About this business
A Leicester firm that clears, surveys and repairs drains and sewers, and maintains pumping stations and interceptors for commercial customers, facilities managers and housing providers. It leases a depot on an industrial estate and has 9 staff. Turnover has risen every year, from £1.05m in 2021 to £1.25m, but EBITDA has fallen from £121k to £105k, so the margin is now thin. A buyer with an eye on pricing and vehicle costs could improve returns, and would take on the jetting vehicles, CCTV survey gear and the team.
Key investment highlights
- Turnover up every year to £1.25m
- Team of 9 drainage engineers
- Asking price of £315k
- Survey and jetting equipment
Reason for sale
