Tree surgery business on the outskirts of York

About this business

A tree surgery business on the outskirts of York carrying out felling, crown reductions, stump grinding and hedge work for homeowners, estates, schools and local councils. It has traded since 2005 and has a team of 7, including climbers and groundworkers, working from leased premises with secure storage for the chippers and climbing kit. Sales have risen every year from £389k to £540k and EBITDA has grown to £95k. A buyer gets a busy, growing practice with skilled staff, which in this trade is often the hardest thing to find.

Key investment highlights

  • Sales up every year to £540k
  • Team of 7 climbers and groundworkers
  • Trading since 2005
  • Domestic, estate and school work

Reason for sale

The founder wants to stop climbing and has decided on a full sale rather than a slow wind-down.
