About this business
A guesthouse offering bed and breakfast to tourists and visiting workers, on a retail park site at the edge of Edinburgh with easy road access. The property is freehold and the business has traded since 2019 with 5 staff. Turnover has grown every year, from £223k to £290k, but EBITDA has only moved from £18k to £21k, so margins are thin at about 7%. Net assets of £104k compare with an asking price of £70k. An owner living on site and doing more of the work could improve profit.

- Turnover up 30% since 2021
