About this business
Dakar Furniture Works designs and builds custom furniture for hotels, restaurants and retail fit-outs across Senegal and the wider region. Founded in 2012 by Amara Diallo, the workshop has grown from a two-person operation to a 14-person team supplying over 30 hospitality and retail clients.
Amara is selling to retire after 13 years running the business, and wants a buyer who will keep the current team on and continue serving existing clients. The sale includes the workshop lease, all equipment, the client book, the brand, and a 3-month handover period with Amara.

How the asking price was set: £95,000 reflects roughly 2.1× FY2025 net profit of £45,000, in line with recent small-manufacturing sale comparables in the region. This is Amara's asking price, not a Root ASAP valuation — buyers are encouraged to commission their own valuation as part of due diligence.

Buyer due diligence required
This is a private business acquisition. Figures shown are as reported by the business owner and have not been independently audited by Root ASAP. Root ASAP vets and lists the business but is not party to the transaction, does not conduct legal or financial due diligence on your behalf, and does not provide M&A, legal, or tax advice. Buyers should engage independent legal and accounting advisers and complete their own due diligence before making an offer or completing a purchase.

After 13 wonderful years, I've decided it's time to retire and hand Dakar Furniture Works to its next owner. Proud of what our team built — looking for someone who'll keep it going.
