Buying a Business for Sale Cornwall
Cornwall is the most westerly English county and most of its border is coastline. Although Cornwall is largely rural, it is a very large county and so has several significant inland towns such as Wadebridge, St Austell and Redruth, as well as the city of Truro.

As well as agriculture, Cornwall’s major industries are fishing and tourism with plentiful seaside resorts and ports including Bude, St Ives, Padstow, Newquay, Falmouth and Penzance.

Most people will think of Cornwall primarily as a holiday destination and so it might not appear to be a prime location for business acquisitions at first sight. But several factors mean that there are opportunities for a wide range of companies to prosper in Cornwall, including many of the sectors in which Axis specialise. For instance:

Healthcare companies for sale Cornwall – Cornwall’s mild climate and scenery make it a much sought after retirement destination, especially the seaside locations. This means a high demand for residential and nursing homes for the elderly, as well as a growing need for domiciliary care.

Logistics companies for sale Cornwall – A large county which is relatively sparsely populated requires regular imports to keep the population supplied with food, petrol and other supplies. There is also an ongoing need to take agricultural and fishing produce out of the county for export. There are therefore a good number of distribution companies based throughout Cornwall.

Recruitment companies for sale Cornwall – Cornwall’s distance from London and other major industrial sectors, combined with a general perception of high unemployment, may initially indicate a small market for recruitment companies. But in fact Cornwall’s unemployment rate is lower than the national average. In addition, the distance from London means than local people need help finding job placements outside the county. It also means than local companies often require help finding the right employees for their business. Consequently you will find many recruitment companies – often independently run – based in Cornwall.

Property Management companies for sale Cornwall – Cornwall’s property management requirements are somewhat different to those in the rest of the UK. While Cornwall does not have the large numbers of apartment blocks and office buildings seen in London and other major cities, for instance, there are some. Most of Cornwall’s bigger towns will have offices to rent, and these will require overseeing by somebody. And there are a significant number of apartment complexes for retired people, all of which require buildings management. In addition, Cornwall has large stocks of holiday accommodation, from second homes to year round holiday lets. Many accommodation owners choose to outsource the management of these properties, resulting in a significant number of property management businesses throughout the county.
