UK - Gourmet/Medicinal Mushroom Cultivation Business for Sale/Seeking Partnership/Investment

Good afternoon Permies Community,

My name is Paul, and I'm the director at Maya Mushrooms - a mushroom cultivation business based in the UK.

We are considering a new direction with our business and exploring the options of partnering up with other related businesses/individuals, selling shares in our business, taking on investment, or even making an outright sale to hand on the reins to someone else, and I figured there could be a few of you out there of which this might be of interest? I hope it doesn't go against your forum rules, if it does Mods, please feel free to delete or move the post.

Unfortunately, immediately after taking on two new warehouse units, our core investor pulled out, and we now have a significant amount of dedicated space that remains underutilised. The spaces are ready for full operation and can be scaled accordingly.

Maya Mushrooms operates from two adjoining, fully equipped warehouse units in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, totalling approximately 8,500 sq. ft. of purpose-built space.

For the right individual(s) or organisation, this would be a fantastic opportunity to expand operations with ease and further tap into the gourmet/medicinal mushroom market (possibly even branching out to other markets).

While we’re not committed to a specific direction yet, we’re open to discussing a range of possibilities, including:

Business Sale or Exchange: An outright sale of the business or exchange of assets

Collaboration with Similar Businesses/Individuals: Joining forces in some way.

Investment Opportunities: Bringing on an active partner or investor in exchange for equity.

Non-Profit Conversion: Securing funding to transition the business into a non-profit organisation.

Collaborative Models: Exploring shared workspace arrangements or other innovative ways to maximise the use of our facilities.

Non-traditional: We're open to discussing all ideas.

To better understand what we’ve built to date, I’ve attached a few photographs of our facilities. If you’d like to see more, message me and I'll send you some more shots.

If this opportunity interests you, I’d be happy to share a simple Business Opportunities document we've put together, which includes detailed insights into our operations, facilities, and market potential.

Additionally, I’d be glad to schedule a call with anyone to discuss things further at a time convenient to you, just let me know what day/time and the best number to call (available evenings & weekends).

It's worth mentioning that we are looking to define our pathway forward as soon as possible due to our current position, and we are reaching out to the marketplace to open up discussions, so if this is something you'd like to discuss more, please do reach out.

If this isn't something of interest to you, but you know someone who might be interested, I would deeply appreciate it if you could let them know.

All the best and I hope to hear from a few of you soon,
Paul

Hi Paul

I’m currently starting a functional mushroom brand and thought I’d reach out with an open mind - your post looks really interesting! I don’t know many people in the industry and so I’m wanting to meet people like yourself. I’m based on the south coast near brighton.

Best wishes
Will
