About this business
This Bristol centre prepares pupils for GCSE and A-level exams through small evening classes, Saturday sessions and intensive revision courses at Easter. It owns its premises in the suburbs and has a team of five. Since 2021 turnover has drifted down from £258k to £210k, but adjusted EBITDA has stayed close to £34k because costs were reduced alongside. A buyer would take on a modest business with the building included and a clear chance to win back pupils through local marketing and school links.
Key investment highlights
- Freehold premises in suburban Bristol
- Adjusted EBITDA steady at around £34k
- Evening, weekend and Easter courses
- Asking price £145k
Reason for sale
The owner is retiring and wants to sell to someone who will keep the courses running.
