About this business
A manufacturers' agency in Cambridge that sells engineering and electrical products on behalf of overseas makers to UK wholesalers and contractors. Since 2022 it has worked from a freehold office and small store, which come with the sale. Sales have declined from £3.33m to £2.95m and EBITDA from £409k to £313k, so a buyer will want to rebuild the product range. A team of 21, mostly sales and technical staff, is in place. The asking price is £1.7m, and the property gives some backing to the value.
Key investment highlights
- Freehold office and store
- Team of 21
- EBITDA of £313k
- Engineering and electrical products
Reason for sale
