Buy or sell a hospitality business with us

The hospitality industry is huge in the United Kingdom, employing around 3.5 million workers and contributing £93 billion to the economy. Pubs remain a cornerstone of British culture, with a 2023 report claiming that almost 90% of adults visit these spaces. Likewise, the number of people dining out has risen significantly in recent years, recovering well following the pandemic.

The positive outlook of the hospitality sector makes now an opportune time to invest in an existing business, and we can help you find one and secure a favourable deal. Alternatively, sellers can also list their companies with us.

Whether you are buying or selling a hospitality business, our agents are on hand to assist you. Please call 0113 340 9840 or complete our contact form to start the process.

What hospitality businesses can I buy or sell?

Pubs

Short for ‘public houses’, pubs are traditional establishments that serve beer, cider, wine and spirits. They often have a cosy, communal atmosphere, with many offering bar snacks or full menus depending on the scale of operations.

“Navigating the sale or purchase of a hospitality business requires both precision and deep market insight. With decades of experience, our team is committed to guiding clients through every stage of the process.”
