Frequently asked questions

How do I find a café for sale near me?

Search BizMarketplace by town, city or postcode and set a radius. Results are sorted by distance, so the closest listings to Preston appear first. You can also browse by business type and price.

How much does it cost to contact a seller?

Nothing. Sending a message to a seller on BizMarketplace is free and you don't need an account. Your details are only shared with that seller.

What should I check before buying a business in the UK?

Ask for at least two years of accounts and recent bank statements, read the lease and its assignment terms, check licences (premises licence, food hygiene rating) and find out which staff transfer to you under TUPE. Use a solicitor and an accountant before you pay a deposit.

What does leasehold or freehold mean for a business for sale?

Leasehold means you buy the business and take over the lease of the premises, paying rent to the landlord. Freehold means the property itself is included in the price. Freehold businesses cost more but you are not exposed to rent reviews.
