About this business
A land promotion business in Edinburgh that has worked with landowners since 1995, taking sites through the planning process and selling them on to housebuilders. It operates from a freehold office and store on an industrial estate. Turnover has dipped slightly, from £2.37m in 2021 to £2.25m, but EBITDA has risen every year to £401k. A small team of 5 covers land, planning and finance work. Income depends on when sites sell, so a buyer should expect lumpy years. The property is part of the sale.
Key investment highlights
- Freehold office included
- EBITDA up every year to £401k
- Working with landowners since 1995
- Team of 5
Reason for sale
The owner is retiring after a career spent almost entirely in land promotion.
