Home Based Rubbish Removal Company For Sale

Business description

This well established rubbish clean up and hauling business has been serving greater Los Angeles, from the Hollywood hills to Malibu, and south to LAX for over 22 years. The business specializes in clearing out furniture, appliances, and other unwanted household items from estates, homes, apartments, garages, storages and offices. With a long list of high profile clients, the business has succeeded due to its reputation for a high level of service, confidentiality, and trusted relationships it has developed. Health concerns have forced the owners to sell the business against their will, and have also required them to reduce their workload in recent years. With minimal expenses, the business has averaged net profits in excess of $50,000 over the last 10 years, with the highest yielding years producing over $70,000 in profit in 2002 and 2003.
