Casual dining restaurant business on leased premises in Belfast

About this business

Casual dining operator in suburban Belfast, trading since 2013 from leasehold premises with a team of 115. Turnover has risen steadily from £3.8m in 2021 to £5.8m, and EBITDA has more than doubled over that time to £679k, a margin of about 12%. Net profit is £591k. The menu and service model are not tied to the building, so a buyer could take the format elsewhere when the lease allows. The asking price of £1.7m sits below net assets of £2.5m, which include fit-out and kitchen equipment.

Key investment highlights

  • EBITDA up 152% since 2021
  • Turnover of £5.8m, up every year
  • Asking price below net assets of £2.5m
  • Team of 115 on leasehold premises
