Business in sun protection

The company has existed for more than 100 years and has always been located in the same place. The current owner took over from his father at the beginning of this century and expanded the business to what it is today; a stable business, with reliable suppliers and a diversity of private and business customers, located at the edge of a business park, in a good visibility location along a through route in a provincial town. At the business park there are several showrooms for furniture.

Business activities
The business specializes in the supply, installation, maintenance and repair of awnings (interior and exterior), garage doors and canopies. Examples of awnings include articulated screens, drop-down screens, screens, shutters, curtains and blinds, mosquito nets and cloths. The advice to private and business customers is done in-house and the installation and maintenance is done partly by the company's own staff and partly by temporary workers and hired freelancers. The ratio of private individuals to business clients is currently 58 - 42%.

Details
In addition to the entrepreneur, the business has 9 salaried employees and for specific assembly jobs it uses an extensive and permanent group of temporary workers and ZZP'ers. With this, the business is flexible enough and can save on personnel during any downturn. However, revenue is constant at around € 2 million annually, with a healthy and constant return.
