    Good Fermentation is an award-winning artisan fermented food and drinks brand specialising in premium kimchi, sauerkraut and kombucha. The business has developed a distinctive range of products, recipes, branding and packaging, with products recognised through national food awards and competitions. The brand has established both retail and wholesale sales, supplying independent food retailers and farm shops as well as selling directly to consumers through markets, events and online. It has also participated in major food events, providing strong exposure and valuable customer feedback. The sale offers a buyer the opportunity to acquire an established, ready-developed brand rather than starting from scratch. It includes the brand and intellectual property, established recipes and production know-how, website/domain and digital assets, supplier information, customer and stockist relationships, production equipment and remaining packaging/materials, subject to final agreement. There is significant potential to grow the business through additional wholesale accounts, online sales, subscriptions, foodservice and wider retail distribution. The current owners have deliberately kept production relatively small-scale, leaving considerable scope for a new owner with the time and resources to expand. The owners are selling due to changes in their professional commitments rather than a lack of belief in the brand, and are happy to provide an agreed handover and training period to support a smooth transition. What's included Sale includes the Good Fermentation brand and intellectual property, established recipes and product range, customer and wholesale relationships, website/domain and social media assets, plus production and market equipment including fermentation vessels, refrigeration, racking, gazebo, market equipment and remaining packaging stock.
