Case Study: Treacles Tea Rooms

What the seller wanted

Mrs Edwards put her well-run tearoom onto market at a realistic asking price. Tearooms are one of the most successful types of businesses we sell, and given the prime location of this particular business, a smooth sale was predicted. 
 
 What did Intelligent do? 
 
Despite the business coming into the marketplace in Autumn and a considerably sized asking price in itself, the business received numerous requests to view. However, the first person to view made an offer which was accepted and the business was quickly sold. 
 
 Outcome 
 
Like other similar businesses before it, Treacles Tea Rooms is exactly the type of business that attracts a flurry of interest. With so many more people working from home these days, or taking a more flexible approach to work, there's plenty more 'me' time at people's disposal. Intelligent recognises this shift in culture and values the potential of a superbly-located tearoom from a marketing point of view. The smooth sale that followed meant this profitable business was passed from one business owner to another within a matter of weeks, reinforcing our fundamental message that Intelligent makes buying a business easier than you think.
