Distributor of Van and 4x4 Accessories and Styling
Ref: BMG00258
An opportunity to acquire an established distributor of van and 4x4 accessories and styling products, serving customers across the United Kingdom. The business has grown organically for over ten years and has built a well-respected reputation in the UK automotive aftermarket sector. Sales are predominantly direct to the customer, with a smaller proportion of B2B trade. The business is run under management by a loyal and experienced team, and a full and mutually agreeable handover period will be provided, with management intending to stay with the business. Long-term supplier relationships are in place. Seller-supplied figures indicate turnover of circa £1.3m and adjusted EBITDA of circa £200k, both stated as FY20-21 forecasts. These figures have not been independently verified and are presented solely for initial buyer assessment. The seller believes the business is highly scalable and that its next phase of growth will be best realised under a new entrepreneurial owner or a larger business with the experience and resources to drive it forward. Consideration will also be given to buyers with strong market or client synergies seeking a bolt-on acquisition. Offers are invited for 100% of the business shares on a cash free, debt free basis.
