Established High Street Barbershop With Existing Team & Growth Potential

Barber & Boar is an established and well-regarded barbershop in a prominent High Street position in Hurstpierpoint, West Sussex, within easy reach of Brighton. The business has built a strong local reputation, loyal repeat clientele and numerous five-star customer reviews.

The shop also benefits from a well-established Booksy customer database with over 2,300 customers, including around 610 highly loyal clients who have visited at least three times within the last three months. This provides a strong base of regular repeat business, while still leaving plenty of scope to attract new and returning customers.

The business is fully fitted and ready to trade, with four barbering stations, three currently occupied. The existing self-employed barbers have indicated that they would be keen to remain with the business under the right new owner, particularly if Barber & Boar continues with the same overall identity, standards and direction.

The shop currently trades only four days per week, Wednesday to Saturday, yet generates approximately £12,000 per month through card payments. There is clear scope to increase turnover through additional opening days, extended hours, recruiting a fourth barber, retail product sales and further marketing.

The business has grown largely organically, with little to no paid advertising. This gives a new owner a strong opportunity to develop social media, digital advertising and local promotions to build on an already established customer base.

The sale includes the existing fixtures, fittings and equipment, including four Belmont Dainty barber chairs purchased new in February, barbering workstations, external awning and barber pole, air conditioning, heating, televisions, dehumidifiers and general shop equipment.

The business is being sold purely due to the owner’s family commitments. After starting a family, the owner is looking to spend more time at home and is no longer able to give the shop the time and attention needed to push its growth further.

Barber & Boar is established and trading, with clear potential for further development. A great deal of time, effort and care has gone into building the business, and the owner is keen for it to go to the right person who will value the team, clientele and reputation and continue moving the shop forward.

A reasonable handover and transition period can also be provided.
