Escort Coaches, based in Middlesbrough, has been in the same hands since its establishment in 1967.
The business owner, Terry Wilson, is now stepping down after 57 years as he looks towards retirement.
The sale, listed at £40,000 by Parker Barras, includes the physical coach, phone number, and an introduction to the current owner's contacts.

A buyer would need to possess their own coach licence, as it is not transferable from one person to another.
The business' main work includes school trips, senior citizens outings, and train replacements.
The current owner is willing to stay for a short period to ensure a smooth transition.
Parker Barras highlighted the potential to increase sales, as no advertising is currently done.
The business reportedly shows healthy profits, and accounts are available upon request, with a signed NDA.
