surely one good point to come out of all of these newbies starting that it will add extra value onto your business as windowcleaning rounds will become more saught after...lets hope one day we can all get X 10 value per monthly clean as what they can achieve in Burnley...

If everyone was to sell at 10 times then you would all get it or newbies can build there own.

If i were to sell my round which i'm not i would definatly ask more than 4 times for a well established round.

bur stan you charge 3.60 but they charge say 12

it doesnt matter on how compact it is but on how much potential earnings it is so having a compact round  with £3.60 jobs and do 40 a day thats 144 a day but the £12 one does 20 houses thats£240 doing less work, i know which appeals to me

[trevor povey]

we achieve 10x because the work is compact,reading on here people do a job then load up and go elsewhere ,we park up and dont move car till dinner 

aup stan

all our rounds in leeds /wakey areas are compact(house after house,street after street) but we can realistically only achieve x3 or 4 which to me is relativley low...so what I,m saying with the influx of new scrimmers comming into the business the supply of work may not be there and hopefully this will push the value of our rounds up... Off topic ..... there was a lad from over your end who had a lot of work over by us a few year back ,ended up flitting to espania if you know who I mean.

ps stan I think you lads ask the right price for yr business

I've looked at this but I think rounds for sale are few and far between. Where I am anyway. There is one guy near where I stay and he as had it on wforsale for about 2 years now I think, and its still not shifted. I think he wanted 4x for a 2k round.

Not many newbies will have 8k kicking about, so I think there are more likely to try and biuld there own. Large nationals or exstablished windies might be, but I dont think many newbies effect this that much.

round for sale for 2 years

Its true that you can start from very little to 20k plus if you buy the dearest and best of everything in the window cleaning business. But in this climate, business are more inclined to stay firmly at the low end of the scale, especially with investments. I also think that its allot of money to have to give someone and have faith they are honest about there earnings. Then there customers might say no, if he isn't doing them I 'll find my own windy thanks etc etc.

But yeah there are disadvanted and advanataged to everything, hell I could go out and get £1000 of jobs and, with a pile of £4 houses no probs, underpriced yes, but if I am just going to sell it. So pricing would be a factor as well. Has anyone who has biult rounds before, then bought rounds when there business was doing well and wanted to expand quickly. How did that go?
