About this business
A small independent cafe in a Birmingham suburb, serving coffee, breakfasts, light lunches and home-made cakes to locals, parents after the school run and people working nearby. Four people staff the rented unit. Sales since opening in 2022 have sat close to £150k, while EBITDA has edged up each year to £29k, a healthy margin of about 19% for a cafe this size. A buyer could step straight in as owner-operator, or extend opening hours to grow sales.
