Optical Sector
Realise your business vision
Look towards your future
Over 74% of British adults wear corrective eyewear or have had laser eye surgery to correct vision problems. This staggering figure illustrates the demand on the UK's optical sector, where opticians are under pressure to serve customers better than ever.
Having to balance the medical and fashion-based requirements of your audience means opticians have to equip their facilities with a combination of efficient equipment, competent staff and attractive eyewear that catches customer attention. An optical business is essentially both a healthcare and retail provider at once, which adds more pressure to your operations and growth plans.
Here at Rangewell, we can help opticians of all types to grow their businesses or even start new ones. From asset finance that helps you purchase specialist machinery without having to offer personal securities through to business loans to help you take a step into ownership, we can discuss the lenders and loan types available before negotiating on your behalf to win a better rate.
