CoGoGo is delighted to welcome to the market this well-established and highly rated Wooden Garden Planters manufacturer and e-commerce store, which is currently trading from a unit in Nottingham.

BR Garden was established by our client in 2015 and is only now being offered to the market due to our client’s personal circumstances.

The business specialises in the manufacturing of Wooden Garden Planters, selling direct to retail customers through eBay and their website.

The business has a great growth record and huge potential for continued growth. The existing website is one of the main sources of income and has great search engine results for keywords related to wooden planters. They have also established an eBay store with a £10,000,000 listing allowance, something that takes years to build.

Personal circumstances have provided a very rare opportunity to acquire an already profitable business.

The retail side of the business is easy to relocate to anywhere with an internet connection. The manufacturing side requires little in machinery or knowledge of woodworking and would be easy to move to any small workshop.

The recent addition of 8,000 new products gives an opportunity for a savvy marketer to drastically increase the revenue of the Drop-shipping side of the business. Software to automate order data and stock data has already been implemented. A new owner simply needs to update the website with keywords for each category to increase traffic to these new products.
