Founders invite offers for Slange Var soda drink – Daily Business

Slange Var, the Scottish drinks brand, has been put up for sale by founder Sarah and Charles Dougan who set up the brahnd nearly ten years ago.

The Glasgow-based company is also considering limited brand licensing opportunities, including regional licensing for international markets or product-specific collaborations. 

Slange Var – the phonetic rendering of the Scottish Gaelic for “cheers to your health”. – was recently listed in the Metis IP100, an international index that ranks IP-rich companies, based on the quality and commercial potential of their intellectual property portfolios. 

The company has not put a value on the proposed sale, which includes trademarks, recipes, domain names, and associated digital assets of the non-alcoholic drink. 

Ms Dougan said: “We have worked with care and conviction to build a brand that reflects Scottish heritage, quality, and a strong commitment to sustainability.” 

She added: “In addition to exploring a full acquisition, we are also open to discussions with partners interested in licensing the brand, including regional licensing for international markets or product-specific collaborations. 

“Licensing offers an alternative route for partners to build on Slange Var’s brand equity, sustainability credentials, and global trademark coverage while tailoring execution to local markets or distribution channels.”
