An opportunity to acquire an established turnkey business due to retirement of existing franchisor after over ten years of profitable trading, the business itself has been trading nearly 30 years and has established a very good reputation within the franchise area.
As part of the ‘Stumpbusters’ group the work on a daily basis involves calling at clients premises to remove tree stumps using modern machinery. As such good communication skills and a degree of mechanical competence would be an asset. Purchaser must be willing to work outside in all weathers.
A comprehensive list of previous clients will be provided, many of whom work in related fields and give repeat business on a regular basis.
A full training package from the group will be offered in both the practical work, as well as marketing and business building.
The business is available as a going concern with the option to purchase not only the ongoing goodwill but also machinery, tools and vehicles as required by the purchaser to enable them to take over the existing diary and potentially be earning from day one. All machinery costs etc can be negotiated to suit the budget of the purchaser, and the vendor is willing to help in any way to spread the costs over a reasonable time, providing a suitable deposit is paid.
The Vendor is also willing to give hands on support to enable a smooth takeover, and may be able to offer holiday / sickness cover for a period of time.
Currently the business is run on a part time lifestyle basis, solely by the Vendor with no additional staff, relying mainly on existing clients and word of mouth. There is a huge opportunity for an energetic entrepreneur to benefit from the proven marketing policy provided by ‘Stumpbusters’ and significantly improve the turnover and profitability.
The business is currently run from home, a purchaser would ideally live within the franchise area, and have a secure area to keep the machinery needed.
