About this business
Cider maker on a York industrial estate, working from a unit it owns freehold, producing since 2017 with a team of 3. Turnover has been flat at around £500k for six years. EBITDA is £33k, a thin margin of about 7%, though it has improved by 18% since 2021. The asking price of £105k is well below net assets of £196k, which include the unit and the pressing and packaging equipment. A buyer who can lift prices or move more sales direct to customers should see the margin respond quickly.

- Freehold unit on an industrial estate
