Founded nearly 20 years ago, the business provides consultancy services, predominantly in the area of organisational development.
While servicing clients across a number of different sectors including the healthcare, utilities and engineering sectors, it has secured a leading position in a particular niche which offers further significant opportunity for growth. Furthermore, the social purpose nature of that sector aligns with the business’s own values, whose commitment to social purpose is evidenced for example by donating a percentage of its profits in 2022 to charity.
Major content areas are leadership and management development, 1 to 1 coaching, and customer service training, with the leadership and development programmes accounting for a majority of the revenue stream.
As the business has grown, it has increased its pool of Associates, who now deliver all of the content. The vendor has taken a significant step back and currently only works around 8 hours per week with a focus on maintaining the status quo rather than growth.
Current year revenue is forecast at c £150k per year, delivering profits before owner drawings of c £55k. A new owner delivering some of the content themselves would drive earnings beyond £100k. The guide price for 100% shares of the company is £150K to include a debt free cash free balance sheet with a net asset value expected to be c £10k. The vendor is flexible over handover arrangements and will support all reasonable requests.
