Business vehicle leasing company with freehold unit in Edinburgh

About this business

A vehicle leasing company in Edinburgh that sources cars and vans on contract hire for local businesses, from sole traders to firms running sizeable fleets. Set up in 2022, it owns its unit on the edge of the city, and the freehold is part of the sale. Turnover has stayed close to £1.7m each year, while EBITDA has grown steadily from £233k to £294k, a margin of about 17%. A team of 7 looks after quotes, deliveries and renewals. A buyer gets a profitable, compact business with its own premises and no rent to pay.
