About this business
A barbershop chain in Hull, trading since 2022 with its main shop on a retail park held on a lease. It employs 22 barbers and front-of-house staff. Turnover has grown each year to £860k, but EBITDA is only £48k, a margin of about 6%, so most of the income goes on wages and rent. The asking price of £180k is well below net assets of £414k, which include fit-out and chairs. A buyer who can improve chair occupancy or pricing has plenty of turnover to work with.
