About this business
A sizeable distributor of care and mobility equipment serving residential care groups, home care providers and private buyers across the North West. It runs from leased warehouse premises on a Manchester industrial estate with 51 staff across buying, customer service, warehousing and its own delivery vans. Turnover has drifted down from £17.5m in 2021 to £16m, yet EBITDA has edged up to £1.24m, so each pound of sales now earns a little more. Net assets of £5.56m are above the £5.05m asking price, which gives a buyer a strong balance sheet alongside a large regional trade.

- Net assets of £5.56m, above the asking price
