Taxi & Private Hire Business With Council Contracts For Sale

Business description

We are pleased to have been instructed to offer to the market this very well established and busy private taxi business.

Founded over 7 years ago by the current vendor, the business is only now being reluctantly offered for sale as he plans to semi-retire.

Our client cherry picks the work which he chooses to undertake, as he is well known for reliability and excellent customer service.

The business has 2 local school contracts as well as being the taxi firm of choice for a local hospital and local councils. This regular work accounts for approximately £20,000 per annum of turnover.

The business is also well known for its airport runs completing up to approximately 12 in a busy week.

The business achieved annual sales of circa £50,000 in the last year and expects to have a similar turnover in the current year.

The transfer of phone numbers (including a mobile) will be completed as part of the sale.

The business has 3 vehicles presently which are:
• Mercedes Vito which is an 8 seater mini bus that has been specially adapted to transport wheelchairs
• Vauxhall Vectra
• Kia Sadona which is a 3 seat vehicle adapted to transport wheelchairs.

At present, marketing is restricted to local magazines. Advertising in the Yellow Pages could generate more business.
The business is an ideal opportunity for someone looking for a first time business venture.
The vendor works full time in the business with the assistance of 1 part time employee and 2 self employed drivers, who concentrate on the school runs.
