* This information is generated from our assessment of Fair Maintainable Trade (FMT) at Sun Inn and is based on certain assumptions and information provided by our licensees (to be disclosed on request). FMT is the level of turnover we would expect the pub to achieve within its market and this is assessed in line with good industry practice and relevant accountancy standards.
Wherever possible we have also included the pub's current trading information as at 6th March 2011 in addition to FMT. This is taken from our sales information (barrelage) and information from the licensees such as their trading information and cost base.
We would expect you to use the FMT information to help form the financial element of your business plan. These figures above are an estimate based on FMT and you may think that you can exceed or conversely not achieve these. As this stage we would strongly recommend that you take independent financial advice to help you form a budgeted profit and loss statement.
This information is not intended to amount to advice, a statement of fact, a guarantee, a representation, a condition or a warranty on which reliance should be placed but is our opinion only. We therefore, to the extent permitted by law, disclaim all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on such information by you or anyone informed of its contents.
You are advised to carry out your own financial investigations and inspections into the pub to satisfy yourself as to the correctness of the above information, whether or not you can achieve these figures and as to the trading potential of this pub. You will be given a shadow profit and loss account and other details of the pub when you make a formal enquiry – this will be given within our Code of Practice which also contains other details about Everards.
Historic information is not an indicator of future performance of a pub and you should bear this in mind in your assessment.
