About this business
A small compliance training business in Cambridge teaching the courses that keep workplaces legal: fire marshal, first aid at work, food safety and COSHH awareness. It owns its premises away from the city centre, and the building goes to the buyer. Its 5 staff runs courses in its own training room and at employers' sites. Since starting in 2022 it has traded at a steady £330k or so a year, with EBITDA creeping up from £34k to £38k. Margins are thin at 11.5%, so the property is a large part of what a buyer gets, along with regular renewal bookings.
Key investment highlights

- Steady turnover of about £330k
- Own training room plus on-site courses
- Asking price of £180k
Reason for sale
