About this business
A full accident repair centre handling insurance-led and private bodywork, from panel replacement and jig work to paint and refinishing. It has traded since 2010 from leased premises on a Leicester retail park, which gives it visibility to passing drivers, and employs 14. Turnover has edged down from £1.32m to £1.25m, yet EBITDA has climbed every year from £147k to £192k, which suggests tighter control of costs. Fixed assets of £350k cover the booth, jigs and repair equipment. The buyer takes on the lease, the team and the existing flow of work.
Key investment highlights
- EBITDA up from £147k to £192k since 2021
- Visible retail park location
- Team of 14 across body and paint
- Fixed assets of £350k
Reason for sale
The owner is selling to concentrate on a vehicle hire business in the same city.
