There are shops for sale right now: buy an existing store and you could start trading profitably within weeks.
Why buy an existing retail shop?
Whether you're after a leasehold or freehold retail shop for sale, or a shop and flat for sale, our listings are regularly updated with new opportunities. Freehold shops give you complete ownership, long-term security, fewer restrictions, and full control over how you run the business, while leasehold stores for sale offer the opportunity to buy a shop at a lower entry price and start trading right away.
Established assets always have value if you know how to take advantage of it. When you buy a retail business, you have freedom to keep the things the same or introduce new tactics to improve performance. You get the best of both worlds: total creative control without the need to lay the groundwork.
This is ideal for budding entrepreneurs and established traders. The former benefit from an easier route to gaining finance, an established customer base, and existing employees that know the business. The latter get the chance to expand their retail portfolio and build a brand.
