Mail-in console and tablet repair service run from Glasgow

About this business

A mail-in repair service for games consoles, tablets and handheld devices. Customers book online and post their devices in, and the team of three repairs and returns them, working from home workshops around Glasgow rather than a shop. It has traded since 2004. Turnover has been steady at close to £200k, and adjusted EBITDA has crept up annually to £51k from £43k. Net profit is £42k. It is a small business with a simple model that a buyer could run from anywhere with space for a workbench.

  • Adjusted EBITDA up every year since 2021
