About this business
A manufacturer of soaps, bath products, hand creams and fragrance gift sets, making both own-label lines and products for other brands. It has run since 2002 from a freehold factory on a Leicester industrial estate, which comes with the sale, and employs 19. Turnover has grown every year from £2.51m to £3.4m, with EBITDA rising from £247k to £304k. Margins are around 9%, so tighter purchasing could lift profit. A buyer gets owned premises and production capacity with room to grow.
Key investment highlights

- Team of 19

Reason for sale
