accessible for everyone. The town center location is very convenient and easy to get to, and appointments can be tailored around the client’s schedule.

The key areas of business are:
ï‚· Ayurvedic healthcare, comprising consultations and tailor-made detox programmed on a day care basis.
ï‚· Ayurvedic massage and beauty treatments, which cater both to individuals with an awareness of Ayurveda as well as those who would like a massage either for relaxation or localized pain alleviation.
ï‚· Training in Ayurvedic massage techniques as well as Ayurvedic principles.
ï‚· Residential retreats, which can either be group or private.
Included in the sale: Full Ayurvedic massage equipment, high-end spa management software license, computer equipment. Also included in the sale is a well optimized website.

Growth Areas
There are a number of prospective revenue streams that have significant prospects, but are currently not appropriately targeted:

ï‚· Ayurvedic training is currently an under-developed service in this business, but has great potential for growth. There are very few genuine Ayurvedic training providers in the UK, whilst there is a substantial and growing interest in Ayurvedic treatments from therapists, who are always keen to learn new styles. This is a high margin service.
ï‚· Residential retreats have substantial potential for growth, although it has not been fully developed as yet. In partnership with a local hotel the business is now able to offer private residential retreats on any weekend.
ï‚· On-site chair massages, Ayurvedic consultations and seminars for corporate clients is another area that has excellent growth potential. Once a contract is signed with a company, it virtually guarantees a fixed income every month. There is also excellent scope for cross-selling services to interested company employees.
ï‚· Roll out of Oasis Therapy to offer sports massage, reflexology, reiki and osteopathy.
ï‚· Beauty services are limited at present, but there is a huge opportunity to grow this side of the business.
