About this business
Trading since 2005, this London business designs, builds and tests satellite subsystems and communications components for spacecraft manufacturers and research programmes. It employs 46 engineers and technicians in a leased facility on an industrial estate. Turnover has fallen every year, from £7.53m in 2021 to £6.5m, and EBITDA from £1.37m to £1.08m, though the margin is still about 17%. A buyer would want to understand the project pipeline. The engineering team and test facility would take years to build from scratch.
