About this business
A food processor preparing sauces, marinades and ready-to-cook products for caterers, butchers and independent retailers, working from its own freehold unit on a Manchester industrial estate. It started in 2018 and employs 7. Turnover has grown each year from £1.06m to £1.3m, but EBITDA has fallen from £170k to £143k, so the margin has dropped to about 11%. This points to costs rising faster than prices. A buyer could review pricing with customers and gets an owned site to work from.
Key investment highlights
