This successful fishing bait business specialises in delivering high-quality live bait to fishing enthusiasts across the UK. Operating from a rented space on a well-established maggot farm, it benefits from a no-stock-holding model, quick delivery times, and competitive pricing.
With a rapidly growing customer base and a fantastic reputation for consistent quality and reliable service, the business has built strong loyalty among private anglers.
The business’s online presence is a key asset, with a fully functional website and a Mailchimp account boasting over 4,000 subscribers. A website developer is available if needed. It also has a strong social media following, including a Facebook page with 25,000 followers generating ad revenue, a merchandise-focused Facebook page with 1,500 followers, an Instagram account with 600 followers, and a TikTok account with 1,600 followers. Additionally, the brand offers a merchandise line, supported by reliable suppliers for packaging, boxes, and clothing.
An agreement with the maggot farm ensures a reliable bait supply, while minimal overheads make this a highly profitable and efficient operation.
Fully relocatable, it offers the new owner flexibility and the opportunity to run a manageable business with significant growth potential.
The current owner is looking to sell due to a career change and the desire to see the business taken to the next level by someone with fresh energy and vision.
This venture is perfectly positioned for expansion, whether through increased marketing efforts, new product offerings, or a broader customer reach. It presents an excellent opportunity for anyone seeking a flexible and profitable business in the fishing industry.
This live bait supplier delivers premium fishing products directly to customers nationwide. The business operates efficiently without holding stock, sourcing all products directly from the maggot farm where it currently rents space.
Customers include loyal repeat buyers and new clients from the website, Google presence, and social media. The business has strong engagement on social media, with the Catchy Bait Facebook page (www.facebook.com/catchy.bait) and Catchy Merch Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/share/14puUw6f7f/?mibextid=LQQJ4d).
Renowned for its quality, affordability, and fast delivery, the business has experienced steady organic growth since its inception.
While the maggot farm will continue to serve as a reliable supplier for bait, no units or space are available for rent on-site, meaning the business will need to be relocated.
With no physical assets or complex operations, this venture offers simplicity and flexibility for a new owner.
The business has significant growth potential through increased marketing efforts, including paid social media campaigns, SEO optimisation, and targeted Google Ads. Forming partnerships with fishing clubs, forums, and tackle shops could further enhance visibility and drive growth within a highly engaged audience.
Exploring opportunities with fisheries and tackle shops could also add substantial value.
Currently, deliveries are made once a week, but increasing the frequency could lead to a rapid boost in sales. The relocatable model offers flexibility, allowing for easy scaling without additional overhead costs.
With a strong foundation, a loyal customer base, and ample opportunities for digital engagement and strategic partnerships, the business is well-positioned for sustained success and significant growth.
