FOR SALE – ESTABLISHED, FULLY OPERATIONAL BAKERY BUSINESS IN STAVELY, LA8, THE LAKE DISTRICT
Due to private and health-related reasons, I have made the difficult decision to sell the business I have built and managed. My priority is to pass it on to someone who will continue its development and ensure its stable future.
I am offering for sale a well-established and fully operational bakery business based in Stavely, Cumbria. The company has been successfully operating in the local market for 10+ years, with proven production processes, a stable customer base, and long-term commercial relationships.
The company is an artisan commercial bakery, supplying various hotels, restaurants, cafes and commercial sites, as well as having a presence at local farmers’ markets. There is no shop front for direct sales to the public.
This is a complete business transfer opportunity for an investor, bakery operator, hospitality group or entrepreneur seeking an immediate entry into the South Lakes bakery sector without the risks and delays associated with starting from scratch.
Scope of the sale (full turnkey transfer):
- Fully equipped leased production facility – all bakery machinery, ovens, equipment and infrastructure included
- Complete operational know-how and proprietary recipes for bakery products
- Full onboarding and practical training for the buyer and their staff (transition period available)
- Established customer database transferred as part of the transaction
- Active supplier agreements and ongoing commercial contracts (subject to standard assignment provisions)
- Organisational structure, procedures and operational documentation
- Brand continuity and operational handover support (terms to be agreed)
Business overview:
