Hotels
Why buy
a hotel?
Hotels are the workhorses of the tourism industry. A tolerance of long hours, working weekends and out-of-season personal holidays; a strong work ethic; and an eagerness to please are essential to the makeup of a successful hotelier. Meet these demanding criteria and you can enjoy a business where every day is different and the rewards lie in making people happy.
Campgrounds
Why buy
a campground?
Campgrounds are an ideal lifestyle business – if you want a lifestyle involving the great outdoors, early mornings and a workload that ebbs and flows with the seasons. The National Caravan Council says most campgrounds “are SMEs or micro-enterprises, usually independently owned and managed as a family concern.” The industry contributes more than £6 billion to the UK economy annually.
B&Bs
Why buy
a B&B?
The best bed and breakfasts are run by sociable owners with a ‘nothing is a problem’ attitude. B&Bs are hard work, but incredibly rewarding. Now accounting for a fifth of the UK’s total serviced accommodation sector, B&Bs can offer a cosiness and warm, personalised service that hotels simply cannot match.
Cafes
Why buy
a cafe?
A café is best owned by a perfectionist. Distilling the ingredients, staff and ambience into a mix that is ‘just so’ is the defining goal of independent café culture. Most café owners should expect to be up before the commuters, ready to serve through the rush, though many cafes are closed before the end of a commuters working day.
Bars
Why buy
a bar?
Owning a bar is the dream of many, though an owner does more sit behind a desk or dispensing drinks from behind a pump. You’ll have to change barrels, coordinate door, bar and cleaning staff and deal with inebriated customers – all over the evenings and weekends. For many people, these challenges are all part of the fun – along with the environment characterised by fun.
Websites
Why buy
a website?
An online business is a great way to have a store that operates 24 hours a day, with you choosing your own hours. Many can be operated by a single person, and with some distributors offering drop shipping, you’re able to focus on the running and marketing of the website, rather than managing stock levels.
Liquor Stores and Off Licences
Why buy
a liquor stores and off licence?
Growing demand for craft beers and a widening array of other alcoholic beverages has made stocking decisions a more interesting challenge for an off license. Specialisation and knowledgeable customer service can give a competitive advantage in this era of bewildering choice. Hours are shorter for off license owners than for some retailers – but working evenings is, obviously, a must.
Petrol Stations
Why buy
a petrol station?
Petrol stations can be highly profitable in the right hands. If you can master the basics of retail, then this is a recession-proof business with consistent passing trade. Petrol is not an optional good for motorists, after all, and have you ever known the traffic on our roads to do anything but grow?
Laundries
Why buy
a laundry?
If you are looking for a business that will give you a constant cash flow, a laundry is a good option. Business in this sector will usually require less of a capital investment and you can run them relatively passively. Carefully consider the business’s location when you are looking for one to buy.
