About this business
A small doggy daycare run from a unit it owns within a Belfast shopping centre, caring for dogs while their owners work or shop. Five staff look after the dogs, and the business opened in 2022.
Sales have risen each year, from £158k to £180k, but adjusted EBITDA has slipped from £16k to £14k and net profit is £12k, so margins are thin. The asking price is £40k with the freehold unit included, which suits an owner-operator prepared to work in the business and tighten costs.
Key investment highlights
- Freehold unit included in the sale
- Turnover up every year since 2022
- Team of five
- Asking price of £40k
Reason for sale
The owner is moving to England and needs to sell before the move.
