Smart metering installation business in London

About this business

This London business installs and maintains smart meters, data loggers and monitoring systems for energy suppliers, landlords and commercial property managers. It leases offices and stores in a suburban area and employs 45 people, most of them field engineers. Sales have risen from £5.28m in 2021 to £5.70m, and EBITDA from £486k to £555k, though margins sit below a tenth of sales. A buyer would take on a large field team, scheduling systems and the potential to add higher-margin monitoring work.

Key investment highlights

  • Turnover of £5.70m
  • Team of 45, mostly field engineers
  • EBITDA up from £486k to £555k
  • Asking price of £1.68m
