Ecology consultancy owning its offices in Swansea

About this business

This Swansea ecology consultancy has carried out wildlife surveys, habitat assessments and mitigation advice for developers, councils and utilities across South Wales since 2013. Its freehold office, in a suburb of the city, comes with the sale, and 5 people work there. Sales have been steady at around £470k a year, while EBITDA has edged up every year from £61k to £73k. A buyer gets the property, the survey equipment and a small team with deep local knowledge. The practice could relocate if needed.
