Business Description
For Sale: Charleston Chef Service — Profitable Private Chef & Catering Brand with Built-In Clientele and Local Partnerships

Step into one of Charleston’s most trusted and recognizable private chef brands —

**Charleston Chef Service** — a fully operational, highly profitable culinary business with a loyal following and strong brand equity across the Lowcountry.

Whether you're a chef ready to take the next step, or an entrepreneur looking for a turnkey operation in the hospitality space, this is a rare opportunity to own a cash-flowing business with massive growth potential and a solid reputation.

Business Highlights:

Proven Profitability: The business generates $50K–$60K year in positive cash flow, with VERY low overhead and healthy margins.

Strong Revenue Growth: We’re on track to hit $150K+ in gross revenue this year, with consistent private chef clients, high-end events, and catered functions.

Established Local Partnerships: We have strong, ongoing relationships with property management companies and concierge services, who refer their clients to us regularly. These partnerships help keep our calendar full year-round — from Kiawah Island vacationers to downtown Charleston homeowners. (We also have stellar reviews on google and other platforms!)

Brand with Identity: Charleston Chef Service comes with a professionally built website, a well-followed social media presence, branded marketing materials, and a unique culinary style known as **“Farmentation”** — a farm-to-table meets fermentation approach that has captured media attention and local interest.(But is also very flexible with other styles as well. This style of service IS NOT a deal breaker)

Existing Book of Business: You'll walk into a calendar of events, regular clients, vendor contacts, and a framework for success that’s ready to run.

Seamless Transition Support: I’m fully committed to the future success of the business. I’m happy to stay on to train, consult, and assist during the transition period to ensure you feel confident and connected from day one.

Why This Business?

Charleston Chef Service is not just a job — it’s a brand with staying power in one of the South’s most exciting culinary markets. With a flexible business model (private chef services, special events, long-term in-home clients, and small corporate catering), you can grow it in the direction that fits your lifestyle and vision.

If you’re looking for a profitable, respected, and well-connected culinary business with a solid foundation and plenty of room to scale — this is your opportunity.
