About this business
Barbershop chain in Cambridge, cutting hair since 1995 and trading from freehold premises in a shopping centre. It employs 14. Turnover has been steady around £550k for six years, while EBITDA has risen 38% since 2021 to £54k, a margin of about 10%. Owning space in a shopping centre is unusual for a barber and gives security that rented units do not. The asking price of £135k is below net assets of £212k. A buyer takes on 31 years of trading and a team already in place.
