About this business
A small public affairs consultancy based in Aberdeen and run entirely online, helping energy, property and community organisations engage with councillors, MSPs and officials. The team of 3 provides political monitoring, consultation responses and stakeholder briefings, working remotely with no office to take on. Turnover has risen every year from £244k to £290k and EBITDA from £24k to £36k. Nothing ties the work to Aberdeen, so it would suit a buyer adding it to a wider agency or an experienced practitioner wanting an existing client list.
Key investment highlights
