Established B2B Printing Business – London | Long Standing Japanese Corporate Client Base | Retireme

We're pleased to offer for sale a well-established, profitable printing business based in London. It specialises in business cards and small-format printed materials. Over many years the business has built a loyal client base of well-known Japanese companies operating in the UK, which brings steady repeat orders every month.

The business is fully operational, debt-free and run as a limited company. The owner is retiring and wants a smooth, well-managed handover. This makes it a good opportunity for an owner-operator, an existing print business looking to grow, or a buyer with links to the Japanese business community.
