Agilis Advisory presents an exciting opportunity to own a unique niche business: A Leading Supplier of Ancient Egyptian Giftware and Souvenirs. For over 30 years, this family-run business has provided quality, artisan-crafted Ancient Egyptian gifts and souvenirs to prestigious museum shops, exhibitions, and educational institutions across the UK.
Key Features:
• Extensive Range of Unusual Products: Offers an impressive selection of genuine Egyptian items – hand-painted papyrus, artisanal glassware, handmade jewellery, brassware, and Egyptian-themed children’s gifts like mini pyramids and pens. Many items are sourced directly from Egypt, ensuring authenticity and quality.
• Established Clientele and Trusted Suppliers: With longstanding clients and reputable suppliers in Egypt, China, and Taiwan, the business has a solid foundation for continued reliability. These well-established relationships ensure smooth operations and consistent quality of goods.
• Flexibility and Ease of Operation: Currently receiving around two weekly orders with a courier collection, it’s highly manageable, even as a side business. Ideal for those seeking work flexibility, it’s easily run from a home location and hours are tailored to fit around other commitments. The new owner will need to secure stock storage – approximately a garage-sized space.
• Assets Included: The sale includes the website, goodwill, racking for storage, a customer and prospect database, unique designs for brochures, postcards, and activity books, as well as a dedicated business phone line. Stock will be valued upon sales completion.
Growth Potential:
The business holds significant untapped growth potential. With minimal competition in this niche, there’s a strong opportunity to expand through online retail, product diversification, and partnerships with more schools and historical sites. Expanding the product range to include other historical periods, like Roman or Medieval giftware could attract a wider customer base. Additionally, with increased marketing efforts and a focus on building e-commerce, this business could reach new markets and significantly boost revenue.
Relocatable:
This business can be operated from home anywhere in the UK, requiring only a garage-sized space for stock and storage.
This is a rare chance to acquire a reputable, established business with flexibility, a loyal clientele, and a wealth of growth opportunities. Perfect for anyone with a passion for history, culture, and entrepreneurship.
