THE MARKET

The “on trade” comprises of some 60,000 Inns, Public Houses, Coaching Inns etc

Approx 25% (15,000) of the outlets are privately owned and operated FREEHOLD-FREEHOUSES

A further 22% (13,200) are operated by companies as MANAGED HOUSES. The balance of 53% (31,800) are individually operated LEASEHOLDS with a handful of traditional style tenancies. This means that there are around 46,800 Pubs and Inns within England and Wales run as private businesses by individual operators, and with more managed houses being converted to Leaseholds by the day, the opportunity to become your own boss by running your own licensed business has never been better or more available.

This provides “OPPORTUNITY” for both existing operators, to sell their cherished pub and either “trade up – or down” or enjoy that well earned retirement in the sun (owners, have you considered our SALE & LEASEBACK package which allows you to free up capital to make that purchase of a villa in the sun or retirement home and still retain your business which can be sold as a lease assignment further down the line by way of making a second capital gain). Retiring FREEHOLDERS should consider leasing out their business and receive a regular income by way of rent or alternativly speak to our partners NORWICH UNION to discuss tax efficient methods of selling your business and benefiting from a regular income without the problems and risks of still owning the property. Also for newly inspired businessmen and women to enter the trade providing security for both themselves and their families. Remember that most pubs are family homes as well, indeed, ” a rewarding way of life”.
