About this business
A Doncaster groundworks firm providing site clearance, drainage, kerbing, driveways and small foundations for builders, farms and homeowners across South Yorkshire. It owns a freehold yard and employs 6 people. Sales have crept up to £940k, yet EBITDA has dropped year on year from £57k to £41k as costs have risen. Net assets of £381k are well above the £210k asking price, mainly because of the yard and plant, so a buyer acquires solid assets at a modest price.
Key investment highlights
- Net assets of £381k against £210k asking
- Freehold yard in Doncaster
- Drainage, kerbing and driveways
- Team of 6
Reason for sale
The owner is retiring and selling the business with its yard and plant.
