Post by: darren clarke on October 29, 2010, 08:50:16 am: i am always wary of why people sell business like that, it make 3.5 grand a month unless he has been offered on job on 5 grand why leave, if he doesnt like it employ someon on 1500 max a months still leave 2000 operational and profit money, just doesnt sound right i think a lot of wc live in a dream world when it comes to selling up

Post by: Mike_G on October 29, 2010, 02:10:19 pm: They only thing that would concern me is the fact that it takes two people to do the work so its probably not that well priced but seeing as most people seem to think rounds are worth upto 10x monthly income it seems to be quite reasonable.

sorry cant write sarcasticaly, should have put a ::)

i would say its worth £10k what does everyone else think?

i bought my round for £15k but it had a yr old 2.0tdi fiat scudo, (worth £15k new) fully fitted out and £26.5k pa worth of work, (about 2-3 days a week) mostly 20min £20 houses. i think that was a good deal. once ive paid off the loan, only 2 more years to go, i can enjoy the money a bit better.

was very scary though, leaving a job and doing this. was shown how to clean one house then i was on my own!
