At the risk of repeating myself, people with businesses turning over those sorts of figures ARE SELLING A BUSINESS not a few streets worth of stuff that the current owner can't be bothered with anymore.
It's a business. Look up other types of businesses for sale and see how much thney sell for compared to turnover.

no one disputing that, just asking who can afford it, personally i wouldnt pay for someting that will take 2 years to pay off, is this All Clean Services Limited, he a member on here.

wouldn't think its All Clean Sevices. £170k is about 5% of their turnover.

i pass the vat on , no problenms at all

when you met the crossroads and went vat registered, did you add vat to your existing customers prices, and how did they take it? I can see it not being a problem for new custies .

I added it on to most, it is surprising how far you cn push your prices when youre not bothered about losing any.

Most of my customers just wished me all the best on growing my business.

£170 k thats just one job for all clean !!!

[j.v. price ltd]

Have contacted the guy selling this work and had no further information that I asked for so he can't be that bothered about selling it.

I think it is important to state that a business can only be called a business if it employs staff or else it a self employment oppertunity.!! Then a business prce will never be based on turnover /gross profit.It has still got expences to take of eg salarys van diesel and all the rest which could bring turnover down a lot still. Then the price will be 2x net profit + stock.This formula was used on most business sale when I worked as a business broker about 6 years back so we all need to be prudent were we invest. Sorry guys if I sound high handed I do not mean to sound that way . Regards  Richard
