A icensed sex shop business is up for sale in the South West of England. Turnover is ?300,000 and the gross profit on merchandise sold is....wait for it...a staggering 67% i.e ?201,000. Who says there is no money in this industry?!

Not me m8. I'm just an average punter that has probably contributed to some of the profit in the industry over the years! And, I should say, I have been well pleased with what I've bought so no complaints from me. The flyer that I got about it being for sale doesn't give a reason but the figures are guaranteed to be correct. If I had the money it sounds like a good business to get into!

What, you believe a guarantee from a flyer from a sex shop??!! I got a similar one from Nigeria that guaranteed me $100,000,000, if I sent them ?20,000 to "Release the funds"
I'll let you know when I get my cash!!!
Joking

Have a word with your bank manager with your business plan with the massive profit promised, after he's laughed himself silly, tell him its a sex shop and watch his laughing turn into a serious look as he asks you to leave his office or he'll get the security to throw you out.

I'm sure that sex shops will remain highly profitable fot some time to come, but it will be interesting to see how big an impact Ofcom will have when they remove the existing ITC ban on R18 content from UK subscription television early next year. (Ofcom announcement expected within 2 weeks).

It isn't a 'flyer' from the shop itself but a bona fide 'flyer' from a licensed business transfer agency along with plenty of other different businesses in different industries for sale. It only caught my eye because of the subject matter. The business transfer firm are legit and they wouldn't carry any adverts for businesses for sale unless they were kosha.

just talked to a friend who has the franchise on the private shop in derby, he can't see how these figures can be kosher!
