Thinking about stocktaking?
What is stocktaking?
Looking for a stocktaker?
I work for one of the UK's largest Stocktaking companies (although they don't like calling it that!)
If you have any questions about this, please feel free to ask
I can also provide a quote for :
Scotland, conducted by myself
Scotland, conducted by the company
UK, conducted by the company
Here are my rates :
Typical rate is 1.5% of valuation at cost, subject to a minimum of £250
A lower rate of 1.0% can be offered if the client accepts all travelling and accomodation costs
A typical example :
A customer requires a stocktake, giving six weeks notice (the minimum requierd)
Having never been to the store some basic details of estimated stock holding, photographs, or a pre-visit, as appropriate
It is established that the store requires four stocktakers (counters) plus myself, having viewed the photographs that the client supplied for their premises
The client estimates the stock to be worth £65,000 ex-VAT
Two quotes are provided (as above), the customer agreed to the optional cost
Travel time is estimated at three hours, due to this accomodation is also required (the accomodation threshold is two hours driving time)
Start time is 06:00 and the count is completed at 16:30, and the stocktakers left the premises
The store did not make any mention of a container, which also needed to be counted, which resulted in the late finish
The total valuation was £83,500 ex-VAT
A valuation report was left and signed by the owner, the auditor leaving at 17:30
The standard cost of the Stocktake was £1252.50
The optional cost of the Stocktake was £835.00 plus £100.00 for accomodation and £425.00 for travel, totalling £1360.00
