About this business
A sizeable English language school in suburban Plymouth, trading since 2020 from leased premises. It teaches international students of all ages, with year-round adult courses, junior summer groups and arranged homestay accommodation. The school employs 53 people, including teachers, activity leaders and an accommodation team. Turnover has fallen gradually from £3.3m in 2021 to £2.95m, and EBITDA from £401k to £358k, so a buyer will want a plan to rebuild student numbers. The business could be moved to new premises, and the asking price is £1.95m.
Key investment highlights
- Team of 53 teachers and support staff
- Year-round adult and junior courses
