About this business
Trading since 2002, this Oxford business coaches pupils for entrance tests, GCSE and A-level exams from leased rooms in the suburbs. A team of seven runs the timetable, teaching and parent contact. The figures have weakened: turnover has fallen each year from £358k to £300k, and adjusted EBITDA from £71k to £52k. Net profit was £42k. The asking price of £300k reflects that. A buyer with tuition experience could reverse the decline by renewing its marketing and adding online lessons.
Key investment highlights
- Trading in Oxford since 2002
- Team of seven
- Adjusted EBITDA of £52k
- Leased rooms in the suburbs
Reason for sale
The founder is retiring after leading the school since it opened.
