Business for Sale Overview:
There has been a scrap metal dealer on this site for almost 100 years. The current business has some 40 years trading experience and in that time the business has established a real presence in the market it serves and an excellent reputation. It has a full waste management license and ATF (Authorized Treatment Facility) status.
The business has several revenue streams. The majority of its work (60%) is generated from the dismantling and salvage of motor vehicles (cars and light commercial generally). The business then sells on the various components, both used and new, to a wide variety of clients within the trade. This also incorporates the sale and fitting if so required of tyres.
The business also buys non ferrous metal – copper, brass, lead, aluminum etc. at very competitive prices for recycling purposes.
In addition to this the business can also source new parts, tyres and components for customers if they do not have the items in stock as they have built up their own network of suppliers so as to ensure customer requirements are fully met. The company has an excellent website where customers can search for particular parts by make and model online and submit inquiries.
