About this business
This business takes in mixed materials such as metals, timber, cardboard and inert waste, sorts and processes them on its own site and sells the output on. It has operated since 2017 from freehold rural land outside Liverpool with a team of 7. Margins are healthy at about 19%, but both turnover and EBITDA have fallen each year since 2021, from £1.15m to £990k and from £250k to £187k. A buyer should look closely at commodity prices and input volumes before pricing a recovery. The freehold land is included.
