CoGoGo welcomes to the market this rare opportunity to acquire a thriving balloon and event dressing business, based in Manchester. The business was first established in 2009 and has grown steadily since its creation, gaining an excellent reputation and loyal customer base in the local area and beyond. It is the longest established balloon business in the area and most recommended on local chat forums and social media platforms.

The business caters to a wide variety of occasions and supplies balloons for home events, celebrations in restaurants and bars, private parties and more. They also offer a venue decoration service which is tailored to meet each clients’ needs. This includes supply of large backdrop displays such as balloon hoops, arches, easel stands, table centre pieces, welcome signs, flower walls and prosecco walls, which can all be personalised to suit the client’s theme. They cater for all types of events including birthdays, weddings, christenings, baby showers, anniversaries, graduation parties, proms, charity dinners, bar mitzvahs and corporate events.

The company offers a complete delivery, setup, and collection service for all events – with delivery charges quoted to customers based upon the location. They provide a high-quality service for every customer both big and small, from initial contact to delivering the end displays. Ensuring customers are always happy with the products they receive has enabled them to maintain strong relationships with their client base and in turn, creates a lot of repeat business. They receive most of their work through this avenue, alongside word-of-mouth recommendations, which is a testament to their brilliant service offering and outstanding customer service.

The business is a favoured supplier for local businesses including Manchester Airport, David Lloyd Leisure, a variety of local golf and cricket clubs, hotels and retailers within Manchester city centre and its surrounding suburbs.

The company has both Facebook and Instagram on-line offerings where most current orders are obtained. The day to day running of the business includes replying to customers messages, booking them into the online diary, ordering stock from wholesalers, and creating the balloon displays on the day the customer is due to collect / the day of an event booking.

• Cricut Maker Machine & tools
• Balloon Stuffing Machine
• Prosecco Wall Stand
• Easel Stand & Circular sign
• Heart Arch Frame
• Flower Wall Frame & Flowers

This is a unique opportunity to purchase a successful local business, which is only up for sale due to the current owner relocating abroad next year. The company would be suited to anyone with a passion for balloons and events, however thorough training would be provided for any new owner and no previous balloon experience is necessary.

Location
The business is currently operated from our clients home in the Northwest, over a 25 hour 5-day week.
