About this business
Since 2006 this Plymouth company has designed, installed and maintained combined CCTV, intruder alarm and access systems for schools, shops, offices and industrial sites across Devon and Cornwall. It rents a unit on an industrial estate and employs ten people, mostly engineers. Turnover has grown every year to £1.05m, while adjusted EBITDA has risen more slowly to £108k, so margins have narrowed. A buyer gets a busy installation team, maintenance work that recurs each year and room to tighten pricing.
Key investment highlights
- Turnover up from £758k to £1.05m
- Team of ten, mostly engineers
- CCTV, alarm and access systems
- Leased industrial estate unit
Reason for sale
The founder is retiring and the engineers would like a buyer who keeps the team together.
