Leicester, Leicestershire, East MidlandsIdentity protected

About this business
A pre-school in suburban Leicester that has run since 2004, offering term-time sessions and early education before children start school. It owns its freehold building, which goes with the sale, and employs 5. Turnover has declined each year, from £207k in 2021 to £170k, and EBITDA from £45k to £35k, though the margin is still about 21%. The asking price of £220k is above turnover because the building is part of the deal. A buyer would want to understand the fall in numbers before committing.
Key investment highlights
- Freehold building included
- Running since 2004
- Margin of about 21%
- Term-time sessions
Reason for sale
