About this business
Started in 2022, this Cardiff coffee business has grown into a small chain serving coffee, pastries, toasties and salads in the city's suburbs. Its main premises are freehold and come with the sale, and the business employs 35 people. Turnover has risen every year, from £1.04m to £1.2m, and EBITDA from £153k to £179k, a margin of about 15%. Net assets of £512k against an asking price of £550k mean much of the price is covered by what the business owns. A buyer gets a young chain with a property base and steady growth.
