Frames and Galleries - Case Study

Scenario

We were appointed to market the sale of a well-established picture framing and art gallery business in Huddersfield. Following owner retirement after 13 successful years of managing the business which was nationally renowned for delivering a high-quality service, the business on lease presented low overheads, easy hours and the potential to expand further.

 The business provided services to highly regarded organisations, such as the BBC, West Yorkshire Police, the National Trust, Huddersfield University, in addition to local artists of national repute. The well-presented business was located close to the city centre, consisting of a large gallery area, additional gallery space and a workshop with high-value equipment and machinery.

Solution

We carried out an extensive valuation of the business due to the nature of the tools, art supplies and prints owned by Frames and Galleries. We sourced a buyer for the business who was experienced in the field, resulting in a fast sale turnaround. The seller was impressed by the quality of the service and our database of interested buyers which helped orchestrate this sale.

"This was one of a kind business opportunity due to the reputation carried by Frames and Galleries for over a decade and the track record of quality maintained by the business. " Stuart Moorhouse – Selling My Business
