Summary

The business is an established pole dance studio that offers pole dance classes, parties and private one-to-one and group sessions.

The business is situated in central Swansea a 5 minute walk from both the train and bus stations

making it easy to access for the whole of the Swansea area.

The business is run as a sole trader business with instructors operating on a sub-contractual basis. The business has been running for 11 years, and from the premises for over 7 years, during which time it has built up an excellent reputation both with its clients and within the pole industry, ensuring the business not only has many returning customers but also new customers continually attracted to the unique classes the business provides.

The classes are currently sub-contracted to 3 instructors who are happy to continue teaching for the buyer. The buyer has the opportunity to also teach sessions themselves should they wish to.

Buyers of the business will be able to expand the business and have the potential to generate more income from the private studio running in tandem with classes, to offer classes for under 18s and also the availability to offer private aerial classes since I have now installed aerial equipment on site. There is also the potential to franchise out into the surrounding area should they wish.

I have negotiated and secured transfer of the lease continuing on current terms. I can provide a letter from the landlords confirming their intent to rent to the business for the forseeable future.

The business is being sold due to illness.

The Studio

Circadian Fitness has negotiated an agreement with the building owners that at time of sale the buyers of Circadian Fitness may continue on the rental originally agreed to with a yearly rental price of £5000. This rental price brings the premises under the Small Business Rates Relief so there are currently no rates to pay. It will be the responsibility of the buyers of Circadian Fitness to negotiate their own contract with the owners of the building based on these agreed terms. The owners of the building have put in writing that they are not  planning to sell the building for the foreseeable future and a copy of this can be provided.

The studio is set in a Grade II listed building with many period features. This makes the studio attractive to people wanting to rent hourly for photo shoots, music videos, exhibition space etc. Circadian Fitness is regularly contacted by people wishing to hire the building for events and other uses.
