Business Description
Veritas Business Sales is delighted to offer for sale this established coffee shop, situated within Coventry’s central shopping district. Established by our clients in December 2021, the business is now offered for sale as they seek to reduce their operational commitments and focus on their other sites.
Our clients have invested significantly in the premises, fixtures, fittings and commercial equipment, creating an attractive and well-equipped coffee shop. We are advised that the equipment included within the proposed sale is owned outright.
The business is overseen by the owners, supported by three full-time and five part-time members of staff. For the year ended 31 March 2025, reported turnover was £315,318, exclusive of VAT, with a gross profit of £242,487, representing a gross profit margin of approximately 77%.
The menu includes specialty coffees, hot chocolate, teas, milkshakes, soft drinks, chocolates, cakes, pastries, breakfast rolls, paninis, toasties, croissants and desserts.
The premises offer approximately 43 internal seats, complemented by external seating for approximately 40 customers.
The business benefits from an established customer base, with potential for an incoming owner to explore longer opening hours and further menu development.

The proposed transaction is a sale of the shares in the company holding the lease of the Coventry premises. The precise transaction terms and any landlord or third-party consent requirements are subject to legal due diligence.
