Established Artisan Ice Cream Manufacturing Business For Sale

In, Wiltshire, UK
Asking Price:
On request
Turnover:
£50K - £100K
Net Profit:
On request

An exceptional opportunity for an entrepreneur or existing food manufacturer to acquire and develop an established artisan ice cream manufacturing and wholesale business.

  • Established 15 year brand
  • Existing wholesale customers
  • £60k current turnover
  • Further £60k opportunity in the short term
  • Medium term opportunity of £500k+
  • High capacity continuous production equipment available
  • Much valued EHO manufacturing license for wholesale sales available
  • 100+ recipes

Our manufacturing/wholesale business currently operates below its potential capacity, creating a significant opportunity for a new owner with wholesale sales contacts to scale production.

Our newly installed continuous production machine is capable of dramatically increasing production capacity and may be available to the purchaser subject to a transfer of our finance agreement.

We have a highly valuable EHO manufacturing license which can be transferred subject to the new owner meeting relevant food hygiene standards and expertise.

Property Information

Premises Details:

Our premises are currently sub-let from the previous owners. Their lease will come to and end in March 2027, which is the perfect opportunity for the new owners to find premises which suit their own budget and plans for the business.

Business Operation

Management type:
This business is owner operated.
Expansion Potential:

If you retain our continuous freezer production machine, the sky will be the limit! We estimate it could easily allow you to 8x our current turnover. We have several large leisure locations in our area who would are interested in signing up to a contract with us early next year - they love our brand and working with a local supplier who uses local ingredients in their products.

Competition / Market:

Wholesale artisan ice cream sales are a very localised business due to the need for freezer based transportation. We have very few competitors within a 50 mile radius who would be ready to complete with a purchaser who offered a customer led, high quality product.

Reasons for selling:

We purchased both a B2C ice cream shop, and a manufacturing/wholesale facility early last year. This year we added a van and trailer to the B2C business.

We have decided that our future is in the B2C part of the business, which we see being a major client of the person who takes over the manufacturing/wholesale business we are selling.

Employees:
One employee, plus some management input from the owner.
Years established:
2011

Other Information

Support & training:

We will hand over all the information required to ensure you can use all aspects of our equipment and recipes, and will happily help out with information as you get started. As we will be one of your largest clients initially, it is in our interest for you to be successful!

Owner financing:
Owner financing is available. Please contact the seller for more information.
Financing available:

While we would prefer a cash sale, we are willing to entertain a part cash - part on-going payment arrangement.

Relocatable:
This business can be relocated
