Cloud infrastructure and hosting group with Leicester freehold

About this business

Runs hosting, colocation and managed cloud services for business clients from a freehold building in Leicester city centre. With 112 staff and turnover of £11.8m, it is a sizeable operation that has traded since 2016. Sales have grown slowly, from £10.67m in 2021, but EBITDA has fallen each year from £2.52m to £1.91m as power, hardware and staff costs outpaced price rises. The new owner gets a large customer base, owned premises and net assets of £5.3m, with a clear task in repricing and cost control.

Key investment highlights

  • Turnover of £11.8m
  • Freehold city-centre building in Leicester
  • 112 staff in operations and support
  • Net assets of £5.3m

Reason for sale

The founders are stepping back after a decade and want an owner with the capital to modernise.
