Business description
This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire and operate an established business in a very lucrative market. The Chocolate Spring was one of the first chocolate fountain businesses established in the United Kingdom, incorporated as a limited company in September 2004. Since that time, we have expanded from operating a single fountain into now owning three fountains and a purpose-built mobile catering trailer capable of attending outdoor events of any size.

Years established: 4

Employees: 1

Trading hours: Flexible

Home based: This business can be run from home.

Relocatable: This business can be relocated.

Location
Mobile catering unit/home-based business.

Expansion potential
As well as serving traditional indoor events such as weddings, birthdays and corporate celebrations, the professionally-styled mobile catering unit can provide a daily income for the right location and even more opportunity if you can secure attendance at larger outdoor events such as sports and music stadiums as well as fairs and shows. The product being offered for outdoor events is somewhat different to the usual hot dogs and burger vans, so is always of interest to event organisers.

Competition / Market
There are a number of more recently established chocolate fountain businesses, but few if any that offer the level of quality, professionalism and scope for growth as our business.

Support & training
Full training will be provided for operating all equipment.

Reasons for selling
A recent shoulder injury prevents me from lifting and moving the equipment.
