A new online marketplace for trading Irish
businesses has been set up by two Limerick businessmen.
The
web site - www.thebusinessshop.ie - currently
carries details of over 50 businesses with a
combined estimated turnover of E17.5m that are
either for sale or seeking investment.
Currently the types of businesses listed for
sale range from fast food outlets to financial
services companies. They include a health and
fitness Club in Ennis, a school of motoring in
Galway and an Internet operations company in the
Leinster area. The sale prices being sought range
from E40,000 to E350,000 while the turnover ranges
from E40,000 to E750,000.
"Based on the stats we
currently have 2,000 visitors a month to the site", said
John Ahern one of the businessmen behind the venture.
"In the first two weeks of officially launching the site
at the beginning of January we had 940 visits."
The website was established by Ahern, founder of
mobile messaging firm Go2Mobile, and the Go2Mobile
technical manager John Ryan.
The costs for placing a business for sale, seeking a
business or franchises varies depending on length of
time a business is advertised.
The standard rate is E149 per month for a three-month
listing, with a special rate of E49 per month for small
businesses.
There is also a mobile/text alert service. Anyone
registered with the site can be informed immediately if
a business matching their requirements comes up for
sales or if a buyer matching their requirements logs an
interest.
