Microgreens Business for Sale in the City of London

Description

Epicurean Club has been running since October 2024. CoGoGo is handling the sale.

The business grows microgreens indoors using a vertical setup installed at the owner’s home. It supplies fresh produce to between 10 and 20 repeat customers, including restaurants, cafés and catering companies.

The food-service customers order on different schedules. Restaurants place orders every week or two, while catering clients order when they have events. Growing, harvesting and deliveries can therefore be planned around the work already booked, without the need to keep conventional shop hours.

The full growing setup is included. This covers the racks, specialist lights and other cultivation equipment currently in use, which the seller values at roughly £4,000.

The equipment is only one part of the business. Epicurean Club already sells to a base of regular trade customers. This gives the next owner an operating business to take over rather than a new venture that still needs to find its first buyers.

Producing more would require additional trays and racking, so the available room will set the practical limit. With enough space, there is scope to increase the number of growing cycles and supply more local businesses.

The opportunity may suit someone interested in urban farming or local food production, particularly if they are looking for a small business that can be run from home.

Location

Epicurean Club operates from the owner’s home and serves customers in the surrounding area. Delivering locally allows the microgreens to reach restaurants and caterers shortly after harvesting.

Premises

Microgreens are grown indoors on several tiers of shelving rather than across a large floor area. The current setup includes the lighting, racks and cultivation equipment required for production.

Tenure

Business only.

Hours

There are no fixed opening hours. The owner organises the working week around planting, harvesting, packing and deliveries.

Staff

There are no employees. At present, the owner runs the business alone, from sowing and harvesting through to taking orders and making deliveries.

Financial profile

In a typical month, the business brings in about £1,500 and produces a net profit of around £1,000.

The owner uses accounting software for the day-to-day bookkeeping and also receives support from an accountant.
