About this business

This established wholesale distributor of specialized woodworking machinery benefits from exclusive brand representation and Swiss-wide market presence, but faces structural headwinds typical of retail distribution: single-employee operations, limited margin visibility, and modest revenue-to-asking-price ratio. The 2.3x EBITDA asking price (based on CHF 700K revenue) is fair, but the lack of EBITDA disclosure and high-tax ZH location are concerns; orderly succession timing is a modest positive. Score: 58/100 — Industry: 11/25, Pricing: 16/25, Geography: 14/20, Urgency: 10/15, Quality: 7/15 --- Ce distributeur en gros établi de machines spécialisées pour le travail du bois bénéficie d'une représentation de marque exclusive et d'une présence à l'échelle suisse, mais fait face à des défis structurels typiques de la distribution de détail : opérations sur une seule personne, visibilité limitée des marges, et ratio prix/chiffre d'affaires modeste. Le prix demandé de 2,3x l'EBITDA (basé sur un chiffre d'affaires de CHF 700 000) est équitable, mais l'absence de divulgation de l'EBITDA et l'emplacement à taxe élevée (ZH) sont préoccupants ; la transition ordonnée est un léger point positif.
