Buying a Business in Cambridgeshire
A buyer considering companies for sale in Cambridgeshire will find plenty of choice within a commercially active and well populated county. Cambridgeshire is a landlocked Eastern county, bounded by Suffolk and Norfolk to the East, Hertfordshire and Essex to the South, Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire to the West and Lincolnshire to the North. The county is dominated by the city of Cambridge, of course, but this does not fully represent the diversity within the county and the sheer range of companies for sale in Cambridgeshire.

The M11 links Cambridge to London, via the M25, resulting in strong links to the capital, and nearby London Stansted serves international visitors to Cambridge as well as those heading in to London. Its proximity to London, combined with its international academic reputation, and steady stream of tourists and students, means the city of Cambridge has a very cosmopolitan flavour. It also creates a lively business environment which has become home to many entrepreneurial companies, particularly hi-tech start-ups. It’s no surprise to find Cambridge home to several recruitment agencies supplying the specialist skills needed by these companies. There are also many businesses providing support to these companies, such as commercial cleaning, property management and other services.

But Cambridgeshire’s origins are as a predominantly rural and agricultural economy – and farming related businesses are still very important to Cambridgeshire as a whole. Haulage and distribution companies are therefore vital to the local economy, moving produce in and out of the county. There is a great deal of through traffic both North/South via the M11, and East/West, from the port of Felixstowe to the Midlands. Further to the west of the county is the A1 (M) which links to the M11 via the A14. The city of Peterborough and the major town of Huntingdon both lie close to this arterial route. Both are centres of a great deal of commercial activity, benefiting from easy access to London by train and road, as well as being on important East/West routes giving good access to the Midlands. This all makes Cambridgeshire an excellent base for logistics companies of all kinds.

There are also many packaging companies in Cambridgeshire, catering for agricultural produce, general consumer goods and more specialist packaging for high-tech and pharmaceutical products. Their proximity to major routes means that supplies and unpackaged goods can be easily delivered, and that finished goods can be easily distributed direct from the packaging plant to the rest of the UK or across to Felixstowe for export.

The generally high level of commercial activity brings with it a great deal of property requiring management and maintenance. So you will find plenty of property management companies, commercial cleaning companies and other service related businesses within the county.

Cambridge has a higher than average proportion of its workforce in professional and managerial occupations, and many of these professionals live in and around the city in some of the quieter Cambridgeshire towns and villages such as Great Shelford, Cambourne and Hirston, or further afield in Huntingdon, Ely and Chatteris. This workforce tends to be relatively well paid and consequently able to afford a variety of services, such as private healthcare. There are therefore a great number of residential care homes and domiciliary care agencies in the county.

So whether you are interested in logistics, healthcare, packaging, recruitment, property management, commercial cleaning or other service businesses for sale in Cambridgeshire, you are likely to find plenty of choice.
