About this business
A grounds maintenance contractor looking after the outside spaces of business parks, housing associations, schools and churches around York. The crew of 4 handles grass cutting, hedge work, litter picking and winter gritting, based at a rented yard and store. Sales have sat at about £260k since the business began in 2024, with EBITDA edging up to £21k. Margins are slim, so a buyer would look to add higher-value work such as planting schemes, or run it alongside an existing grounds business.
Key investment highlights
