About this business
Opened in 2023 on a Leicester industrial estate, this smart repair centre owns its premises outright and employs 12. It repairs paint, wheels and light body damage, much of it for motor trade customers who need cars prepared for sale. Turnover reached £1.03m in its first year and has since eased to £920k, with EBITDA down from £120k to £97k. The freehold and £223k of fixed assets carry much of the value. A buyer would need a plan to win back volume, and has the space and staff to do it.
Key investment highlights
- Freehold industrial unit included
- Team of 12 with paint and wheel skills
- EBITDA of £97k in the latest year
- Net assets of £351k
Reason for sale
The shareholders have agreed to go separate ways and sell rather than buy each other out.
