Purchasing a business to provide an income when you return to the UK is not just a business decision – there are a number of personal aspects that need consideration as well. You will need to consider a business that fits your own skills, lifestyle and aspirations. For example, what sort of business are you interested in; which business sector do you want to focus on; do you have location preferences, or accommodation requirements. And what sort of commitment do you want - a 24/7 hands-on involvement or something more flexible?
We can help you with this process by introducing you to experts who deal with all of these issues on a daily basis.
Example
The following example demonstrates how this type of investment works and what sort of returns are possible.
An established fish and chip shop in South Wales with living accommodation is purchased at £300,000. The business was showing sales of £148,044 per annum with net profits of £55,332.
A deposit of £75,000 plus costs was invested and a mortgage of £225,000 over 20 years with repayments of £1,737 per month (£20,844 per annum).
This business is providing a good income with living accommodation and the property value should also increase in future years.
