You can usually find commercial properties to buy/rent in the usual newspaper that advertisers houses. I know ours does. There is a seperate section for commercial.
Hi,

I have recently written an ebook with Don Clarke who ran a successful coffee shop for 15 years, with a half million pound turnover.

In his book Don advises that you really need to look for premises with seating for 60 in order to make it worthwhile financially. There is a website that lists catering busiensss, including coffee shops, which are up for sale:

He also advises that money spent on an interior designer or a shopfitting company who may also provide a designer is worth its weight in gold, as a good interior design will attract customers. There is a website for the national association of shopfitters at:

Hope the above helps.

Regards


Tracey
