Profitable printing business with two town centre shops put up for sale

A printing business with two prime locations in Ipswich is on the market for £349,999, as the current owner shifts focus to another project.

Why it matters: The sale offers a rare opportunity to acquire an established business with an existing customer base and fully equipped premises in two high-footfall areas of Ipswich town centre.

By the numbers:

  • Asking price: £349,999

  • Annual turnover: £220,000

What's included: The business comes with an established brand identity, modern online presence across multiple social media platforms, professional printing technology, and a loyal customer base with positive Google reviews.

The bigger picture: The Carr Street location has been operating since 2020, while the St Peter's Street shop is described as "a fresh venture just waiting to take off."

What they're saying: "With one shop already performing well and the other still fresh, there's huge potential to scale whether through expanding services, increasing marketing efforts, or securing B2B contracts," according to the agent leading the sale of the business.

For context: Both shops maintain different operating hours:

  • St Peter's Street: 08:30-17:30 Monday to Saturday and 09:30-16:00 Sunday

  • Carr Street: 09:00-17:00 Monday to Saturday and 10:00-16:00 Sunday

The bottom line: The owner is pursuing "another passion project," creating what the seller describes as "the perfect opportunity for a new entrepreneur to take over and expand this already profitable business."
