Considering buying a floristry business?

[RobinOakapple]

My BIL has taken early retirement and he and my sister want to take over an existing high street florists, nowhere in particular in mind at the moment, anywhere in an area south of Birmingham to the south coast, west of London to the west coast.

Any florists or ex-florists here who would like to comment? I think they are ok for money, it's as much a question of having something to do, and my sister has done a lot of semi-pro flower arranging over the years.

Thanks for the insights.

They seem pretty determined to go ahead with it, as soon as they've found the right place, and there doesn't seem to be any particular reason why they shouldn't, kind of what I thought.

Have they seen accounts for the existing business?

They won't be buying unless they do, my BIL has been looking into that side of things.
