The Business
Our clients have operated All Inn One for the past 24 years and are now seeking to retire. During this time they have built a well regarded and profitable business which is well utilised by the extensive local community as well as those visiting the area.
Trade profit and loss accounts for the year ending 2024 show a net turnover of £365,181, generating a strong gross profit of 70.6%, and a very healthy adjusted net profit of £181,105. These figures are based on wet and accommodation sales only. Historic accounts show a consistent business year-on-year. It is our understanding that the business has historically generated a net turnover in the region of £500,000, boosted by a food offering which ceased in 2019 due to the personal choice of our clients. Further accounting detail can be made available to serious parties following a formal viewing.
All Inn One boasts bags of potential to further increase turnover and profits by:
- Reinstating the kitchen area and food offering;
- Increasing room rates of the letting accommodation;
- Converting the owner's accommodation into additional letting bedrooms, effectively doubling capacity;
- Increasing advertising, especially via social media, the full potential of which is yet to be explored.
This profitable business would well suit a hands-on owner operator who could continue to drive the business on a daily basis, however trade figures also accommodation ample capacity to install a management team if desired.
