a trad w/c round that takes approx £300 every 2 weeks...... what is the max you would pay for this round.......... after yor replies i will tell you the price i was offered it for first it will shock you, then it will make you chuckle. however it just made me speechless

[markybop]

Prob around the 2K mark..........

[r4g1t]

yes that seems fair

[r4g1t]

even more than that mate

[scrimit2]

I would pay £300 for it, but i could see the case for £600 seeing its every 2 weeks, but I guess its ten times my first offer l

[S.A.J]

10k 

[r4g1t]

10k lol DO YOU WANT TO BUY SOME WORK

[scrimit2]

I gave away almost £1000 months worth of work, to a guy I thought was a friend, I thought I was helping a friend in need lol, he never did the work, just tried to sell it! more fool me! dare I look at this thread when you tell us how much?

OK........ £4,500 not negotiable
when i advertise to buy rounds i usually put "good prices paid"  but this guy is taking the p**s

[matt]

i only ever pay 1 X the round, and ive brought in a fair bit of my work

afterall, they want to sell it aswell as you buying it, so its not like they are doing you a favour

[Moderator David@stives]

what would you pay for a round which produced £50k profit per year, ?

yes profit after all expenses paid.

by what you are talking about that would make the round worht between £5k and £10k

the normal price in and around the manchester area for the 18 years i have been running my own business is x 10 for fortnightly work , x 5 for monthly .......... i am currently looking to buy more work in the bolton area and i am well prepared to pay 10 cleans for it , maybe more if its v good work.......
i dont know how many window cleaners there are up & down the country , but there are so many window cleaners around bolton/manchester - obviously everyone wants good work so the price goes up and up..
example being someone is selling a commercial round in bristol for £5,000 which takes £1,000 per month = if that work was in the areas im looking to buy more work , firstly it would probebly be sold within first couple of hours it was advertised and secondly for alot more than £5,000........
i would say more in the £10,000 plus bracket , so it all depends where you are,where the work is and most importantly WHAT YOU ARE PREPARED TO PAY......

That`s exactly what i was thinking and if it`s a genuine business that really does produce those figures then the prices people are quoting are miles off,these kind of rounds are like rocking horse s*** and whne your talking £5-10k your talking peanuts.Blimey i saw one of those eismen food franchises for sale once and they only produce about 18-25k a year,if i`m selling a business that promises between 1-2k a week providing average weather then i`m gonna want a lot more than 5k for it.

[Dave hook]

Ive paid x10 for work around the manchester area before. Ive got work that I could sell for x15 if I wanted to get rid of it, basically this is due to competion and how well people are doing out of window cleaning.
 Every1 is starting to jump on the band wagon!

Nice to see some realistic posts for a change.

If you were to buy a restaurant or shop etc you would pay 2 times plus the annual profit

so if a shop makes £50k profit it would be worth between £100k and £250k depending how many years it had been showing that profit.

Companies on the stock exchange sell for even bigger multiples

what would the price be for a wheelie bin cleaning business,it takes between £3.500- £4000 a month which is two weeks work with room for expansion,the man who cleans my wheelie bin is selling,he has been doing this for about 4 years,the price he wants is £25000 but no van,only the customers,i watched him clean ours and neighbours and he earned £66 for 35 minutes work,would you pay this price for this business

[Dave hook]

For 25000 i would want the van as well, thats the usual deal with wheelie bins. You buy the customers, van and a free phone number if they have one.
 If you only bought the customers then you would have to go out and buy a pressure washer etc on top of your 25000

[rp cleaning services]

i beleive he is asking too much,i was half interested as you would only have to work 6 months to get most of your investment back,i was going to offer him £15000 but he told me he will get £25000 for his business as he sold his last wheelie clean business down in kent for £40000 before moving down here to lincolnshire.

[NWH]

Out of interest do you no how much they charge per bin,just curious.

[rp cleaning services]

he charges £3 a bin or £2.50 to some pensioners
