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.

Iconic bar in Regensburg seeks successor to take over the business

I am looking for a new owner for my pub/bar in Regensburg. The pub opened in 2003, and I took it over in February 2008. After 18 years, however, it’s time for me to move on to something new, so I’m looking for a successor who will take over the bar for a transfer fee. The bar is located in the heart of Regensburg’s Old Town; the cathedral and the Steinerne Brücke are each just 5–8 minutes away, and the Fischmarkt bus stop is right around the corner. The bar is just as popular with tourists as it is with its large number of regulars. Currently, this unique 12th-century vaulted cellar can seat approximately 65 people. The commercial space measures 100 m², which includes the main room, bar area, cocktail nook, kitchen, small alcove, men’s and women’s restrooms, dry storage, cold storage, and a small storage room. The existing license is for a bar serving light meals; however, it does not permit the preparation of foods that produce grease fumes (such as frying or deep-frying). An outdoor seating area in the alley can also be applied for under this license. The bar is leased from a private owner and is being offered for lease only. The transfer fee will be negotiated with me, the current tenant; I am happy to hand over the entire inventory, including the business name and all rights. Additionally, various social media accounts can be transferred. The business concept can, of course, be modified and expanded as desired; I look forward to finding a motivated successor.

Hesse

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.
