About this business
A small specialist haulier in Portsmouth that moves oversized loads such as boats, cabins and plant, mostly for local yards, marinas and contractors. It began in 2024 and runs from a freehold yard on an industrial estate, which comes with the sale. Turnover has stayed around £640k a year, and EBITDA has held close to £59k. The team of 5 is mainly drivers. The business could be moved to another yard if a buyer wanted to merge it with an existing operation, and at £180k the asking price is low for the property and trading together.
