About this business
A small driving school in Edinburgh teaching learners in manual and automatic cars, with a leased office in a suburb used for bookings and theory sessions. It began in 2022 and has four instructors and staff. Annual turnover sits near £150k and adjusted EBITDA is £17k, so margins are thin once instructor pay and cars are covered. A buyer, perhaps a qualified instructor, could take it on for £115k and grow the pupil list.
Key investment highlights
- Steady turnover around £150k
- Manual and automatic lessons
- Team of four
- Asking price £115k
Reason for sale
The owner is moving to Aberdeen for a partner's new job.
