About this business
A CNC machining shop producing small batches of precision components in aluminium, stainless steel and engineering plastics for aerospace and defence supply chains. Nine people work from a freehold unit on a Preston industrial estate, which is part of the sale along with the machines. The business was formed in 2022.
Sales have been level at around £1.15m, and adjusted EBITDA has risen from £132k to £145k. Net profit is £126k. The asking price of £435k is below net assets of £477k, so much of the value sits in the property and equipment.
Key investment highlights
- Freehold unit and machines included
- Small-batch precision work
- Team of nine
- Asking price below net assets
