About this business
A small analytics consultancy near Preston helping retailers, charities and membership bodies understand customer behaviour through segmentation, forecasting and survey analysis. It owns a freehold office in a suburban setting where its 3 staff are based. Turnover has risen each year, from £199k in 2021 to £290k, and EBITDA from £62k to £84k, so margins are high. A buyer would take on an efficient practice with its own building, and would want the senior analyst to stay through a handover.
Key investment highlights
- EBITDA of £84k on £290k turnover
- Freehold office near Preston
- Turnover up every year since 2021
- Team of 3
Reason for sale
