About this business
A small training company running short courses for local employers in management skills, customer service, and workplace health and safety, delivered in its leased training room and on client premises. A team of 4 handles bookings, delivery and follow-up. It has traded since 2008 and grown gently, from £218k turnover in 2021 to £250k, with EBITDA up from £21k to £32k. Margins are slim at about 13% but have improved every year. Courses can be run anywhere, so a buyer could move the business or add it to an existing training operation.
