Business for sale in Hurchillo, Orihuela, Alicante

Asking price: €150,000

A rare opportunity has arisen to acquire a highly established and profitable specialist motorhome sales business operating from a prominent main-road position on the Costa Blanca South.

The business has been established in the area for more than 25 years and has built an excellent reputation for customer service, competitive pricing and value for money. Over many years of successful trading, it has developed a recognised presence within the local and international community and benefits from a strong level of customer trust, repeat business and referrals.

The current owner has deliberately maintained a relatively focused business model, specialising primarily in the sale of motorhomes. This provides a purchaser with both a well-established and profitable core operation and significant scope to expand the business into additional areas.

One of the particularly attractive features of the business is its low operating cost base. The premises occupy a good main-road position and are rented at only approximately €800 per month, representing an exceptionally manageable overhead for an established vehicle sales operation. The business has produced strong net profits on a consistent year-on-year basis, with financial information available to suitably qualified prospective purchasers following completion of a confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement. The asking price has intentionally been set at an attractive level to facilitate a sale as the current owner is retiring.

The business currently carries motorhome stock with an approximate trade value of €140,000. The stock value will naturally fluctuate as vehicles are sold and replacement stock is acquired, and an up-to-date stock schedule and valuation can be provided during the due diligence process. The substantial level of trading stock provides a prospective purchaser with an established base from which to continue operating the business immediately.

Although the business has traded successfully for many years, there remains considerable opportunity for a new owner to increase both turnover and profitability. At present, the operation focuses predominantly on motorhome sales. A purchaser could broaden the business by introducing used car sales, thereby utilising the existing premises, customer base and motor-trade infrastructure across a wider range of vehicles.

There is also clear potential to introduce motorhome and campervan rentals, creating an additional recurring income stream and taking advantage of the strong tourism and leisure market across the Costa Blanca.

A further opportunity exists to introduce motorhome servicing, repairs and maintenance. This could provide the business with a valuable recurring revenue stream while also strengthening relationships with existing customers after the initial vehicle sale. Depending on the purchaser’s preferred operating model, these services could potentially include routine servicing, mechanical repairs, electrical work, habitation checks, appliance repairs, accessory installations and general maintenance, either directly or through suitable technical partners.

Vehicle finance represents another potential area for expansion. By working with Spanish banks and finance providers, the business could offer customers greater purchasing flexibility while also creating the opportunity to earn commission on successfully arranged finance.

The business could further benefit from increased digital and social-media marketing, expanded vehicle sourcing and part-exchange activity, and the gradual introduction of additional vehicle categories as demand develops. These opportunities mean that a purchaser is not simply acquiring an established and profitable motorhome sales business, but a platform from which a broader motorhome, leisure vehicle and automotive services operation could be developed.

The Costa Blanca benefits from a substantial permanent expatriate population in addition to the large number of tourists and seasonal residents who visit the region each year. Motorhomes and campervans are particularly well suited to the Spanish and wider European leisure market, and the business has already established itself within this specialist sector. Its long trading history, main-road location, established reputation and specialist knowledge provide significant advantages to a purchaser entering the market compared with establishing a new operation from scratch.

The business is being offered for sale solely due to the retirement of the current owner. To ensure continuity and a smooth transition, the owner is prepared to provide the purchaser with full training and an agreed handover period. This will allow the incoming owner to become familiar with vehicle sourcing, sales procedures, suppliers, customers, administration and the general operation of the business before taking full control.

The business has been established for more than 25 years and operates from a prominent main-road position on the Costa Blanca South. The monthly rent is approximately €800. Current stock has an approximate trade value of €140,000, subject to normal movements as vehicles are sold and new stock is acquired. The business has demonstrated strong net profitability on a year-on-year basis. The principal growth opportunities include the introduction of used car sales, motorhome and campervan rentals, motorhome servicing, repairs and maintenance, vehicle finance commissions and increased digital marketing. The reason for sale is retirement, and the current owner is willing to provide full training and an agreed handover period. The asking price is €150,000.

Due to the established nature of the business, the sale is being handled on a confidential basis. Detailed financial information, current stock schedules and additional operational information will be made available to genuinely interested and financially qualified prospective purchasers once an appropriate non-disclosure agreement has been completed.

This represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a long-established, profitable and low-overhead motor trade business on the Costa Blanca, with the added advantage of substantial potential for future expansion.
