Established Speed Dating & Singles Events Business

An excellent opportunity to acquire an established speed dating and singles events business operating primarily across London, with additional events in selected UK cities.

Established in 2019, the business has developed a recognised presence within the dating and social events sector, offering professionally organised, face-to-face experiences for singles seeking genuine connections.

The business currently organises approximately 12–15 events per month, including traditional speed dating evenings and larger themed singles parties.

Speed dating events can attract approximately 30 participants, with larger singles parties accommodating approximately 40–60 attendees, depending on the event format and location.

A key attraction is the business's streamlined operating model. Events are delivered by experienced paid hosts, with the current owner spending just 15–20 hours per month overseeing the business. This provides an opportunity for a purchaser seeking an established business with relatively limited day-to-day management requirements.

The business operates through an established network of third-party venues and paid event hosts. Customer bookings are generated through the company's website, organic search, paid digital advertising and established third-party ticketing platforms.

The owner is primarily responsible for general oversight, event scheduling and marketing coordination rather than personally delivering events. The business does not require a dedicated events premises, with events hosted at third-party locations.

A new owner could explore several opportunities to develop the business further, including increasing the number of events in existing locations, expanding into additional UK cities, introducing new themed and specialist singles events, developing partnerships with hospitality and leisure venues, building on the existing SEO strategy and digital advertising activity, and increasing repeat bookings through targeted email marketing.

The existing operating model provides a platform for further development without the need to establish a new brand or customer base from scratch.

Annual turnover of approximately £86,000.

£69,950.

The current owner is considering relocating overseas and is seeking a suitable purchaser to take the business forward.

The vendor is willing to provide a period of complimentary handover support to assist with the transition, with the scope and duration to be agreed prior to completion.
