Medical courier with a freehold unit in Sheffield

About this business

A courier specialising in medical deliveries: blood and tissue samples between GP surgeries and laboratories, pharmacy stock and dental lab work. Four people run it from a unit it owns on an industrial estate in Sheffield, which is part of the sale. It began in 2013. Income has climbed steadily, from £176k in 2021 to £230k, but profit has barely moved, with adjusted EBITDA at £22k, so margins are under 10%. A buyer gets the property and the medical work, and would need to look hard at pricing.

Key investment highlights

  • Freehold unit on an industrial estate
  • Turnover up 31% since 2021
  • Samples, pharmacy stock and dental lab work
  • Asking price of £105k

Reason for sale

The owners are both retiring and are selling the unit with the business.
