Inverness Campervans is an excellent opportunity for someone who wishes to run a profitable lifestyle business. The present owners run the business operation to suit their lifestyle choices. The business operation is based purely on the hire of campervans for either 5 or 7 day minimum hires. The campervans are rented from the campervan fitout company which the owners also own, Inverness Leisure Vehicles (ILV). It is intended that the new owners would either buy the vehicle stock from ILV or buy a different type of van from another source.
The business operates over the main tourist months and currently the business operates with a mileage limit of 100 miles per day. The business does not hire out vehicles during the winter months however this could be an option for a new owner to harness and catch business from hill walkers etc. This trading strategy has been rewarding for the current owners and the business benefits from 5 star reviews on Google.
The business uses Wheelbase, https://www.wheelbasepro.com/, to completely control their bookings and take all payments. It is said that it very easy to use and provides a great level of reporting.
Location
Though based in Nairn currently, the business could be located anywhere, though the name suggests a location close to Inverness. Inverness acts as the transport hub for the north of Scotland, with all main truck routes meeting here. The Highlands of Scotland is a great attraction for visitor, with the NC500 to the North and the Great Glen and the Cairngorm National Park to the south. To the east is the whisky trail and the NEC250 is growing in prominence. These tourist specific natural attractions make campervan holidays very attractive, particularly in remote areas where accommodation is sparse.
Inverness is the commercial and administrative centre for the Highlands of Scotland. It is a vibrant city with a population in excess of 50,000 and a geographical shopping catchment area spanning 10,000 square miles, with a potential catchment population of around 200,000. Within the holiday season, the town attracts many thousands of visitors who come to experience the Highlands in all its glory. Inverness has extensive facilities for residents and visitors boasting three golf courses, a theatre (Eden Court), an excellent indoor swimming complex, two cinemas, ten pin bowling and many opportunities to enjoy an evening’s entertainment at a range of venues. Inverness is a busy tourist destination with its population swelling greatly in the main tourist season. Whether it is a whisky trail, a boat trip on Loch Ness or a visit to one of the many accessible Scottish castles, the property is ideally situated to catch the eye of the many tourists who choose to visit. Inverness is a vibrant and growing City and with such expansion comes many opportunities in both commerce and social activities. Such growth benefits established businesses and ensures a year-round potential trade.
