Equine vet and farrier service in rural Swansea

About this business

A small equine business in the countryside around Swansea, providing routine veterinary visits, vaccinations, dental care and shoeing for horses in private ownership and on local yards. Founded in 2020, it rents rural premises and has 5 staff. Turnover has stayed close to £390k each year, while EBITDA has risen slowly from £22k to £29k. The margin of about 7% is thin, so a buyer would look at visit pricing and drug margins. The business would suit a vet or farrier wanting their own practice.

Key investment highlights

  • Steady turnover of about £390k
  • EBITDA up every year since 2021
  • Vet and farrier work combined
  • Asking price of £110k

Reason for sale

The partners are going separate ways and are selling the practice as a whole.
