Profitable street food restaurant seeks owner for its flagship location in Hamburg

Welcome to one of the first Colombian dining concepts in Germany! Are you ready for the next step in your career and interested in running an established, successful dining concept? This concept offers you a unique opportunity to become a co-owner and be part of our success story, while also reaping the rewards of our years of hard work as a successor! WHY Colombian street food? South American cuisine is growing in popularity and fills a previously untapped niche in the restaurant industry. The concept isn’t just a restaurant—we offer a unique culinary experience unlike anything else currently available in Germany. With our Colombian street food, freshly prepared and as authentic as it is in South America, we’re right on trend. This is exactly where we come in—and you can be part of this exciting journey! In this case, it would work almost like a franchise—only better—and with one very decisive advantage: You’ll take over the flagship location, which has been successfully established for five years, has a loyal customer base, and has been professionally positioned by our branding agency. For you, this means: You can hit the ground running right away without having to overcome the typical challenges of a startup! A unique advantage over “regular” franchisees. YOUR BENEFITS: - Established brand: The restaurant has built a strong reputation through successful marketing and an average Google rating of 4.7 stars. We have a loyal customer base and are ideally positioned to expand throughout Germany. - The major hurdles associated with starting a restaurant business—such as finding a location, extensive renovations, the very time-consuming process of hiring staff, establishing a system, and setting up the location—are COMPLETELY ELIMINATED. Plus, the investment is even lower. - Get off to a profitable start: You’ll benefit from 90% of the revenue and a fully equipped operation—from furniture and equipment to top-tier suppliers and an optimized system for daily operations. - Marketing support: As a branding and marketing agency, we handle the majority of your marketing for you. This allows you to focus on day-to-day operations while we regularly deliver well-thought-out marketing strategies and branding optimizations. - Proven Concept: You’ll take over an established restaurant business and benefit from our strong brand identity. Our well-thought-out marketing system and our experience pave the way for your success. - Partnership on Equal Footing: You’re a partner, but you’re not alone. We’re always on-site at the start, working hand in hand with you and supporting you in leading your team and efficiently managing the location. Our goal is to make history together—not just to establish a purely business-based partnership. WHY NOW? After five years of successful establishment and an extensive rebranding, the restaurant is ready to expand. But to take this step, we need someone who can take over day-to-day operations, lighten our load, and thus pave the way for further expansion. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR: - An entrepreneurial-minded partner who is passionate about the restaurant industry and brand building. - Someone with leadership skills and empathy for the team, who is capable of leading and developing a motivated and high-performing staff. - A visionary who recognizes the potential of this unique concept and may even be interested in opening a second location at some point. - Someone who isn’t just a managing partner, but a member of the family who will work with us on our growth strategy and help us continue writing our success story. VAMOS! If you see the opportunity to get started with a unique concept, an established team, and marketing support—and to become part of a success story—we look forward to hearing from you! Hopefully, we’ll see you soon for a tropical shake or a Café Colombiano.

A fully operational wellness hotel with an event venue and a commercial kitchen

A young, fully established operating company in the Rhine-Main region is for sale; it operates an exclusive wellness hotel with an event venue as well as a separately leased commercial kitchen. The concept combines private wellness stays, overnight accommodations, and short-term bookings with the rental of event spaces for private parties, corporate events, workshops, and other custom formats. The business model is complemented by bookable add-on services and regular revenue from the leased catering kitchen. The business has been comprehensively developed and equipped over the past 14 months. Significant investments have already been made in furnishings, wellness facilities, technical infrastructure, online presence, brand development, and operational processes. The company can therefore, in principle, be taken over and continued without a lengthy start-up or renovation phase. The company is still in the start-up and establishment phase. For an experienced operator, there are particular opportunities for development in the areas of capacity utilization management, pricing, event sales, corporate client business, partnerships, and standardized additional offerings. The goal is a complete acquisition of the company’s shares through a share deal. Since the existing company will remain the contractual partner, the existing lease and contractual relationships can generally be continued.

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.
