Your Best Christmas Present – Business SOLD!!

Now is the right time to list your business for sale.

We are busy selling good businesses (signed up a $2.5m and a $1.5m last 2 weeks). We are short on good businesses to sell. Talk to us now. Don’t hesitate.

Your business can be listed, marketed by ABC and sold prior to the upcoming holiday period. Possession may take place after the holiday period but our experience shows that prospective buyers like to have a contract together by then so that they can plan their future while relaxing on holiday. They are generally more relaxed, less stressed and more able to embrace their decision. You, the seller, could be doing exactly the same thing - having a relaxing holiday, knowing your business has been sold.

Regards,

Steve Smith AREINZ
MANAGING DIRECTOR

CAFE & RESTAURANT

Country Cafe & Restaurant Canterbury Region

Located in a lovely North Canterbury town, a comfortable drive from Christchurch, This café/restaurant is a dining experience to savour.

The business has a fine balance between the restaurant and café, allowing all diners the opportunity to order from the extensive menu, which changes from season to season, or to purchase from the cabinets displaying a large range of hot and cold foods. From gourmet pies to club sandwiches and cakes, the cabinets have it all.

This café and restaurant prides itself in having a “Hallmark of Excellence” in beef and lamb with the current owners working hard to maintain a creative menu of a superior standard.

A loyalty card scheme generates repeat clientele, complemented with the fantastic reputation for food and coffee.

There are several styles of dining here, ranging from pleasant private booths inside to relaxing in the sun under the umbrellas watching the world go by in the main street of the lovely town.

The current owner operates this café/restaurant as a daytime only operation(closing at 4.30pm) because that is the lifestyle he wishes to maintain. There is a golden opportunity here to increase sales and profitability by opening evenings.

CREATE A DYNAMIC MARKETING PLAN

Richie Lowe AREINZ

For many business owners, developing a marketing plan is something you know you should do but there is always something else that takes up your time. A marketing plan should not be a thick pile of paper that you never look at after it is printed. If done correctly, a marketing plan can help grow and support your business without spending a lot of money or taking up too much of your valuable time. Developing a marketing plan enables you to:

Maximize your marketing spend
Be pro-active versus re-active to market, customer and competitor changes
Guide your business decisions throughout the year to achieve greater success

Your marketing plan should:

1. Set Your Marketing Objectives
Should cover what is required to achieve both your short and long term goals.

2. Develop A Marketing Strategy
This is your overall game plan to achieve your objectives.

3. Choose The Right Marketing Tactics
These are the business decisions and activities that are needed to support your marketing strategies and achieve your objectives.

Put simply a marketing plan enables you to identify what needs to be done now and in the future to drive the performance of your business.
