About this business
A precision engineering firm turning and milling small parts, jigs and fixtures for defence and aerospace suppliers in Yorkshire. Eight people work from a freehold building in a Leeds suburb, which is included, though the machines could be moved to another site. It started in 2022.
Sales have gone up annually, from £874k to £1.05m, but adjusted EBITDA has slipped from £106k to £92k, so the margin is now under 9%. Net profit is £76k. A buyer should review pricing on the newer work; the asking price is £275k.
Key investment highlights
- Freehold building included
- Turnover up 20% since 2022
- Team of eight
- Machines could move to another site
Reason for sale
