💧New TO Market - Independent Drainage Specialist

- £660k turnover
- EBITDA £131k
- Offers invited

For a regional drainage operator with ambitions to expand, or a national franchise looking to establish a further foothold in the North West with a ready-made, accredited team, acquisition is a considerably quicker route than building organically.

This business can offer you a strong local presence, built on the back of very focussed marketing campaigns which are ripe for replicating, thus continuing the strong growth already seen. Customer satisfaction reviews are excellent and the employee base is stable.

The business:
✅ SMAS accredited.
✅ WRC-approved CCTV surveys.
✅ 90-day guarantee on all work.
✅ 24/7 emergency cover across domestic and commercial clients.
✅ Fixed pricing, no overtime charges.

Full details, name and location are available under NDA to qualified parties. Message me here or enquire via the Business Partnership website.

Own a Piece of Scottish History ✨🍞

We’re thrilled to present a rare opportunity to acquire Alexander Taylor Bakery - Scotland’s oldest bakery, with over 200 years of heritage behind it. For the first time in its two-century history, this beloved corner of Strathaven is on the market. 

📍 Why this is a standout opportunity:
• Turnover over £750,000/year, with gross margins around 75% - a solid, profitable foundation. 
• Two iconic high-street premises: a bustling café & deli on one corner, and a full production bakery & retail shop directly opposite - both with strong footfall and deep community roots. 
• A loyal customer base and experienced team already in place - meaning a new owner can step in and continue trading smoothly. 
• Plenty of growth potential: think digital ordering, wholesale supply, catering, and tapping into the bakery’s rich story to build on brand value. 

Ready for a new chapter?
Whether you’re passionate about traditional baking or looking for a profitable hospitality investment with heritage and growth potential, this is one of the most compelling offers on the market.
