About this business
This Nottingham business repairs light cosmetic damage on cars and vans: bumpers, alloy wheels, interior trim and small dents. It opened in 2020 and owns its unit on an industrial estate, so the building would pass to the buyer. The work is handled by 8 staff. Turnover has eased each year from £644k in 2021 to £540k, and EBITDA has followed it down from £93k to £71k. A buyer should look at where the lost work went and whether trade accounts can be rebuilt. The owned premises and equipment give a solid base for that.
Key investment highlights
- Freehold unit included in the sale
- EBITDA of £71k on £540k turnover
- Team of 8 covering wheels, trim and paint
- Fixed assets of £132k
Reason for sale
The owners want to concentrate on a separate property business they run.
