CoGoGo are delighted to welcome to the market a highly rated painting and decorating business in the North West of England. 

This family run business opportunity was established by our clients in 1993, building up an excellent reputation within the industry and a regular customer base. As seen by some of the online ratings and reviews on their website, the business is extremely popular within the area due to their excellent results. 

It has now come to the open market due to our clients desire to retire and relocate. 

This is a fully insured and experienced decorating company who pride themselves on the quality of their work and the ‘value for money’ service that they offer. From providing advice on paint types and finishes in a living room to preparing a large commercial building for repainting, their expertise and knowledge is second to none.

The business specialises in a range of interior and exterior decorating solutions for all of their customers around the North West of England from large projects such as a shopping centre, numerous high street chains, multi national superstores, residential homes and many large offices to providing domestic clients with a personal decorating service that ensures they achieve the overall result they are looking for.

The sale also includes a service solutions company that has an established portfolio of reliable partners that can be recommended to their clients. This business can offer tailor-made maintenance service packages which are specifically designed to meet the needs of their customers. This business provides a number of its clients with businesses in areas such as care/retirement homes, city and town centre offices and schools and is proving to be increasingly lucrative. It also operates a telephone answering service and can provide advice to clients from the decorating company of paint choices and finishes.

The services company compliments the decorating business and was established when one of our clients noticed a gap in the market to provide clients with additional trades and services from dry cleaning, gardening and shopping to providing reliable and trusted tradespeople such as electricians, plasterers, joiners etc.

The sale of this opportunity will include the company website and accounts for their social media platforms. The business also enjoys good visibility online with some impressive reviews.
