Just gettin into this side of business to supplement my window cleaning business and a friend of mine says her hubby wants to sell a commercial cleaning contract which brings in £700 per month at a local factory. He is ringing me to discuss tommorow. I have no idea really what to ask or what is a reasonable price to agree if I am going to buy it.
I guess I need to know if the job is staffed, and what they are paid. I think he is selling cos he cant staff the job. I would guess that I should visit the site with him and speak to the owners about a change of contractor?
Window rounds normally sell for 3x monthly value. Is this the same ball game?
Any advice out there from anyone would be much appreciated.
Cheers John.

Cheers Jason. Appreciate that. Found out more info about this job . Its for factory floor, offices and toilets, which are "well mank". Allows 16 man hours per week, Its not staffed so will probably do it myself at first, as no idea how to take on staff yet. Thanks mate happy new year.
