About this business
An English language school in suburban Aberdeen, trading since 2019 from leased teaching rooms. It runs general and business English for adults, intensive courses for overseas professionals in the energy sector and junior summer programmes, with host family accommodation arranged by its own team. Turnover has grown from £1.69m in 2021 to £2.7m and EBITDA from £220k to £335k, though the margin is fairly thin at around 12%. The school employs 43 people. It could relocate if a buyer wanted larger premises, and the asking price is £1.6m.
