[Nottingham Window Cleaning]

I run Nottingham window cleaning, i own the domain name and website for nottinghamwindowcleaning.com (which googles very well!) i have 70000 per annum worth of good work(domestic and commercial)in the Nottingham area which increases daily with a massive scope for taking my business to a much higher yield.
I am at a crossroad now of whether to buy  more vans and expand or to sell up and try something different!
What price does anyone think i could ask for this as is with van ,website,phone numbers and probably 5 grands worth of equipment, plus all my customers !!
Just looking at my options.
Thanks David

Surely if your business is as big as your saying, you should have some ideas yourself of the business worth. I would do if i was you.

Wow that's good going £70,000 - did you switch to wfp in 2012 or did you start window cleaning then?

I was working for Andrews window cleaning (best mate) also googles very well! then went on my own in 2012 as nobody had Nottingham Window Cleaning!

Yes of course i have a rough idea of what i want! Just thought you experts on here could give me some input!!

Does Nottingham qualify as the north? 

[Shrek]

It's most definitely in the south with those earnings

Depends on a lot of things really , Nottingham is a big place , how many miles does your round cover? how many people do you have to employ to achieve those earnings?
Average price?
Is it monthly/ 8 weekly etc ?

Did you get your customers by door-knocking or leafleting?

Cheers for the reply,
Most my work is on a 4 weekly basis , i do most of it on my own with a lad working with me  twice a week. Majority is within a five mile radius of wollaton nottingham(where i live) ,but individual days are now quite compact due to a few years of tweaking the round! I also have regular gutter empties ,fascia soffit cleans ,con cleans etc which i fit in on Saturdays if not possible in the week!

Started by leafleting,door knocking,but now most work comes from the internet,word of mouth and picking customers up on the street you are working on !!

In 2013 you said you were thinking of putting "your lad" in a separate van. Did you?

Thanks. Nice one. You've obviously got motivation, a keen sense of ambition and a desire to succeed. Fair play.

I've just gone through this post in a little more detail.

Hats off to you. 70K a year pretty much as a sole trader. I take my hat of to you in that this disproves those idiots who come on here bad mouthing the abilities of window cleaners in the north of the country.

In 4 years! Fair play.

70K a year is about £5.5K - £6K a month, so I guess a well established up and running business offering a full time wage from the 'get-go' might attract £35K - £40K plus second hand value of vehicle, established website etc. I'd expect be to looking at £50K as package perhaps.

You know what mate ,thanks for taking your time to have a look!
Wasn't far off that figure myself.thought maybe i could get a years turnover if i am lucky!
Be a good business for someone,who wants to work hard for a decent income.
Apart from yourself,quite surprised at other peoples comments!
Thought we were all on the same page!!
Cheers again

70k in 4 years. I wouldn't have thought possible starting from 0. Unless you bought a round. you must have picked a good area

You're welcome. You get a few knuckle draggers in all walks of life mate.

Makes it all the more pleasant when you come across someone with motivation and you get to sort the wheat from the chaff.
