Business description
The Company is a well established commercial cleaning contractor with an excellent client base and reputation. It has developed steadily since its inception and incorporation in February 2004 and is now offered for sale by the current Shareholders due to their wish to emigrate.

The current client base is substantial and extremely well mixed and is contained mainly within the M25 but also stretches into the Home Counties. Business is derived from the commercial sector and is pre-dominantly contract based. The sectors include office refurbishment, construction and newbuild cleaning, office and common area contracts. The Company is now well established and is therefore able to rely mainly on repeat business, recommendations and referrals. There is a regular inflow of enquiries from the various clients. In addition the Company is well advertised on the web with occasional optimisation spends.

The Company is operated using QuickBooks and Service CEO. Service CEO is a simple, easy to use software program specifically designed for the service industry. This system makes it incredibly simple for someone to take over the business as it incorporates customers, jobs, employees/contractors, pay allocation etc. through to invoicing, all integrated in one system.

Currently based in Surrey, the Company requires a small office space from which to operate and this could be done from any site in the London / Home Counties areas and therefore is easily re-locatable, making the business a perfect purchasing opportunity.

The Company relies on an established staff structure including a Contracts Manager, team leaders and cleaning operatives.

The Company has extensive insurance, is registered as a Safe Contractor and with Safety Services Direct for its health and safety requirements.

Reasonable offers accepted. Quick sale required as owners are emigrating.

Years established: 5 years

Employees: 17

Trading hours: Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm with some weekend and evening work.

Expansion potential
The Company expansion and growth potential is phenomenal given its ability to survive the current economic climate and still secure new contracts on a regular basis from existing and new customers. Most business is directed to the company through referral and repeat customers.

Owners emigrating.
