Businesses for Sale

Business for sale

We have an exciting opportunity becoming available as we are currently looking at options for selling our hydrotherapy business. We are a busy pool based hydrotherapy centre with plenty of room for expansion. We cover Oxfordshire, Berkshire and some of Buckinghamshire. The only reason we are sadly looking to sell is due to relocation however we are in no rush to sell and want to find the right person. This is also the reason we are staying anonymous as we have not spoken about this to our clients so not to cause any unnecessary uncertainty.  Anyone seriously interested please contact us as business.enquiries2026@aol.com
