Founded in 2004, this well-established mobility retail business has been trading successfully for over 20 years and is now offered for sale due to the owner’s planned retirement.
Located in an area with one of the highest concentrations of elderly residents in the UK, it enjoys steady demand and strong repeat custom from a loyal local customer base. The business operates from an accessible, well-presented retail premises and serves a wide catchment area across North Somerset and Bristol, home to more than 700,000 people.
It specialises in the sale of mobility aids such as scooters, wheelchairs, walkers, rise and recline chairs, and daily living equipment, as well as incontinence products and smaller aids that encourage regular repeat purchases. Approximately 99% of customers are private individuals, with the remainder comprising NHS clients, nursing homes, and local charities.
Known for its friendly, knowledgeable service and quality products, the business attracts customers from within a 20-mile radius. Its loyal demographic, consistent repeat trade, and the growing demand from an ageing population provide a strong foundation for continued growth.
The current owner is offering a one-month handover period and is open to providing additional transitional support if required, ensuring a smooth transfer for the new owner.
The premises feature a distinctive blue-framed glass frontage with level access and a vibrant, inviting interior designed by the owner, who has a background in interior design. The single-level layout widens towards the rear, where the office, storage area, and toilet are located.
The well-presented shop includes 2 private parking spaces and comes fully equipped with a TV screen, furniture, tools, a van, and comprehensive stock, all included in the sale.
The owner oversees operations with support from a part-time staff member working 1 day per week. While no formal contracts are in place, customer retention is excellent, driven by strong service standards and reliable supplier relationships.
Marketing is conducted through online channels, social media, newspaper advertising (Newsquest), and directory listings.
The business is a member of the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) and enjoys an outstanding local reputation.
The business presents considerable potential for further growth. Hiring a technician would enable expansion into service and repair work, including home visits, creating a valuable additional revenue stream.
Targeting care and residential homes could further increase turnover, while participation in local shows and exhibitions would help attract new customers. Strengthening digital marketing efforts, through video promotion and improved online engagement, would also enhance visibility and brand reach.
In addition, there is scope to expand geographically by opening further outlets in nearby areas, building on the strong brand reputation already established.
