About this business
Trading since 2013, this Bristol franchise dealership sells new and approved used cars, with an aftersales workshop for servicing and repairs. It operates from leased premises on an industrial estate with 27 staff. Turnover has grown every year, from £11.96m in 2021 to £14.3m, but EBITDA has eased from £1.95m to £1.71m, so the margin has narrowed to about 12%. Net assets are £6.07m. A buyer would look at the balance between new car volume and aftersales profit, and the manufacturer will need to approve any new owner.
Key investment highlights
- Turnover up every year to £14.3m
- Net assets of £6.07m
- Sales and aftersales workshop
- Team of 27
