Find premises for your café.
Whether you are opening your first café or looking for another location, Rivermark can help you search for premises across the UK.
How we help.
We agree the locations and property requirements with you, search for premises and compare the available details with your brief. We can contact agents or owners about the options you select and keep a record of the questions still to answer.
Who this is for.
- An independent café looking for its first premises.
- A food business looking for another branch.
- An operator comparing high-street or neighbourhood locations.
- A business relocating and looking for space that fits its plans.
What to consider.
Location and frontage
Consider the area, visibility, customer access and trading hours you need. Look at the frontage and the space available for seating, service and storage.
Services and fitting out
Ask about power, water, drainage, ventilation and deliveries, along with any work you expect to carry out. Your fit-out and technical advisers can check what is possible.
Use, costs and timing
Ask your planning and legal advisers about the intended use and proposed lease. Compare rent, other occupation costs, fit-out spending and the time needed before opening.
Tell us the essentials.
Share what you know. We can discuss the rest.
- The type of food business and the locations you are considering.
- The approximate size, seating and layout you need.
- Your rent or purchase budget and opening date, if known.
- Any known requirements for services, deliveries and fitting out.
We agree the work and fees in writing before starting work or contacting anyone about a property.
