About this business
Bonded warehouse on a Bristol industrial estate, storing goods under customs control so importers can defer duty and VAT until the goods are released. It has traded from leased premises since 2019 and employs 18. Turnover has eased from £1.72m in 2021 to £1.5m, and EBITDA is down 23% to £219k, a margin of about 15%. A bonded operation needs approvals from HMRC, so a buyer should confirm early that they carry over with a share sale. Net assets are £656k.
Key investment highlights
- Customs-controlled storage for importers
- EBITDA of £219k
- Leased warehouse on an industrial estate
- Team of 18
