EXPANSION OPPORTUNITIES
Retail Premises: There is scope to move the service into a retail-based premises to allow the business more space to increase capacity, increase brand awareness and sell direct to the consumer with the knowledge that an existing successful business to business model is already in operation.
Increase Delivery Network: The business operates throughout East of England and the surrounding areas, however there is huge scope to increase the reach and introduce a wider delivery network to businesses outside of the current area.
Outside Catering: With the cakes being of a beautiful design, there is scope to introduce an events-based side of the business to include weddings, parties and celebratory cakes as a made to order product.
Website Development: The business attracts custom through local reputation and links with local businesses, however there is an opportunity to develop the website to introduce the option for customers to purchase cakes through delivery or click and collect.
Additional Locations: The business has established itself as a firm favourite for the end consumer and with such a strong product, we felt this could be used to springboard the brand into additional locations with a similar set up to this in strategic locations across the UK.
Market Events: The business operates throughout the week, however there is scope to introduce a direct-to-consumer side of the business through the booking and attendance of makers markets in market towns on weekends for increased revenue and brand awareness.
PREMISES
With this being run from the vendors current home and this opportunity being free from tie, there is scope for an incoming operator to expand into retail space, an external commercial kitchen with more capacity or move the current kitchen setup into another converted home space.
The current kitchen can easily be moved to a new owner’s premises with the stainless steel worksurfaces and ovens being easy to uplift and move to an alternative site.
