appealing to American suppliers of telecom systems who are reluctant to send their own men to the continent.
Arabian North Africa is expanding with the re-emergence of Libya and with strong connections this relationship can also be developed.
The Middle East is similarly emerging. The business has men in Iraq with the British Army, bridging the gap between the American and European companies who are reluctant to stand in the sand and still want to reap the profits. With a strong demand for existing services there is a capacity to increase the turnover and profitability.
The business has grown, forging a reputation for itself by providing a quality service.
Regularly receiving invitations to tender to NATO the business have done so and been successful. A new owner would contribute fresh ideas and energy to expand on this excellent foundation.
The sale of this business presents a rare opportunity to acquire an extremely well organised and highly successful business. Established from scratch by our clients there is genuine and demonstrable scope for substantial growth of the business.
Quality Assurance:
Quality comes high on the list of these businesses priorities, the company was assessed by the Lloyds register in 1999 and their obligation is further endorsed with their commitment to the quality management system BS EN ISO 9002 (1994).
The business also holds a NATO BOA (Basic Ordering Agreement). | Premises:
This is a home-based business. The office need only be a laptop computer.
Staffs are posted to Army camps or find their own accommodation according to the area where they are working. | <>Advertising and Marketing:
The business has never undertaken any advertising. The work is in a very specialised field and orders are won by personally following up leads and recommendations. Commissions are paid for orders obtained. The Balkans wars created this unique business opportunity, when all participants, NATO and the British and Americans were working out what to do on a day-to-day basis. The relationships created then have survived to today.
The business has in conjunction with partners developed a real time up to the minute on-line catalogue, providing all the needs of the communications industries. | Support and Training:
Full business familiarisation, training and handover will be provided by the owner, it is considered that this will be a relatively simple event due to the foresight of the sale and the appropriate measures made to ensure the continued success of the business.
The owners will be available for consulting for a period of time, to be negotiated prior to the successful sale of the business. | | Financial profile: | The business is being offered for sale on a going concern basis, all financial discussions will take place directly between the vendor and all interested parties under the auspices of Turner Butler.
The business is financially stable with no borrowings, low overheads, positive cash flow, no debtors, no taxation, and is registered in the Seychelles for legal efficiency. Customers and shareholders are fully insulated against litigation. Banking is with Barclays in Jersey.
The successful buyer will be able to see bank statements that are the ultimate proof of real money and be able to understand that there is a healthy respect for the business amongst the customers. | Employees:
The company do not use the term | | Reason for Sale:
Our clients are placing this thriving business on the market as they now have other business interests that are all proving to be very time consuming, there is just not enough time to look after everything.
The new owner will be better focussed to win new customers, the business has no problems and the founder directors are in no rush to quit which tells the incumbent that he can enjoy the rewards that the founders have and continue to have. | | Turner Butler Disclosure Statement: This statement applies to information relating to any company or other undertaking or business advertised for sale by Turner Butler (a 'Business') The information supplied by Turner Butler on its website or in any other promotional material ('the Information') is not and is not intended to constitute an offer for sale of the Business or any assets of the Business or of the shares of any company which owns the Business.
