Small network installation business with freehold in Cambridge

About this business

A small firm that installs and looks after office networks, structured cabling, wireless and firewalls for local businesses around Cambridge. A team of 4 handles survey, installation and support. It owns its suburban premises, which come with the sale, and has traded since 2011. Turnover has grown each year from £355k in 2021 to £440k, but EBITDA has slipped from £137k to £122k, so costs have grown faster than prices. Even so, the margin is close to 28%. The work could be run from elsewhere, so a buyer could keep the freehold or move the business nearer an existing operation.

Key investment highlights

  • Freehold premises included
  • Margin close to 28%
  • Trading since 2011
  • Could relocate if a buyer prefers

Reason for sale

The owner is retiring after running the business since 2011.
