About this business
A stockist supplying bearings, cables, hydraulic fittings and hardware to defence vehicle and aerospace repair workshops, holding stock so customers can order small quantities quickly. Nine people work from an owned industrial unit in Coventry that transfers to the buyer. The business dates from 2017.
Turnover has fallen each year, from £1.2m in 2021 to £1.05m, but adjusted EBITDA has risen from £74k to £91k, so the work that remains is more profitable. Net profit is £78k against an asking price of £275k.
Key investment highlights
- Freehold unit included
- Adjusted EBITDA up from £74k to £91k
- Small-quantity orders from stock
- Team of nine
Reason for sale
The owners want to retire and have no successor in the business.
