There are a number of advantages to buying one of the Post Offices for sale with Kings Business Transfer. Post Offices are viewed by many as an integral part of a community, and are an opportunity that can offer a significant lifestyle change to buyers. They have also been given a recent boost by a number of Government decisions, such as the proposal to “mutualise” the Post Office and the announcement of a £1bn cash injection into the Royal Mail.
Post Offices are the largest retail network in the UK, and there are currently around 14,000 Post Offices across the British Isles. They are one of the most popular avenues explored by business men and women.
Purchasing one of the Post Offices for sale also opens up opportunity to expand into other areas. For example, you can incorporate a convenience store, newsagents, stationers, gift shop or off licence into the business. Some of the Post Offices for sale on our books even have their own cafés or coffee shops within the premises.
Prospective owners must apply for the post of subpostmaster before they can buy a Post Office. The process involves filling out an online application form and producing a business plan for review. Kings Business Transfer will be able to explain this process in more detail or help with your application should you require any assistance.
