About this business
This Leicester business supplies and installs sub-meters, energy monitoring systems and meter reading services for landlords, schools and commercial buildings. Its premises, a suburban freehold, are included, and 6 people work in the business. Sales have dropped every year since 2021, from £912k to £740k, and EBITDA from £157k to £118k, so a buyer would need to rebuild sales. Margins remain reasonable, and the freehold comes with the business.
Key investment highlights
- Freehold premises included
- Asking price of £355k
- Team of 6
- Meter reading and monitoring services
Reason for sale
