Established and profitable handyman/property maintenance business serving Milton Keynes and surrounding areas.
An excellent opportunity to acquire an established, highly regarded local handyman business with an existing customer base, established reputation and significant potential for growth.
The business currently generates approximately £32,000 annual turnover and £23,000 operating profit, while being operated by the owner for approximately 30 hours per week.
The sale includes a well-maintained van valued at approximately £18,000, together with professional tools and equipment valued at approximately £2,000–£3,000.
The opportunity
The business has deliberately been operated on a manageable 30-hour working week, meaning the current turnover does not represent the full potential capacity of the business.
A new owner prepared to take on additional work and operate closer to full-time could increase turnover using the established customer base, reputation and existing lead flow, without having to spend years building a business from scratch.
The business would also suit an existing tradesperson or property maintenance company looking to expand into the Milton Keynes area.
What's included
- Established trading name and branding
- Established website and domain
- Existing online presence and Google business reputation with over 50 star reviews
- Established customer base
- Customer contact and business records
- Existing telephone contact details
- Professional van valued at approximately 18,000
- Tools and equipment valued at approximately £2,000-£3000
- Existing business systems and processes
