Business for Sale – Established Gift, Art, Printing & Framing Business in Rothesay, Isle of Bute

Description

A rare opportunity to acquire a long-established and highly versatile retail and creative workshop business in the heart of Rothesay on the beautiful Isle of Bute.

Trading since 2008, this well-known business combines a busy retail shop with multiple specialist in-house services, giving the new owner several income streams from one premises. The business offers art, prints, jewellery, souvenirs, giftware, textiles and premium homeware, alongside services including large format printing, canvas printing, engraving, sublimation printing, vinyl cutting, laser cutting and picture framing.

This is far more than a simple gift shop. It is an established local business with a loyal customer base, strong visitor appeal and genuine scope for further growth. It would suit a hands-on owner looking for a lifestyle business with solid foundations, or someone wanting to expand the current operation and develop online sales, bespoke work and commercial orders.

The business is currently run on part-time hours and still achieves an annual turnover in the region of £80,000, showing clear potential for a buyer with energy and ambition to take it further.

Included in the sale is a substantial amount of stock, fixtures, fittings and specialist equipment, with current stock estimated at around £40,000 wholesale value. The premises extend to approximately 1,550 sq ft, providing retail space, storage and workshop facilities. Annual rent is low at £5,200, and the property currently benefits from the Small Business Bonus Scheme, meaning no business rates are presently payable.

The owner is selling due to retirement and is prepared to offer a training period to help ensure a smooth handover.

This is an excellent opportunity to take over a characterful, fully set-up business with visible assets, multiple revenue streams and real future potential in a popular island town.
