we have 11 but they are not all out. Our goal this year is to have them all out giving a monthly turnover of about £65k

We dont use the accounting side of cleaner planner, so no expenses are entered

To be honest I have nearly had enough. The stress and expense is high. This will be the last year of real growth for us. We plan to deliver another 1million lealfets this year and will top out at £800k.

After that I need a rest for a few years. I might set up another base and replicate the first one but I think that will take an investment of around £350k and 3 years of my time to build, I would have to move house to live near that base during that time ect. It might not happen.

I'd be interested in some thoughts on the difference between selling a round and selling a business if there even is one.

Ah I see.

No I would not sell. Ticking along and earning is one thing. The forced and rapid growth is the part ive had enough of.

Also on another post it is claimed that there is a difference between a window cleaning round and a window cleaning business. (not related to you) Hence someone is wanting more for the work than the average going price for the areas.
As I wondered if you would sell at some point I was interested in the selling valuation or % per annum between a small business and a large or in your case a very large window cleaning business.

I see.

Well my opinion would be selling a round is selling a customer base. Selling a "business" would be the customer base plus all the assets of the company, vans, premises, equipment ect and it is then still run under the same name by someone else.

The general rule for selling any business is 3-5 times the anual profit plus the asset value. Sale price should not be based on turnover as it always seems to be in window cleaning.
