Office and retail refurbishment firm in Coventry

About this business

A refurbishment and fit-out firm in Coventry carrying out office upgrades, retail refits and kitchen and bathroom refurbishments for landlords and small businesses. The team of 6 works from a freehold workshop on a trading estate, which a buyer could keep or move away from, since the work happens on customers' premises. Turnover has risen each year to £1.2m, but EBITDA has slipped from £83k to £65k, so margins have tightened. Net assets of £518k are above the £455k asking price, which gives a buyer some cushion while fixing pricing.

Key investment highlights

  • Net assets of £518k
  • Turnover up each year to £1.2m
  • Freehold workshop in Coventry
  • Offices, shops, kitchens and bathrooms

Reason for sale
