Young same-day courier on an industrial estate in Sheffield

About this business

A same-day courier set up in 2024, moving parcels, documents and small loads for Sheffield trades, printers and online sellers. Four people run it from a rented industrial unit, and the work could be moved to another base. Turnover has risen from £216k to £260k since it started, while adjusted EBITDA has stayed at about £34k, so the margin has slipped slightly. Net profit is £30k. The asking price of £115k suits a buyer looking for a small courier to grow.

Key investment highlights

  • Turnover up 20% since 2024
  • Leased unit that could be moved
  • Team of four
  • Work for trades, printers and online sellers
