ESTABLISHED MOBILE AUTO LOCKSMITH BUSINESS FOR SALE – TURNKEY OPPORTUNITY
QUICK SALE – SERIOUS OFFERS CONSIDERED
Established, Profitable & Fully Equipped Mobile Auto Locksmith Business
A fantastic opportunity to acquire a long-established, fully operational mobile vehicle locksmith business, established in 2008 and successfully trading for over 16 years.
The business is being offered as a complete turnkey operation, including a fully equipped 2021 Renault Trafic LWB Black Edition van, specialist auto locksmith equipment, stock, established websites, customer enquiry streams, training and ongoing technical support.
The business is ready for a new owner to take over and continue trading immediately, with the potential to generate income from day one.
A Business With an Established Track Record
Established during the 2008 financial crisis, the business has successfully traded through changing economic conditions for many years and has built a strong reputation for providing a reliable, rapid-response mobile vehicle locksmith service.
The current owner has operated the business part-time in recent years, particularly as they approach retirement, meaning there is significant scope for a new owner to increase working hours, expand the service area and grow turnover and profits.
Previous years' accounts and business records are available for inspection by genuine prospective purchasers.
Fully Equipped & Ready to Trade
Included in the sale is a 2021 Renault Trafic LWB Black Edition, purchased new by the current owner and regularly maintained by the main dealer.
The van is equipped with modern specialist auto locksmith equipment, including:
Key-cutting machinery:
Miracle A9 Edge Automatic Key Production System, Silca FO Ford Tibbe Key Cutting Machine.
SKS Cylinder Key Cutting Machine.
Vehicle transponder programming equipment
Remote/fob programming equipment
Specialist locksmith tools
Locks and related equipment
A substantial stock of vehicle keys, remote fobs and transponders
The buyer can therefore acquire an established business operation rather than starting from scratch and having to source a vehicle, equipment, stock and customer enquiries separately.
The current owner has agreed to be available for technical support for an initial period.
Established Enquiry & Customer Sources
The business benefits from established, optimised websites and multiple sources of customer enquiries, together with recommendations and repeat/referral business built up over many years.
The current level of enquiries is more than the owner presently needs due to operating limited hours, creating an excellent opportunity for a motivated buyer to increase availability and convert more enquiries into jobs.
Excellent Expansion Potential
The business currently covers areas including:
Chester • Cheshire • Wirral • Liverpool • Merseyside • North Wales • Wrexham • Runcorn • Widnes • Warrington • Northwich • Winsford • Manchester
There is considerable potential to expand the existing operating area, particularly into Manchester and surrounding areas, or relocate the business entirely if preferred.
Because the business is mobile and van-based, the new owner is not tied to commercial premises and the operation can be run from home and relocated to another area.
Flexible Lifestyle Business
The business is currently owner-operated with no employees, and trading hours are completely flexible.
The work is varied and mobile, with different jobs and locations throughout the working day. The new owner can choose whether to operate the business as:
A full-time business
A part-time operation
An additional income stream
A larger regional mobile locksmith business
The existing business provides the foundations, equipment and customer enquiry sources, allowing the new owner to decide how far they want to take it.
Training & Handover Included
The sale includes support designed to help the new owner get up and running confidently.
This can include:
Residential/classroom-based training
Initial practical, on-the-job training
Handover and familiarisation with the equipment
Business guidance and advice
Ongoing technical support for an agreed period
The current owner is willing to share their knowledge and experience to help ensure a smooth transition and give the purchaser the best possible start.
Why Is the Business Being Sold?
The business is being offered for sale due to retirement and the owner's health circumstances.
The current owner is ready to step away and would prefer to pass the business to someone who can take advantage of the opportunities available and continue developing what has been built over many years.
A quick sale is preferred and genuine, sensible offers will be considered.
