Distillery on a rural freehold on the edge of London

About this business

A spirits distillery on a rural freehold at the edge of Greater London, producing since 2016 with 37 staff. Turnover has been steady between £6.9m and £7.2m for six years and stands at £7.15m, with EBITDA up 12% since 2021 to £844k. The margin of about 12% is modest for a distiller, which points to room in pricing or product mix. The asking price of £2.45m is just below net assets of £2.5m, which include the land, buildings and still house.

Key investment highlights

  • Asking price below net assets of £2.5m
  • Rural freehold with still house
  • EBITDA of £844k
