Zest Optical are partnered with an ambitious new optical brand preparing to launch its second location in Sutton, London in Q4 2026. This is a genuinely rare opportunity for an Optometrist who wants more than simply employment. The business has been created around a fresh vision for modern community optics, combining accessibility, warmth and customer connection with ambitious long-term growth plans. The aim is to build a nationally recognised brand that feels different to the traditional optical experience, creating environments where patients feel supported, understood and genuinely looked after.
Crucially, the business is backed by a team of experienced Founders with a successful track record of scaling industry-based and franchise-led operations, bringing both commercial expertise and long-term support to future business partners.
The Opportunity: Partnership opportunities within optics can often feel inaccessible or financially overwhelming. This opportunity has been intentionally designed differently. The business is open to a variety of partnership structures depending on the individual, including:
- Traditional capital investment
- Performance-based share accrual
- Salary sacrifice in exchange for equity
- Flexible phased ownership model
