An established hair and beauty business trading since 2014 with c.1,800 client records and consistent takings averaging £3,500 per week. The salon is fully fitted over two levels (circa 950 sq ft) and ready to operate from day one with nine styling stations, three backwash basins, two beauty rooms and a nail room.
The premises benefit from a busy village location near Reading with good footfall, ample nearby parking and fast broadband. Current staff cover core services (two stylists, one beautician plus the working owner) and the vendor offers a handover period to aid transition.
Key commercial considerations: the lease expires November 2027 (around 2 years 3 months remaining) and the business is offered as a leasehold sale at £39,950. Rent is £18,500 p.a.; no VAT and no service charge. Rateable value is £10,000 with Small Business Rate Relief available subject to eligibility.
There is clear growth potential by extending opening hours (currently about 4.5 days), recruiting additional stylists/beauticians and introducing extra services such as extensions. Buyers should note the short lease term remaining and that continued turnover partly reflects the current owner/operator presence.
