About this business
Trading since 2013 from a freehold rural store outside Manchester, this business sells feed, bedding, seed, fertiliser and fencing supplies to farmers, smallholders and horse owners, and gives agronomy advice on grassland. Four people run it. Turnover has stayed close to £480k, but adjusted EBITDA has fallen from £89k to £67k as costs crept up. Net profit was £53k. A buyer gets the property and a steady local trade, with scope to restore margins through better supplier terms.
