More Demand Than Bread: Modernized Traditional Bakery with Iconic Sourdough Bread Seeks Successor

Imagine a bakery where there’s no shortage of customers—just not enough hands to serve them all. This artisan bakery and pastry shop in Northern Hesse has been baking according to traditional recipes for over 100 years. Its sourdough bread is so sought-after that customers travel there specifically for it. Advertising? Not needed. Demand already exceeds supply, and new customers come in solely through word of mouth. Why this acquisition is special: • No backlog of investments: The bakery was modernized in 2016 for over 212,000 €, and the retail space was completely renovated in 2017 for around 100,000 €. You can get started without any initial investments. • Growth is on the horizon: The equipment is designed to handle €1.1–1.2 million in revenue; one oven is practically brand-new—and requests from additional business customers have recently had to be turned down solely due to a lack of staff. • Three strong pillars: The main business with its own bakery, a shop-in-shop location, and a high-margin B2B business with four regular customers. In addition, a regional delivery and catering partner distributes the products to households, hotels, clinics, and daycare centers. • Solid figures: 2025 revenue of approximately 887,000 € following a deliberate, age-related downsizing (previous years: 1.1–1.2 million €). Owner’s profit in 2025: approximately €187,000. • Well-coordinated team: 14 employees, including a trained pastry chef, all of whom are to be retained. • Planning certainty: 15-year lease with an option to extend for the business premises and 6–12 months of training by the owners—including the handover of all recipes, including the sourdough bread recipe. The owners are selling due to retirement; there is no family successor. We are looking for a master baker—or an entrepreneurial individual with a team of skilled staff—who will carry on this baking tradition and maximize the business’s existing potential. The handover is scheduled to take place starting in the second quarter of 2027. A business that no longer needs to attract new customers. It just needs someone to continue baking bread for them.

Online retail for brand-name clearance items via Amazon, eBay, and our own online store

I am offering a turnkey online business specializing in clearance items, which I have been running for over 3 years. Thanks to a deliberately broad product range, this business model effectively balances out seasonal fluctuations. Overview: • Amazon and eBay accounts that are over 3 years old with good ratings. • Own online store with high-quality content (project URL: https://sonderposten-deals.de). • Sales of brand-name products (including household goods, toys, and cosmetics). • Enormous growth potential with the implementation of active marketing and product line expansion. Figures: • Revenue in 2024: approx. 114,000 € (Profit: 17,000 €) • Revenue in 2025 (as of today): approx. 27,000 € (Profit: 5,000 €) • Marketing: Currently €0 in advertising spend The current decline in revenue in 2025 is solely due to a lack of time. Since the business generates purely organic traffic, even a small advertising budget—combined with a time investment—offers massive leverage potential for scaling. Inventory & Terms: • Inventory: approx. 2,300 items. • Purchase value of inventory: approx. 12,000 euros (purchase invoices can be provided). • Sales value of inventory on Amazon and eBay: approx. 55,000 euros (at the best price, well below MSRP). • Total price: 1,000 euros + inventory. Interested? If you’re seriously interested, I’d be happy to send you further details and figures.

The unisex designer razor “Made in Germany” with a blade subscription service

Company Profile: The company, based in northern Germany, was founded in 2017. The founder, a manager with many years of experience in creative and online agencies, developed a unique unisex designer razor “Made in Germany.” The product has been available since 2021. At the core of the business model is the combination of a one-time product purchase (razor handle) and a blade subscription for consumables—a model known in the international shaving market (including Gillette, Harry’s, Dollar Shave Club) is known for generating recurring revenue and high scalability. The key building blocks for this are already in place: a proprietary brand, in-house tooling for handle production, an exclusive supply agreement with the established blade manufacturer Wilkinson, and an operational online store with a subscription feature and approximately 350 active existing customers. What remains is the step toward scaling up—through a marketing budget and/or an existing sales structure. Starting point: To date, sales have been conducted exclusively through the company’s own online store and eBay—without performance or influencer marketing, without an Amazon presence, without B2B sales, and without the retail packaging required for platform sales, as the founder lacked the funds for marketing and packaging development. Consequently, the revenue generated so far has been minimal. This is precisely where the opportunity lies: The actual entrepreneurial risk—product development, brand building, and securing the relationship with the manufacturer—has already been borne. Anyone who brings capital for marketing and/or an existing distribution structure takes over a market-ready product with a secured supply chain and can immediately begin scaling up. USPs: • First “Made in Germany” unisex designer razor—1 razor model, 1 blade for everyone • Exclusive, non-replicable supply agreement with Wilkinson • High-quality blade up to 70% cheaper than market-leading brands • Customizable, interchangeable handles in multiple colors • Established blade subscription service with recurring revenue requiring no additional effort • Exclusive, minimalist design—genuinely unisex appeal for both women and men • B2B-ready: branded handles as promotional items; available for use in the hospitality industry and on cruise ships Revenue model: The razor itself generates a one-time sales revenue—the real revenue potential comes afterward: Through the blade subscription, every customer forms a long-term bond with the brand, and every subsequent order generates revenue without additional sales effort. Already today, around 350 existing customers pay recurring fees for replacement blades—and this customer base grows automatically with every new razor buyer. Market potential: Even with a market share of just 0.5%, the revenue potential in Germany alone exceeds €6 million per year. The market for razor blade subscriptions is already competitive—the differentiation lies in the combination of a unique, customizable unisex design concept “Made in Germany” and the exclusive Wilkinson supply agreement, which no other provider offers in this form. Growth drivers for the buyer: B2C • Expansion of performance and influencer marketing as well as promotional campaigns • Development of retail packaging for Amazon and other marketplaces • International expansion into additional DACH and EU markets B2B – completely untapped to date • Hospitality industry (room/guest amenities) • Cruise and travel industry • Promotional items & corporate gifts with branded handles • Co-branding partnerships with other brands Why now is the right time to get started: • Clearly differentiated positioning despite existing competition, thanks to a unique unisex design concept and customizable handles • Ready-to-use online store, including a subscription feature, available immediately • Shaving is a basic necessity—“must-have” rather than “nice-to-have” • Recurring revenue through the blade subscription with no additional effort • Highly scalable business model with market potential > €6 million in Germany alone Purchase price: The founder currently holds 100% of the shares. 100% of the shares are for sale at a price of €80,000. Already included are: • inventory valued at approximately €26,000 • the existing online store, including the subscription feature • the tooling for producing the handles • the exclusive supply contract with Wilkinson • the brand, including design and trademark rights Inventory, production tooling, and the exclusive manufacturing contract thus already cover a significant portion of the purchase price—the brand, customer base, and full growth potential are effectively included. The founder will be available to the buyer in an advisory capacity during the transition period.

Buying a company vs. buying a firm

Buying a company means acquiring an independent organizational unit that regularly carries out an economic activity. A company can consist of one or several business operations. An individual can also found such an independent unit if they regularly carry out an economic activity — in that case it is called a sole proprietorship. As a rule, sole proprietors don't have to register in the commercial register; without that registration, they don't legally count as a "firm." A trade name, colloquially a "firm," is the name under which a company or sole proprietor appears publicly and conducts its business. Buying "a firm" therefore technically means acquiring the company's name or trading name. In everyday use, though, it's used interchangeably with buying a company — i.e. acquiring the entire business.
