Garden Nurseries
Growing the business seeds
Gardens and gardening is a huge national pastime and they offer massive potential for many businesses associated with this sector.
Although the customer base huge, there is far more to running a business in this sector than just rolling plants out for sale in spring and waiting for the cash to roll in! This is very much a seasonal business and the growing months from March to July are generally the busiest months of the year. The sector is no longer just about plants: gardening tools, pets, outdoor living, barbecues, cafes, and let’s not forget Christmas!
Cartwrights has a strong and varied portfolio of clients in the Garden Nursery sector.
We understand the wide range of business issues that business owners and managers have to deal with throughout the year and we are able to provide proactive advice at the point it is needed.
We can offer advice in finance and business start-up, staffing matters, tailored accounting systems, guidance on VAT, budgeting and cashflows to cope with inevitable seasonality and diversification of product lines and services.
