With more and more pubs and shops facing closure, several popular retail and leisure opportunities have become available to buy.
From £10,000, we have scoured the depths of Zoopla to find seven businesses across the North East that are available to buy.
From hairdressers to shops and from car detailing places to pubs, we've got an extensive list.
Here's what's available on the market:
The Sportsman Inn, Bishop Auckland
The former pub space, which housed The Sportsman Inn is on the market, with Blacks Brokers bringing to the market this leasehold pub with accommodation located in Bishop Auckland, Durham.
Asking for a price of £19,950, the business could be restored into a pub or other business.
Cafe 81, Stockton-on-Tees
The business opened in February 2019 and is only for sale due to retirement, and the ideal opportunity to operate a well-run café on a main road position with massive potential to grow sales.
It boasts 4.9/5 on Facebook with over 100 reviews, 5/5 on Tripadvisor with over 59 reviews and benefits from a 5-star food hygiene rating.
Currently opening hours of Wednesday – Saturday 9am – 2.30pm and operated by the owner, 1 x full-time staff and 1 x part-time member of staff.
Offering breakfasts, lunches, afternoon teas ad homemade cakes in a highly visible location.
The business is on the market for £19,999.
The Tap & Stone, Stockton
This fully equipped, well-fitted and attractive bar is located within the Regency West Mall complex with a mix of both retail and licensed premises.
According to Zoopla, this is "an outstanding opportunity to own and operate an exceptionally attractive bar which is well known for its ‘Tipsy Tea’ bottomless brunch".
The bar has a fitted pizza oven and serves pizza slices and sides which provides the name ‘The Tap & Stone’ along with a great range of cocktails & draught.
The business is up for sale as the current owner has other investments in the near future that they would like to focus on entirely. All fixtures and fittings are included within the sale, which is available for £22,500.
Post House News, Darlington
Post House News was originally established in 1980, with our client taking ownership in 2005. The business is extremely popular within the local area, building up an excellent reputation and regular customer base.
This opportunity has now come to the market due to the owners desire to retire.
Post House News is more than a traditional newsagent/convenience store as they also specialise in tobacco and paraphernalia products.
