About this business
A small Glasgow steel fabricator making beams, columns, lintels, staircases and balustrades for builders, joiners and homeowners carrying out extensions and conversions. The freehold unit it works from is included, and the business runs with a team of 5. Sales have grown in each year, from £294k in 2021 to £440k, but EBITDA has only moved from £31k to £38k, so margins are thin. Better pricing is the obvious first job for a new owner. Set up in 2018, it is offered at £190k.
Key investment highlights
- Freehold unit included
- Sales up every year to £440k
- Team of 5 fabricators
- Asking price of £190k
