Overview

Established in October 2025, the business provides locksmith services to residential and commercial customers throughout the local area, benefiting from strong reported turnover, high net profitability and a very low overhead structure with no commercial premises costs.
The sale comprises the brand name, goodwill and online presence of the business. No tools, equipment or physical assets are included in the sale, as these are being retained by the seller. The opportunity is therefore ideally suited to an experienced locksmith looking to acquire an established brand and incoming enquiry flow, or to an existing locksmith business seeking to expand its coverage and absorb additional leads across Bristol.

Location
Bristol provides an excellent catchment area for locksmith services, with consistent demand from residential customers, landlords, letting agents, commercial premises, emergency call-outs and property maintenance clients. As a fully mobile operation, the business is not tied to any fixed retail or commercial location, giving a purchaser the flexibility to continue operating from a home base, relocate the operational centre within the area, or integrate the business into an existing locksmith or security operation.
Premises & Tenure
The business operates on a home-based model with no commercial premises, no lease obligations and no rent payable. There are no physical assets, tools or equipment included in the sale. This structure keeps fixed overheads to a minimum and allows a purchaser to begin trading with very low ongoing costs from day one.
