Highly Successful Drainage Franchise In East Anglia For Sale

Suffolk, UK
Asking Price:
£425,000
Turnover:
£426,672
Net Profit:
Undisclosed

An excellent opportunity to acquire a long-established drainage franchise covering a substantial territory across East Anglia. Trading under the current ownership since 2013, the business has grown into an established operation with a strong commercial customer base, repeat business and an experienced team already in place.

The business provides a range of drainage services, with reactive drain unblocking at the heart of the operation, alongside drain repairs, tanker services and planned preventative maintenance. A significant proportion of work comes from established commercial contracts, complemented by other commercial and domestic customers.

Day-to-day operations are supported by three full-time engineers and two administration staff. The sale also includes a fleet of three equipped jetting vans, allowing a new owner to step into an established operation with the key infrastructure already in place.

The franchise covers a large East Anglia territory, with the current owner believing there is still plenty of scope to develop the business further. Backed by the support and systems of an established national franchise network, this could be a great fit for an existing drainage or facilities management operator looking to expand, or an ambitious new owner looking for an established business with a team already in place.

Key Highlights

  • Established franchise trading under the current owner since 2013
  • Large East Anglia territory
  • Strong commercial and repeat customer base
  • Significant existing contract work
  • Three experienced fulltime engineers
  • Two administration staff
  • Three equipped jetting vans
  • Reactive, repair, tanker and PPM services
  • National brand and Head Office support
  • Plenty of opportunity to further develop the territory

Property Information

Location:

The franchise covers an extensive East Anglia territory, giving an incoming owner access to a considerable geographical marketplace.

The current owner believes there remains plenty of room for growth within the existing territory. Given its scale, there is an opportunity for a commercially driven buyer to increase penetration across areas and customer groups that are not currently being fully developed.

Potential growth could come from increasing local business development, building additional commercial relationships, expanding planned preventative maintenance arrangements and making greater use of the territory as a whole.

Premises Details:

The business has a lean and flexible operating model, running from a home-based administrative setup with engineers working remotely throughout the territory.

The operational fleet currently consists of three fully equipped jetting vans – two Mercedes Sprinters and one Mercedes Vito. Two of the vehicles are currently subject to hire purchase arrangements, which the seller intends to settle as part of the sale process.
