An established independent premium tea business with proven revenue across retail, ecommerce and wholesale channels. The business has traded for more than a decade and has developed a distinctive product range, repeat consumer demand and an established base of commercial customers.
The asking price includes approximately £14,000 of normal stockholding, packaging, furniture and equipment, based on typical trading levels, giving a purchaser a well-stocked and operational business from day one.
Turnover for the most recent completed financial year was approximately £88,000, with net profit of approximately £10,000. Revenue is diversified across physical retail/POS sales, an active Shopify ecommerce store and wholesale supply to cafés, hospitality venues and other commercial customers.
The sale is intended to be highly turnkey and will include the brand and goodwill, ecommerce website and domain, social and digital assets, product recipes and blends, packaging and creative assets, supplier relationships, customer relationships, equipment and a substantial holding of tea and packaging inventory.
The opportunity would suit an existing tea, coffee, food, hospitality or ecommerce operator looking for a bolt-on acquisition, or an entrepreneur seeking to acquire an established consumer brand rather than build one from scratch.
There is clear scope to grow ecommerce, wholesale distribution, hospitality supply, corporate gifting and digital marketing activity, while an existing operator may also benefit from integrating the brand into its current fulfilment, sales or distribution infrastructure.
The current owners are pursuing other professional commitments and are seeking a straightforward transaction. A sensible handover period will be provided to support continuity with suppliers, customers and operating processes.
