Title: Hire business for sale
Post by: from edge2edge on June 25, 2010, 11:01:45 am
I am too busy with my truckmount work especially in Oxford to keep my Hire business running in Swindon so its up for grabs.I have 3 Numatic ctd902 carpet cleaning machines which do a very reasonable job(it aint professional but i have many satisfied customers).Also a small electric fan(gets an extra £5 as a rental) along with a box of 12 litres of excellent shampoo and loads of other chemicals for spot cleaning etc(microsplitters and others).It would ideally suit someone in Swindon as i can also include 2years advertising on Swindonweb(machine shown not the numatic) which brings in a steady flow of work.This has paid for itself over the last 2 years and would make an excellent add on to a window cleaner i think.I would prefer to sell the kit and the website to a Swindon based person for say £1200(with on going support) but will sell the kit seperately for £950.Feel free to ring me on 07878601150 if you require any further information.Regards Alan Turner(swindon)

I can sell items seperately if that suits your requirements(1 or 2 machines say with some shampoo/spotters/fan an advice on how to promote business).Regards Alan

Alan

Can i ask why you are selling this set up - i know from when i've worked with you that you get quite a bit of business from these machines

Jon I just cant fit it in with my work in Oxford(truckmount and thermadry stuff).I quite often get a hire when people only want to do a room and wont pay the £60 min charge i have so i convince them(sometimes) to hire a machine off me and do the whole house themselves for £35(tight bees).Even if you only have one machine to hire out it can prove a good little earner(especially if you add the fan for £5 then sell them a microsplit spotter for £8(or whatever you can get).It certainly helped me get my business started and as i have said before i picked up some commercial work through this too so quids in all round.Regards Alan(swindon)

Hi Alan,

 Are the insurance premiums expensive for this type of business mate.

Arthur you got me there mate as i didnt have serperate insurance for this side of the business suppose i should have really even though i really do emphasise whatever the customer does when i leave them is down to them(possibly a bit naieve with all the claims nowadays but i have been ok so far).Regards Alan
