About this business
An artisan bakery working from a leased unit on the edge of Sunderland, producing sourdough, rye, focaccia and pastries for a market stall, a click-and-collect hatch and a list of independent cafés. It has traded since 2013 and employs 4 people. Sales have grown every year from £172k in 2021 to £210k, and EBITDA has risen faster, from £16k to £28k, as the bakery has grown into its fixed costs. A buyer takes on a steady local following and a trade that is still building.
