About this business
A small residential developer in Preston, set up in 2023 and renting a small unit on an estate on the edge of town. It builds new homes on small sites and sells them through local agents, with a team of 4 managing land, design and building contractors. Turnover has stayed close to £2.1m each year, and EBITDA has risen from £539k to £594k, giving a strong margin of about 28%. The asking price is £2.1m, equal to one year's turnover. A buyer would need to keep a supply of sites coming through to hold that level of profit.
