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."
