Artisan bakery with freehold premises near Birmingham

About this business

A small artisan bakery on the rural edge of Birmingham, baking sourdough, enriched breads and pastries for its own counter, local farm shops and a handful of cafés. The bakery owns its building, which passes to the buyer. It is run by a team of 4 who bake through the night and sell from early morning. Sales have slipped from £291k in 2021 to £250k, but EBITDA has held near £50k, so the bakery remains a sound living for an owner-baker. A buyer could rebuild sales through more wholesale accounts or weekend markets.

Key investment highlights

  • Freehold rural premises included
  • EBITDA of £48k on £250k of sales
  • Sourdough and pastries, also sold to farm shops
  • Asking price £150k

Reason for sale

The owner is moving to Devon to be nearer family.
