    Seasonality matters outside Plymouth and Bristol. A profitable August does not always carry January. Ask for monthly management accounts, not just a single annual total.

    Freehold pubs and guesthouses appear more often here than in some English regions. If you want leasehold only, filter by tenure before you start comparing asking prices.

    Location undisclosed

    POALeasehold
    Turnover: £280,000£5,385 per week
    Profit: £54,00019% profit margin

    Highly Reputable Hair & Beauty Salon in Gloucestershire An exceptional opportunity to acquire a highly successful, well-established hair and beauty salon positioned in a prime high-street location within an affluent area of Gloucestershire. The business benefits from a long and proven trading history, originally established in 2003 and further developed by the current owner from 2015. It transitioned to a limited company structure in 2023 and has since continued to demonstrate strong and consistent performance. The salon is run day-to-day by a highly experienced team of senior therapists, several of whom have been with the business for over 10 years, providing excellent continuity, stability, and operational reliability. This makes the business not owner-reliant, an attractive feature for both investors and hands-on operators. The current owner operates a separate, independent business, meaning the salon’s turnover and profitability are not dependent on the owner’s personal treatment hours. The business is therefore fully transferable and can continue to trade at the same level under new ownership without impact on income. Offering an extensive portfolio of over 40 premium beauty treatments, the salon operates seven days a week, including evenings. It has built an exceptional reputation locally, attracting a loyal and diverse client base, with many clients travelling significant distances specifically for its services. At peak performance, the business has achieved annual turnover exceeding £300,000, supported by consistent profitability. Recent investment of over £30,000 has been made into relocating to and refurbishing a substantially larger 240m² premises, creating a modern, professional environment with significant capacity for growth. There is huge scope for further development, including:       •     Expansion of treatment offerings       •     Introduction of additional services or clinics       •     Increased staffing and utilisation of space       •     Extended opening hours or specialist services       •     Further brand, retail, or training opportunities The business is offered for sale solely due to personal family commitments. This represents a rare opportunity to acquire a profitable, well-established salon with strong systems, a loyal team, and outstanding growth potential, ready for a smooth transition to new ownership.
