if any1 was interested i would go round and help them first time to introduce them and let the customers know. got uniforms and everything as well

[R W C]

i want todo something else. my mate owns auto cosmetics which sprays cars, fixes dints ect and i got a chance to buy into it and ive helped him out before and realy enjoyed it only started window cleaning because i was given a round when i was leaving school by our cleaner and it went on from there. done well out of it so cant complain but not something i want todo 4eva if you no what i mean

Cant you have staff do it for you, just incase you dont enjoy the new adventure then youve got something to fall back on, theres someone on here who was doing something similar but came to windows from cars as the recession had a real affect on his trade, Tony his name is I think, and plenty of others on here left the trade only to come back when it wasnt brighter on the other side but have found it harder the 2nd time round, just make sure its right matey.

Thanks for advice mate you have a good point. but my mate is busy he struggles to get decent staff and its not a bad earner but thanks

[david thomas]

I would keep the round and employ staff and do your new venture extra income  is far better than a lump sum

[R W C]

There was someone on here that sold rounds in the Brighouse area, thats near you isnt it.

[gisbyr]

Thats near huddersfield i think.

[krave]

If you was near me, I would happily pay £30k. Just over a years work after living on minimum wage.

As said I think you would get the best prices in smaller bundles. Im not saying this through experiance as I have none in selling work, But as a logic point of view.

R W C, Seriously on the case!! Then seeing next to your name that quote and the finger!! 

Good luck with what ever you decide to do with your work mate.

windymiller thats total rubbish, dont buy good will.

most businesses are good will, cafe, dry cleaners, garages, builders , accountant ect ect ect

if you buy any business ou have to be prepeared and make sure you contine to keep your CUSTOMERS  HAPPY.

even if buy a business with contracts if you do not live up to expectations they will have ways of getting out them.

[windymiller]

Ronnie, im not getting into an arguement about this all, im just going off accountants advice ive had in the past off about 4 different accountants and they all seam to agree and told me not to buy good will.
Ronnie are all your domains pointing to the same website? or are they all different websites? if they are different websites do you not get penalised by google for website duplication?

Thanks you have all been alot of help hearing different opinions. Just hoping there is someone like you who will pay that. Thanks peeps.

if you're going into another job, 2 options I would think about . .

renting the round out for £xxx.xx per month. No employing etc, just let them get on with it and you get a regular amount each month. Plus you still own it.

or

Sell it on a deposit/ monthly payment scheme.

I've done both in the past, although it was with people I knew who respected me and treated my round like their own.

Both ways offer extra opportunities as people who haven't got 30/40k in the bank might be interested.

Damn, if I didn't need an income I'd think of selling mine for that amount !! lol

[ronnie paton]

all are going to one ste apart from ronberclear which is the old company name that iv left has it still brings work in.

windy im noy arguing but stating a fact i mean accountant no what about buying this type of business??

the fact is most business are good will but its your investment so you have to be 100% committed or youll loose custom

[R W C]
