Sorry but that doesn't make sense :
45k is not a lot of money for the work been offered, most people
with a well run legit business could raise that sum of money.
The work is as garanteed as any other window cleaning business
for sale just make sure you  meet the majority of custy's.
How do you guess it's worth 18-25k?

Microsoft may be struggling a bit lately but I think they are still worth a bit more than a four man wc business.

I had a shock when my accountants told me what they thought my business was worth.

I nearly fell off my chair

[TomCrowther]

They use a formula- turnover minus expenses x whatever. Anyone looking to buy a round should get the figures and let their accountant have a look. Could save them from an expensive mistake.

£2,400 weekly is £10,400 not £12,000.

Just a thought.

Vin

Would de slightly more than £10 400 per month Vin but you're right,certainly not £12 000

In what way?

£2,400 * 52 = £124,800.

£124,800 / 12 = £10,400.

QED.

4 weekly clean will bring in more, it equates to 13 cleans a year, but the maths still don't add up, on the sellers part

[Moderator David@stives]

You would get your original purchase price plus increased value when you sold it.

What it takes now is somewhat irrelevent to what could be earned if you put a little effort into it after you bought it.

My reckoning is that business could hit £250 k in 18 months then possibly £350k plus the year after.

Once you get to a certain size, then the business takes its naural momentum and will grow.

What the purchaser needs to do is to get off the tools and go and grow the business, this has a tremendous scope to grow and make some money as well as increasing the potential resale price

A didny notice either,he had already allowed for the 13 cleans  £2 400 weekly would be £9 600 4 weekly and £10 400 monthly.

Depends.

If it costs 10k in wages then no. The turnover means nothing.

You will also NOT be able to work 5 day weeks on a regular basis in that location with ladders either!

I was trad and on ladders, and without employees 7 years ago, with a lot less turnover than that round,

At that time, one of my inspirations was meeting a guy who had a domestic round turning over £250 k with 4 employees.

It can be done

He probably still laughs to himself about that encounter!

Why is that?

I don't understand your post

[wpclean]

I asked the question because I was curious how others would see this as an investment.

By the responses it just goes to show how one person sees the potential and, another not.

Personally I think if it was nearer to me I would go for it.
