The Batemans ‘Profit Partnership’ Difference
Existing Batemans licensees and free trade customers, as well as publicans from outside the region who are looking for a new business, can all benefit from becoming a Profit Partner at an available Batemans pub.
Our Profit Partner tenancy agreement means that Batemans will not subject your pub to rent reviews or remove access to our Free Trade cash and carry pricing , no matter how successful the pub.
