Independent ATOL-licensed travel agency for sale in Bedfordshire, established in 1986

Description

A long-established travel agency in Luton, Bedfordshire, is available for sale. Founded in 1986, the business is fully licensed and independent, holding the Air Travel Organiser’s Licence (ATOL) No. 2413 issued by the Civil Aviation Authority, allowing it to arrange flights, bespoke holidays, and guided tours, with a particular focus on tailor-made itineraries, multi-centre holidays, and safaris. The business operates from ground-floor commercial premises on the main road, including two vehicle parking spaces, and faces no local high street competition. The building is freehold and includes a three-bedroom flat rented out on a shorthold tenancy generating £1,300 per month. If purchased without the freehold, a new lease will be assigned with an annual rent of approximately £25,000, and business rates after small business relief are around £2,000 per year. The sale includes the new lease, business goodwill, brand, website, fixtures, fittings, equipment, and customer database. Offers are sought in the region of £250,000, with an additional £750,000 if acquiring the freehold premises. Viewings are strictly by appointment through Management Inspirations Limited. Direct contact with the vendor or staff is not permitted.
