FOR SALE – Licensed London Private Hire Operator | Turnkey Heathrow & Greater London Transfer Business

CoGoGo presents to the market an exceptional opportunity to acquire a fully licensed, operational private hire business serving Heathrow and Greater London. This is a genuine turnkey acquisition where the significant time, cost, and regulatory barriers to entry have already been overcome.

The business has been fully established, licensed, integrated, and is actively trading, allowing a new owner to focus on growth rather than setup.

Key Assets Included:

TfL Private Hire Operator Licence
The business holds a fully operational TfL Private Hire Operator Licence, valid until 27 February 2029 and renewable subject to TfL approval. This is the key asset of the business, as obtaining a new licence can cost £7,000–£8,000 and typically takes 6–12 months to secure. The buyer benefits from immediate market access without the time, cost, and uncertainty of a new application.

Complete iCabbi Dispatch Infrastructure
The industry-leading dispatch and booking platform is fully configured and operational, including online booking capability, automated dispatch workflows, real-time tracking, and customer management systems.

Established B2B Booking Integrations
Connected and trading through recognised industry platforms, including Minicabit, TaxiCode, OTS, and other trade networks, providing immediate access to booking channels and work opportunities from day one.

Operational Dispatch Team
An experienced dispatch function is currently in place and may be available to transfer to the new owner through a separate agreement, providing continuity and immediate operational capability.

Configured Pricing & Route Management
Comprehensive fare structures, airport transfer pricing, route mapping, and costings are already built into the system and actively utilised.

Contractor Driver Network
Access to a database of hundreds of registered contractor drivers, offering scalable supply capacity without the need to build a driver network from scratch.

Established Brand & Digital Presence
Includes company branding, domain name, professional website, online booking portal, customer communication systems, flight monitoring functionality, and meet-and-greet service offering.

Strategic Heathrow Positioning
Located within one of the UK's most active airport transfer markets, providing a strong foundation for future growth.

Location
The business is based in West Drayton, benefiting from close proximity to Heathrow Airport and excellent transport links, making it ideally positioned to serve airport and executive travel customers.



Premises
The business operates from leasehold serviced office accommodation, providing a professional and cost-effective operational base.



Tenure

Leasehold.

We are advised that the premises are occupied under a rolling monthly rental agreement. Rent is advised at £3,500 per annum.



Hours
The business operates on a 24/7 basis, with services provided around customer bookings and demand.



Staff
The business currently has no PAYE staff. Drivers operate using their own vehicles and are supported by the business software, driver app and customer booking app.



Financial Profile

The business currently operates at break-even level, having previously achieved break-even performance and remaining on course to do so again. It is not being marketed as a profit-generating business but rather as a fully operational platform with substantial infrastructure already in place.

The value lies within the regulatory approvals, technology stack, operational systems, driver network, and market positioning. For an existing operator, fleet owner, transport business, or entrepreneur with access to demand channels, this acquisition removes many of the most time-consuming and capital-intensive stages of launching a London private hire operation.
