For Sale: Established Corporate Mobile Coffee Business – 17 Years of Premium B2B Service
An exceptional opportunity to acquire a highly reputable, long-established mobile coffee business, uniquely positioned within the corporate events, hospitality, and experiential marketing sectors. Operating successfully for over 17 years, this premium, fully mobile service has become a recognised name in corporate hospitality, known for delivering high-quality, branded coffee experiences at high-profile professional events across London and the UK.
This is not a street trading, consumer, or market-based venture – it is a specialist B2B business model, working exclusively with corporate clients, blue-chip brands, creative agencies, institutions, and public sector organisations. The business operates in the premium tier of the mobile hospitality market and is well-established as a trusted partner for branded activations and professional engagement.
At the core of the business is a professionally converted Piaggio Ape coffee van (4 years old) – compact, visually striking, and built for maximum impact in corporate environments. Fully self-sufficient or mains-compatible, it has been specifically designed to operate seamlessly across a wide range of premium locations, including exhibition halls, corporate headquarters, trade shows, branded activations, university campuses, and flagship outdoor events.
Key Investment Highlights:
• Corporate and private-only, fee-based business model – no public retail, casual trading, or consumer market activity
• Proven 17-year trading history – delivering services to a prestigious client base
Note – there is no client contact list or database. It is a reactive business that companies, agencies, or private clients call or email to book. Often at short notice, sometimes a month or two in advance. Therefore, there are typically between 1–5 jobs booked in at any one time, until the next batch of enquiries comes in.
• Turnkey, relocatable operation – currently run by a sole proprietor, easily scalable or suitable as a strategic bolt-on
• Premium, branded Piaggio Ape coffee unit – purpose-built for corporate activations and high-end hospitality settings
• Strong brand identity – supported by a Google My Business page, sponsored Google ad, professional website, active social media presence, and consistent inbound enquiries
• Low overheads with flexible delivery model – enabling efficient, profitable operation
Previous Corporate Clients Include:
Barclays, Rolls-Royce, O2, NatWest, Tommy Hilfiger, The Times, Department for Education, Octopus Energy and more – demonstrating the business’s trusted reputation across multiple sectors including finance, media, retail, and government.

• UK-wide corporate roadshows and promotional tours
• Corporate staff engagement and internal hospitality

Business Assets Include:

• End-to-end operational framework – refined delivery process covering logistics, setup, and client interaction
• Professional marketing assets – high-quality website, digital presence, and branded materials

The Opportunity:
This is a turnkey B2B opportunity ideal for individuals or organisations operating in the corporate events, hospitality, mobile catering, or experiential marketing sectors.

The business is ready for immediate handover and primed for further growth, with all operational elements in place and a respected brand already embedded within the UK’s corporate events industry.
Enquiries from agencies and high-profile companies are driven by the business's strong online presence, reliability and a sponsored Google advert.
The vendor ensures a high-quality service, with staff hired as needed, making it a low-overhead, flexible operation. All equipment is meticulously maintained to uphold standards.
Included in the package:
• Mobile coffee van (colour kept White so it can be branded as required)
• Built-in two-group espresso machine
• Built-in 50L fresh water tank
• 2 leisure batteries
• Built-in gas supply and electrics (including lights)
• Built-in sink
• Built-in drawers for storage
• Coffee grinder
• Trailer and tow prong for transportation (the van can be driven independently short distances)
• 3m x 3m gazebo with service table, weights, branded banners and festival flag etc

Note that the website currently offers indoor mobile bars in addition to the van. These are not included in this package and will be removed from the website prior to completion of the sale.
A detailed list of all equipment and assets is available upon request.
With consistent demand for mobile coffee services at corporate events, festivals, and private gatherings, the business could also explore partnerships with event planners or catering companies to secure repeat bookings.
With the rise in the interest in iced drinks, there is potential to expand this concept further for summer events. For example, iced coffee, tea, chocolate, matcha and chai are increasingly in demand during the longer summer months.
Additional food options could also be offered, such as more baked goods, biscuits, sandwiches etc.
Geographic expansion into untapped regions or even franchising the concept are viable opportunities, making this a scalable and exciting prospect for a motivated buyer.
