Coffee is the second most wanted commodity in this day and age – and that is behind that wonderful phenomenon: the coffee shop. While they might litter many a high street all over the world, there are still plenty of places left which could benefit from this very important industry. As a result, plenty of budding entrepreneurs, business moguls and coffee lovers have been looking into buying a coffee shop for sale and turning their passion into one of the best business ventures available today. If it doesn’t seem like such a bad idea, you should look at yourself before you do anything else, to try and determine whether or not you would be suitable to run a business. After all, while there are plenty of coffee shops for sale, those business have failed. And they haven’t failed because of coffees waning popularity (because that’s just not the case!) Are you cut out for it? While a café might not be the same as running a bank, it is still a business and you will still need to comply with a host of rules and regulations there will be staff to manage, tax to pay, marketing to be done. If you’ve never worked in a café, a restaurant or a bar in the past, we’d recommend getting a bit of work experience in one of these before you go out and purchase a coffee shop for sale. If you’re not cut out to do the work and handle the business, we’d recommend looking in a different area. Should you go it alone? If you’re looking to go into the industry, you would be wise to consider all of your options. Starting up your own business isn’t the only way to escape the mundane working life of an employee. You could join a partnership, or take the opportunity to join an already successful franchise. By doing so, you’re taking less of a risk with your money, and you won’t need to worry quite as much about getting your business off the ground. Training will be provided, both in the art of making high quality coffee and in how to run a business yourself. As the franchise will not want one of their coffee shops for sale going under, they’re more likely to be fussy about who they let join. That means that if they don’t think you’re made of the right stuff, you’ll politely be declined. While it might sound a bit disappointing, it’s a great way to gauge how other people perceive your business skills! Joseph works at Cafe2u, a mobile coffee franchise company.
