Estimating Software For The Construction Industry For Sale

Business description

• The business was originally founded over 17 years ago while the present directors have had it for over 9 years, during which time they have expanded significantly.

REASON FOR SALE

• The directors are only now reluctantly offering the business to the market as they wish to retire.

PRODUCTS

• The business has developed a comprehensive software range for the construction industry, which is highly functional and easy to use
• The software can be used for all sizes and types of job including small and large building projects and civil engineering works as well as specialist trades
• The software runs on most networks provided that windows is available and is automatically set to run in multi user mode to allow more than one user in the same job at the same time
• This is a powerful yet affordable range of estimating and post contract software which is only usually found in systems costing many thousands of pounds more. This underlines the vast potential which this business software offers.

CUSTOMERS

• The software has been supplied nationwide in the UK and exported to many countries including New Zealand, Cyprus, Malta, Uganda, West Indies, Ireland, Turkey, Denmark, Sweden, South Africa and Saudi Arabia.

STRENGTHS

• A very well established business which has been trading for over 17 years
• Niche software which compares very favourably with other systems which are vastly more expensive and not so flexible
• A low overhead business which could be run from anywhere in the world
• Annual recurring maintenance fees of circa £100,000 which are growing year on year.
