Business description

We have been engaged by sell the entire shareholding of a multi-site, specialist further and higher education establishment that is the leading educator in its field.

Primarily based in London, the business generated a turnover of £9.9m in the 12 months to 30 June 2024 (£4.257m in 2023) and made an Operating profit of £1.485m (£492,000 in 2023) and a Profit Before Tax of £1.125m (£440,000 in 2023). Turnover and profitability for the current financial year are expected to exceed 2024 figures. (Please note that all accounts figures are unverified.)

The parent company is currently in administration and the share sale will be undertaken by the joint administrators, but the education business is flourishing, with its own management team and is not in any insolvency process.

If you are interested to know more about the above opportunity, please note that offers must be received by no later than 12:00pm on Friday 14 February 2025 with a sale concluded by no later than close of business on Friday 21 February 2025 and, therefore, only parties that are able to work within this time frame should respond. However, Williams & Partners Ltd reserves the right to close the bidding early or extend the deadline, without liability or notice. 

Due to Regulations surrounding change of ownership provision, preference will be given to organisations currently operating within the educational space, as approval by the Office For Students is likely to be a pre-requisite before the share sale can complete.

Due to the confidential nature of this sale, interested parties will be invited to sign a non-disclosure agreement before further details can be released and will be asked to provide proof of funds with any offer submitted, although Williams & Partners Ltd reserve the right to request proof of funding at any time during the sales process and may discontinue negotiations with any party that does not provide satisfactory evidence when requested.

If you are interested in finding out more about the above opportunity, please contact us at your very earliest opportunity.

NB: Applications received within 48 hours of the deadline may be too late to receive an NDA and Information Pack.

Prospective purchasers

Reason for sale
