At the risk of repeating myself, people with businesses turning over those sorts of figures ARE SELLING A BUSINESS not a few streets worth of stuff that the current owner can't be bothered with anymore.
It's a business. Look up other types of businesses for sale and see how much they sell for compared to turnover.

precisley what i was saying a month or so ago - Any other business ie chip shop you are still buying goodwill and pay upwards of 1.5x yearly turnover

please tell me what you think the differnece between buting a chip shop business and window cleaning business is i would be really interested!!

now if this business can show good growth ie 4 years from zero turnover too 170k and has audited accounts is staff run then why would you not if you had the money???

the loan would be paid by the business whilst still making a profit, it may take years to pay off the laon but you still have the business growing and you are still making profit.

the remarks on here show the busines man from the window cleaners!!

My thoughts ronnie are that to make a wc biz worth money, you have to brand it, and then sell the brand, not the round as such.
just my thoughts.

so because i dont agree means im not a businessman, I find that affensive just because I dont agree, if you buy a shop, restaurant etc etc as soon as you open the doors people come through, when buying any cleaning business you will have to inform your custys of change leaving open for cancelation etc, I just dont think a cleaning business can be valued the same but i do believe its worth more then 3 times.

keeping the money bits out of it for a moment, i think the main differance is with a chippy you are dependant on your location as you have a fixed position, so if the buisness goes down the tubes your screwed. but with a wc round you can chase the work to any location an any time. so giving you more of a chance long term off success

Agree 100%, if you where to buy say initial then yes its worth buying but if you where to just buy there work then its not worth the same kind of money and its not a business your buying.
