About this business
Supplies booking and records software to a single specialist sector and has done so since 2011. Turnover has stayed close to £470k for several years, yet EBITDA has risen each year from £107k to £146k as older infrastructure was retired and support work became more efficient. There are no premises: the 4 staff work remotely, so the business could be run from anywhere in the UK. Customers depend on the software every day, which makes for low churn. A buyer would find a stable, profitable product that has never had a serious marketing push.
Key investment highlights
- Trading since 2011
- EBITDA up 36% on flat sales
- Remote team of 4, no premises
- Net profit of £128k
Reason for sale
The owner plans to retire and would like a buyer who will keep supporting long-standing users.
