Business Details

An exciting opportunity to acquire a well-established luxury picnic company that grew out of Covid lockdowns with over 6 years of successful trading and an excellent reputation across London & the Home Counties.

The business specialises in delivering bespoke, themed luxury picnics during the UK summer months from April to September although has provided for customers indoors outside of these months. Customer themes range from individuals requiring Engagement celebrations, Hen Parties, Baby Showers, Birthdays & Anniversaries to corporate clients requesting industry-specific themed events.

With an extensive Instagram presence of 15k followers and a portfolio of five-star reviews, repeat customers and strong word-of-mouth referrals, the company has developed a loyal customer base and a strong position within its market.

The model is straightforward, scalable and readily transferable to a new owner. There are currently no employees, no VAT registration and its low fixed-cost base also provides considerable scope to increase turnover and profitability as additional bookings are secured. 

The company has demonstrated strong and consistent profitability, with financial performance including:

• Over 6 years of trading
• Annual average revenue (April – Sept) £12,500
• Annual average profit (April – Sept) £8,000
• Peak trading years of 2022-2025 following establishment of the business, gave revenue of c.£47,000, gross profit of c. £42,000 from 90 events during the months May to August over that 4-year period.
• Extensive existing stock in good condition means minimal spend needed to increase profit.
• Lean, low-overhead operating structure operating as Sole Trader with no employees or VAT registration.
• Strong demand during peak trading periods of June, July, August.

 The current sole trader business operates with the help of her spouse as the business generally requires a 2-person delivery & set-up.

The current business tends to work with local suppliers to provide food & beverage, but the opportunity exists to provide in house catering which would significantly increase revenue and profit.

Operations are currently limited to a 50-mile radius of North Hampshire but demand outside of this area regularly means that enquiries are turned down due to owner/operator capacity, providing an excellent platform for a new owner to build further growth if running multiple teams. 

A new owner will have numerous opportunities to develop the business further, including:

• Introducing strategic pricing increases and yield management.
• Increasing out of season indoor bookings and reducing seasonal fluctuations.
• Increasing capacity during peak periods.
• Expanding the geographic service area.
• Developing additional activities, packages and corporate offerings.

Given the business's established reputation, extensive stock levels and lean cost base, relatively modest increases in revenue could translate into meaningful additional profit. 

The business is being offered for as a fully turnkey operation with comprehensive handover support available to ensure a smooth transition for the incoming owner as the sole trader has a growing family which now severely restricts acceptance of bookings.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a proven, profitable and well-regarded events business with an established customer following, low overheads and substantial untapped growth potential. It represents an attractive opportunity for an owner-operator looking to acquire an established business with immediate cash flow, or for an existing events, leisure or hospitality operator seeking a complementary bolt-on acquisition.
