Potential
We are a small family business & has great potential to do well, needs someone with the passion and drive. We would provide a few weeks training until the buyer is confortable with running the business. We originally shared the premises \ rent with another business, which kept the costs of rent at a moderate rate, they have moved on & we now pay the $750 rent per week. There is still an option to share premise with another business if desired. We would be prepared to rent 1/2 premise off a potential buyer for a short term (3-6 months)
