A rare opportunity to acquire a thriving, well-established bakery in a prime residential location — with a UK Sponsorship Licence included.
This is a profitable, turnkey bakery business in the heart of a prime residential area in Essex. Known locally for freshly baked goods and a loyal, repeat customer base, the business is being offered as a going concern — fully fitted, fully operational, and ready for a new owner to step straight in.
This is an ideal purchase for an owner-operator or anyone enthusiastic about bakery and fresh food looking to be their own boss, or an investor seeking an established business with strong, consistent cash flow.
This is an equity sale not an asset sale. My contact number is +447789233366
The business also includes a UK Sponsorship Licence — the business holds a Home Office sponsorship licence for up to 4 skilled worker permits, a genuinely rare and valuable asset that allows the new owner to recruit and sponsor overseas staff. This alone is costly and time-consuming to obtain independently.

Why This Business Stands Out
Established & profitable — a proven trading history with steady daily takings and a healthy 18% net margin.
UK Sponsorship Licence included — the business holds a Home Office sponsorship licence for up to 4 skilled worker permits, a genuinely rare and valuable asset that allows the new owner to recruit and sponsor overseas staff. This alone is costly and time-consuming to obtain independently.
Loyal local customer base — situated in a densely populated residential area with strong repeat custom and excellent word-of-mouth reputation.
Fully fitted & operational — all commercial baking equipment, ovens, display units and fixtures in place. No set-up costs — start trading from day one.
Turnkey operation — established systems, suppliers and processes already in place.
Scope to grow — clear potential to extend opening hours, add wholesale/catering, online ordering and delivery, outdoor BBQ or expand the product range.
