School and special needs transport operator in Cardiff

About this business

A small Cardiff operator that carries children to and from school, including pupils with additional needs, and provides accessible transport for day centres and community groups. The vehicles are kept at a freehold yard that comes with the sale, and the 6 employees are drivers and passenger assistants. Turnover has grown every year since 2021, from £190k to £300k, but EBITDA has only risen from £22k to £27k, so margins are tight. The asking price of £95k sits below net assets of £132k, and the freehold is included.
