i think if you have accounts for it then you should sell it as a business ie with van system evertything, i mean if well estabilished and the accounts match you will get more that way.

may be wrong but thats my opionion!

Why are you selling it? sounds like premium work to me, £60k per year sounds like a pretty good turnover to me.

the going rate is round about 3x / 4x (if it is good work)
i know in the bristol area, you are looking at that amount. But thats not including the van mind, you can add what the van is worth to that.

so why is it that a round worth 5g mth is only worth 15 - 20k  :( and not 3x / 4x a year  :D :D :Dmaking it worth 180 - 240k 8). It clearly worth more then 15/20k. what's your thought ;D

Highrise are you aving a laugh? for a man with a 5k a month window cleaning round you seem to ask some strange questions. You should know all the answers with that kind of success -  we should all be coming to you for advice somehow things don't add up?

you might think its strange but im looking at it in a business point off view. Do you think  60k ayear business is only worth 15 / 20k. I dont.... you must be strange if you do

as you asked

most of my work is nicely priced and compact, 1 of the guys had worked it for 12 years and it was well established before he had the work

i paid 1 X the amount, so 5 K i paid 5 K

the other work was from another well established round who was "taking it easier" and wanted to sell, i paid 1 X the amount again

both the above i worked with the guys, i didnt get paid, just took 50 % off the amount

so i would have paid 2 & 1.2 K for 5 K work

the last lot was a guy moving to oz, i paid 1 X that work, which included some very nice commercail, whiich has more than paid for itself many many times a round

so to finish, 1 X the amount ;) thus 5 K for the work

It makes me laugh when people say that a business that takes £5000 a month is only worth 3-4 times the monthly take,you cannot compare that business to someone who might be selling silly amounts of work worth a few hundred quid that they canvassed in an evening.I`ve said it before £15-20k is nothing for a long established round that generates that kind of income month in month out,if i could pay that amount for a business that i was going to get full return in 3-4 months i`d think i was onto a right result.You can`t judge that kind of business by simply saying it`s only worth 3-4 times the take off the cuff so to speak.

if this is directed at me, the people i brought it off were well established and 1 of them is the biggest WC'er in the area, but he didnt want this work and we both agree'd on 1 X the amount

afterall your not buying anything, its just a goodwill payment, the customer can leave at any moment ( and a few did from 1 of the guys ) no problem, they just didnt like the change

If you paid ix the amount for that work he either needed to get rid of it quick for some reason or it was run around like a headless chicken kind of work,my customers would expect me to sell to a trustworthy good wc.If your buying a round of terrace houses or a round of council houses your taking a chance,if i sold my round the person or persons would have to pass a CRB check cos a lot of my customers would put there name through one,that`s the difference with some businesses.

the work is nice work, well priced and very compact, so no issue 's with the quality of work

i brought from 3 guys, 1 who was " semi retireing", 1 who was "taking it easier" and the other who was moving back to oz, all 3 were in no hurry to sell

if you ask around and people who dont use the net and most WC'ers dont, then the going rate is 1 or 2 X the amount, ive since been offered work by a guy who was moving to a different area, once again priced at 1 X the amount
