Small gift shop with freehold unit in a Liverpool shopping centre

About this business

Opened in 2023, this small gift shop sells cards, candles, jewellery, local prints and souvenirs from a freehold unit in a Liverpool shopping centre. Three people staff it. Turnover has gone up every year to £300k and adjusted EBITDA from £14k to £20k, so profit is small but rising. The asking price of £55k is about half the net assets of £103k, which include the unit. A buyer gets a freehold shop and a business that could grow with a wider range or online sales.

Key investment highlights

  • Freehold shop unit included
  • Asking price £55k
  • Run by three people
  • Turnover up every year since 2023

Reason for sale

The owner has moved into teaching and no longer has time for the shop.
