Strategic land promotion business with offices in Plymouth

About this business

A land promotion business that works with landowners to bring farmland and edge-of-town sites forward for future housing, managing the surveys, consultations and planning work in return for a share of the eventual sale. It employs 10 people and owns its office in a Plymouth suburb, which is included. It started in 2019. Income has fallen from £2.52m in 2021 to £2.2m, and adjusted EBITDA from £186k to £172k. Net profit is £145k. Income in this field is uneven, and a buyer should review the current site pipeline closely; the asking price is £625k.
