Online pharmacy with steady repeat orders, based in Birmingham

About this business

An online pharmacy based in Birmingham that has traded since 1998. Its strength is repeat custom: people who order the same medicines, skincare and health products month after month, plus a private prescription service. Turnover has stayed close to £1.65m across the last six years while EBITDA has edged up from £289k to £330k, a margin of about 20%. A small team of 5 handles dispensing, packing and customer emails. There is no shop or lease in the sale, and a buyer could run the operation from wherever suits them.

Key investment highlights

  • Trading since 1998
  • EBITDA margin of about 20%

  • Could be relocated anywhere in the UK

Reason for sale
