It depends why you are buying! Post Offices come in different shapes and sizes and can therefore fit different types of lifestyle. Fundamentally you need to decide if you wish to work in the business yourself and how much net profit you need.
You need to understand the trading performance of the business, as well as the details of the key costs. We can provide you with a checklist of what information you should ask for.
Lenders do like the Post office network. The type of purchase, freehold or leasehold, will affect the type of business loan you may be able to get. Speak to us about finance options.
Once you have agreed your deal you should confirm the details in a Heads of Terms document for both parties. You can initiate the application process, but you should be clear how you wish to fund it as you will need to show your ability to pay for the business during the application process. Speak to us about finance options.
On average, it normally takes about 2 months from when you receive your application link to when you get appointed but this can be dependent on any legal work that may need to be completed. If you are buying an existing Post Office, it can then take between 4-8 weeks until your transfer day.
We have run Post Offices ourselves and come from a retailing background. You can join us on our sector information session to find out more!
