Ref 2654B  Traditional High Street Butcher For Sale
Berkshire, UK
Asking Price:  £250,000 Furniture / Fixtures included

Turnover:  £1,147,000

Net Profit:  £296,000

Unusual opportunity to acquire this well-established and profitable sole trade business providing a comprehensive range of meat.

Aimed very much at the mid to upper end of the market it supplies premium meat products, almost entirely to order with only a few pre-prepared or pre-packaged goods such as burgers, kebabs and sausages, which it also makes itself.

There are 4 staff in the shop and a small admin / support team.

Good profits are made on sales approaching £1.2m in the current financial year. The business has been growing steadily recently anyway but has undoubtedly benefitted from shopping habit changes during the pandemic. There can be no certainty, but it is estimated that sales will return to c£1m post lockdown with c15% net profit.

The vast majority of sales are retail through the shop, to a long standing and loyal client base. In addition there are c15 clients who take deliveries, mostly local households of wealthy families plus a couple of dignitaries.

Leasehold Rent: £48,000 per annum
