About this business
A three-person business offering shearing, dipping, foot care and stock handling to sheep and cattle farmers around Glasgow, working from a leased rural yard. It was set up in 2022. Turnover has risen gently to £300k, but adjusted EBITDA has fallen each year, from £41k to £31k, as costs have outpaced price rises. Net profit was £25k. This is a small, hands-on business; a buyer with stock skills could take it on for £120k and rebuild its margin.
