Unfortunately small businesses like this often go under because of lack of local support and cash flow problems.

The owner/s have to make choices about what stock to hold which gets very expensive especially if potential buyers are not interested in that brand or model so they end up stuck with stock and less cash.

Also how many people really supported their business by buying from them?? or purchased items from the internet that they could have purchased through them? Nowadays many people buy from an internet supplier because of better pricing (even if the saving is small) allowing them to spread their money around on more things.

As an opposing example places like Bintel are all ready well established, have good dealership agreements and understand their market very well. They also have great support from local community as well as internet trading.
