Business information:

 The business is currently run on part time basis, mainly operating on Saturdays only between March to November as we have full time 9-5 jobs Mon – Fri and so has essentially been an excellent source of additional income. There is significant scope to extend the amount and type of bookings (our main source of clients have been wedding bookings)

25 confirmed bookings for 2024 so far beginning from March with an average of 3-4 enquiries a week for 2024 and 2025. We are currently limiting bookings to 2 per weekend over the summer period so plenty of scope to increase to 3 at weekends plus weekday bookings/longer running events like festivals). There are also a number of confirmed bookings and enquiries for 2025 but are reluctantly turning away enquiries until we have found a suitable buyer.

High ranking business website, social media and strong track record and reputation. Website ranking for key words is average position of 1.2 on google (more info can be provided of key words).

Award winning business: South West Wedding Award 2023 for Professional Services and

LUXlife Best Bespoke Mobile Bar in South West

2023 Turnover £78K (operating Saturdays only from March to Nov)

2024 estimated turnover with current bookings in excess of £50K (but have paused taking additional bookings temporarily until we find a suitable buyer)

Income streams include bar hire fees, wedding drinks package, in person sales at events and equipment hire at present.

This is a very reluctant sale but due to ill health are no longer able to commit the additional time and physical effort required to run the business. Ideally we would like to find someone who can take the business on and honour the existing bookings with the passion and motivation to provide exceptional customer service and continue to maintain and grow the current success and reputation that has been built over the last 5 years.

Full operational handover will be provided to go through the details of existing bookings and current operating model of the business. Training can also be provided if required for setting up the bars and draught beer systems etc.
