STEM workshops and holiday camps with freehold base, Bristol

About this business

This Bristol business runs engineering, coding and science workshops for children, both at its own freehold premises in the suburbs and as visiting sessions in local primary schools, plus camps during school holidays. It has traded since 2012 and employs eight people. Turnover has slipped from £363k to £310k over the period, while adjusted EBITDA has held fairly steady at around £59k. A buyer gets the building, the kit and a team who know the local schools, with room to rebuild bookings that have drifted.

  • Team of eight
  • Adjusted EBITDA of £59k

Reason for sale
