Business description
The particular highlights of the business are:
• The owner may be prepared to accept staggered payments for the business, enabling the buyer to pay from profits although a lump sum sale would be more favorably considered.
• Ideally located concern offering excellent lifestyle.
• A well established business.
• Good loyal clientele.
• Fully equipped business with loyal and well trained staff.
• Turnover in excess of £57,000 with a net profit of £21,000 in a fully staffed business. The profit would be much larger if the business is operated by a sole trader (See financial summary below). This is very impressive considering the credit crunch.
• A business with great potential which has not been exploited because the owners operate the commercial cleaning wing to the business.
• An easily run operation.
• Good loyal well trained staff.
• A good first time buyers business.

Phoenix Business Transfer Agents are delighted to place onto the market this thriving and well established domestic cleaning business which has been established since 1996. The business has been in the hands of the current owner since 1996 and she now wishes to sell due to other business interests.

This very good business opportunity provides a high quality cleaning service. They have around 30 regular jobs as well as one offs. The clients are long standing and other related services are offered with the help of other businesses.

The concern employs 4 staff. There is one driver supervisor and 3 cleaning staff. The total wage bill is £28,000. All staff would stay on after a sale.

The owners’ role is very part time and she works mainly as a supervisor

The owner markets the business through Google via their website with excellent SEO and yell.com as well as the yellow pages. Flyers are also distributed.

As far as competition is concerned there are other cleaning companies in the area but this concern provides a consistently exceptional service. The standards are very high and always maintained.

The client base consists of local domestic clients

The concern has huge potential. In particular the turnover and profits can be increased by:
• Increasing the marketing activity with direct mailings and local and internet advertising.
• Increasing the staffing levels
• Increasing the service line to include other services.
• Becoming more efficient with staffing levels.
• Working more hands on hours and saving on wages.

The owner would be available for a business familiarisation period of one week for the benefit of the new owners if required. The Owner would also be happy for an on the job observation period to assess the business prior to offers being made.
