Cloud migration and support business in central Aberdeen

About this business

This Aberdeen business moves smaller organisations onto cloud email, file sharing and collaboration tools, then supports them on monthly terms. The 7 staff are based in an owned city-centre office that the buyer also gets. Trading began in 2016. Turnover has eased from £742k in 2021 to £650k, while EBITDA has grown every year, from £157k to £180k, lifting the margin to about 28%. What a new owner inherits is a support book that has become more profitable even as revenue dipped.

Key investment highlights

  • Freehold city-centre office included
  • EBITDA margin of about 28%
  • Monthly support terms
  • Asking price of £1m

Reason for sale

The owner has taken a senior role elsewhere and no longer has time to run the business.
