Live-in care agency with a freehold city-centre office in Edinburgh

About this business

Placing live-in carers with older people and families across Edinburgh and the surrounding area, this agency has owned its city-centre office since 2013. It has 16 staff. Turnover has dipped slightly from £666k to £630k, yet EBITDA has risen from £131k to £154k, around 24% of turnover, which shows careful pricing and cost control. The office building is included. A buyer could use that margin to fund more carer recruitment and grow volumes again.

Key investment highlights

  • EBITDA margin of about 24%
  • Freehold city-centre office
  • Team of 16
  • Trading since 2013

Reason for sale

The owner is retiring after 13 years and wants the agency to continue.
