Do you have what it takes to successfully run a business? If so, there are several for sale right on your doorstep.
There are plenty of reasons for owners to list their businesses for sale- perhaps they are heading into retirement or maybe they want to embark on other business ventures.
As we are currently in lockdown, starting a new business might be the last thing on your mind.
However, when restrictions ease and people can visit places once again local businesses will be thriving.
The right owner could breathe new life into business, further improving its reputation and profit margins.
From pubs to takeaways, here are five businesses for sale in Bradford:
Great Northern, Thornton
£225,000
Have you ever dreamed about running your own pub?
Luckily for you, now is your chance as this business is up for sale.
The building is Grade II listed and it is presented to a very high standard.
While the bar area is small, there is potential to develop and expand this area- once the necessary consents and permissions are granted.
The bar itself has a contemporary aesthetic with an external terrace that would be a great place to relax in the summer months.
Also included in the price is the two bedroom apartment above the pub.
However, the owner would require the successful purchaser to fund the splitting of the utilities and any other costs associated with the separation from the pub next door.
Burger Time, Great Horton Road
£149,500
This takeaway and diner is a popular business in the area- particularly with students.
Not only do they trade in store, but they are also available on leading online takeaway sites such as Just Eat.
Some of the décor is newly fitted and the on-site kitchen is incredibly modern and stylish.
Gin and cocktail bar, Thornton
£24,950
When lockdown restrictions ease, people will flock to bars and pubs eager to try as many trendy and new places as possible.
That’s when owning a contemporary gin bar will play to your advantage.
This particular establishment has only recently been converted into this modern drinking scene and has a weekly turnover of around £2000.
In the short time it was open, it was a very popular places “renowned for its welcoming atmosphere and chic environment.”
However, there is scope to develop it further as it is only open on Friday and Saturday evenings.
By day, it could sell coffee and cakes to customers.
Sandwich bar, Beacon Road, Wibsey
£16,950
Over the years, this sandwich bar has developed a sterling reputation and garnered a loyal customer base.
Ideally located, it benefits from “masses” of passing trade and already has relatively good profit margins with a weekly turnover of £1000 per week.
However, a new business owner could improve these profit margins even further by expanding opening hours.
Truly Scrumptious restaurant/ café, Dudley Hill Road
£3950
Have you ever dreamed of running your very own café?
If so, you might be in luck as this business is on the market.
Truly Scrumptious is already a solid business- but the current owner has been forced to put it on the market due to ill health.
Internally, it is a decent size sales shop with a well equipped kitchen.
The building itself is in a great location, just off the Bradford Ring Road.
