A long-established haulage contractor with strong recent profits and a modern, high-value fleet, offered as a retirement sale. The business has delivered adjusted net profits averaging over £145,000 per year for the last three years from circa £1.28m turnover, supported by a regular client base and an O Licence for up to 20 vehicles.
The sale includes rolling stock valued in excess of £500,000 — 10 vehicles, 13 trailers and four Moffet truck-mounted forklifts — plus an enclosed leasehold yard and modest office accommodation fronting a main road. The yard has capacity for 20+ vehicles and container storage; current rent is £2,500 per calendar month.
Key commercial strengths are the consistent profitability, modern fleet and ready-to-trade position. Important transactional considerations: the premises are leasehold and are currently being held over on expired lease terms, which creates a lease-renewal and security-of-occupation risk that a purchaser must resolve. The price reflects a trading business and assets — buyers should allow for professional fees, transfer of staff obligations and any working-capital adjustments.
This opportunity suits an industry buyer or investor seeking immediate cashflow from an operational contractor with tangible vehicle assets and an established client list. Due diligence should focus on the lease status, O Licence transfer, vehicle valuations, and staff liabilities before exchange.
