Small strategic land consultancy on a Bradford business estate

About this business

A strategic land consultancy that assesses sites for housing and employment use across West Yorkshire, prepares the technical studies and represents landowners in local plan reviews, earning fees and success payments. Its four people share a rented office unit on a Bradford industrial estate. It was formed in 2023. Turnover has been steady at about £1.1m, while adjusted EBITDA has grown from £107k to £125k. Net profit is £107k. The asking price of £330k is modest, though a buyer should look closely at when the success payments fall due.

Key investment highlights

  • Fees plus success payments
  • Adjusted EBITDA up from £107k to £125k
  • Team of four
  • Asking price of £330k
