Hi all,
I'm posting this message on behalf of a friend of mine. A bread run has become available to buy in his area. He has enquired about it and the business will cost about 17k, delivery van included. The current owner has told him that the business makes him about 40k per year, net of tax (this figure obviously doesn't take into account insurance, van tax, diesel etc).
My friend would have the finance to purchase the business, but admits himself that he knows very little about the whole area of bread distribution, and doesn't want to be too hasty in making a decision. Can any of you advise about the benefits/pitfalls involved in taking on a bread run such as this? Alternatively, ideas about how and where he might do homework on the whole thing would also be appreciated.
Thanks,
M
