Business description
Prudently located at the base of a large government building, this highly profitable 5-day-a-week cafe earns the current owner more than $240,000 annually. Here’s why you should be asking for more info:
1. Profit:
The owner’s profit exceeded $246,000 for 2011, and the first quarter figures for 2012 show a further 19% increase in Gross Profit which bodes very well for the future profitability of this business.
2. Location:
The current vendor doesn’t worry about marketing because he was savvy in choosing the location. Nestled in a government building, public servants are basically a captive client base. Plus it’s an area of continuing development with 3 major construction works scheduled nearby.
3. Lease:
A long secure lease is in place until June 2017. Rent 161 square meters for only $5756 (excl. GST) per month. The low overhead costs for a fit-out this size provide plenty of breathing space and magnifies profits.
4. Simple to run:
The café doesn’t open weekends, nights, or public holidays, and takes two weeks off over Christmas. There’s no table service, so only three staff members is sufficient to keep the coffee coming.
5. Potential:
With six public service buildings nearby, the catering side of the business represents a considerable untapped resource. Some catering is currently provided, so the basic system is in place and ready to expand.
