About this business
This Plymouth taxi and private hire business covers local journeys, station and ferry runs, and school and hospital trips, with bookings taken by phone and online. It works from a leased office and yard on an industrial estate with 5 staff. Since 2022 turnover has climbed each year from £203k to £290k, while EBITDA has barely moved, from £23k to £26k, so the growth has come at a thin margin. A buyer could improve returns by adding account work and reviewing driver rates.

- Turnover up each year to £290k
- Team of 5 drivers and controllers
- Leased office and yard
- Asking price of £130k
