Step into an established, highly profitable operation generating over £100,000 in annual revenue from day one, backed by the UK’s leading estate agency board management brand.
Agency Express Stoke-on-Trent represents a rare opportunity to acquire an exclusive, mature territory with a 12-year trading pedigree, an active portfolio of estate agency accounts, and continuous daily cash flow. While a standard greenfield start-up requires months of prospecting to build a customer base, this van-based resale allows you to bypass the start-up phase entirely and take over a thriving business due to the current operator’s retirement.
This established operation is available at an asking price of £45,000, presenting a substantial return on investment underpinned by an annual revenue of £100,298. The territory returned an audited net profit of £28,753 while staffed with an employed driver; should you choose to operate the van as an owner-driver, that net profit figure has the immediate potential to double.
