About this business
A three-person paid advertising agency running search and social ads for local services such as dentists, gyms, letting agents and schools. It rents a small office in Cambridge city centre and could move without disrupting its work. It was founded in 2021.
Turnover has grown each year, from £158k in its first year to £230k, with adjusted EBITDA rising from £28k to £36k. Margins are modest for an agency of this size, so a buyer running a larger agency could fold it in and keep more of each pound earned.
Key investment highlights
- Turnover up 46% since 2021
- Search and social ads for local service firms
- Rented office in Cambridge city centre
- Asking price of £185k
Reason for sale
