Well-Established Battersea Café | Solid Income for Working Owner | £100k
Annual Turnover: £600k-£750k | 10+ Year Lease
This is an opportunity to own a well-run café in a good Battersea location seconds from Clapham Common.
The business has been trading successfully for years with a loyal local customer base and consistent turnover.
The Business:
A neighbourhood café doing steady trade throughout the week. Good breakfast and lunch service, quality coffee, and regular customers who come back.
The kind of business where you know your customers by name and they know you.
The numbers are solid - £600k-£750k annual turnover. For a working owner-operator putting in proper hours, you're looking at £100k+ income per year.
Not a get-rich-quick scheme, just honest work with decent returns in a quality area.
Location & Lease:
The site is in a residential part of Battersea with good foot traffic from local residents, families, and professionals. Strong community feel, people actually live here rather than just passing through.
The lease is inside the act, and the landlord is solid.
You've got over 10 years remaining on the lease at reasonable terms.
Operations:
Everything's set up properly. Commercial kitchen with good equipment, POS system, Rota for staff scheduling. Quality LA Marzocco 2g machine and grinders as well as a filter coffee program.
The team knows what they're doing - experienced manager and staff who are familiar with the business.
This isn't semi-absentee - you'll need to be involved, especially in the beginning. But the systems work and the foundations are there.
The venue is split over the ground floor with 8 seats out front, lots of natural light. Big takeaway area and counter display offering. To the rear, we have 50pax + 12 in the rear courtyard that gets light and peaceful all day long.
We have never traded in the evening, but there is scope to evolve the offering. Never attempted to obtain an alcohol license
Why Selling:
I'm consolidating my portfolio to focus on other projects. This is a solid performer, but I need to direct my time elsewhere. Solid business with instant cash-flow and salary, and suited to a first-time business operator as everything is done and would hit the ground running, profiting from day one.
Price: £100k-£150k Neg
