We are pleased to present to the market this long-established wholesale bakery business, being offered for sale for the first time in over 30 years due to the vendor's pending retirement.
With a sizeable turnover and high profit margins, as well as scope for increasing revenue further by taking on some of the new customers that regularly enquire, there is much for a new owner to be excited about.
This is an ideal standalone business for an owner-operator, but it would also make a great addition to an existing company in a similar sector, who would benefit from incorporating a bakery production unit into their business model.
THE BUSINESS
The business specialises in the production of sweet and savoury food products and treats. Although they currently do not produce bread, this is an area that a new owner could easily expand into if desired. With all sales currently to business customers, including some nationally recognised brands, there is potential to offer products to the general public or branch out into retail sales.
The business operates on an extended 4-day week with no weekend or night working, which will no doubt appeal to a new owner as well as the staff. This schedule does allow for the possibility to increase turnover if desired. Deliveries are undertaken 5 days a week, typically completed by around 1:00 pm.
It is noted that the new refrigerated van is not included in the sale price, but it can be included at the equity value at the time of purchase if the hire-purchase agreement is carried on. Alternatively, it can be included with the hire-purchase repaid on the basis that the full then-current value of the vehicle is paid in addition on completion. A further shareholder's truck is excluded from the sale, and any outstanding hire-purchase at the time will be repaid in full by the vendor.
