Im looking to reduce the area we cover hence considering selling some of my commercial work,
How much is this sort of going work for ?
-
Good commercial, probably between
5 times and 10 times monthly turnover
-
Where is the work you are thinking about selling Steve?
-
Don't want to give away to much at the mo but London up M4 to Berkshire area, all work concentrated
Some sites are window cleans only others require annual gutter cleans with Gutter vacuum system
-
I work the M4 corridor, so would be interested.

Steve - Why don't you sub it out?

Rather sell select commercial jobs and concentrate on local houses, reducing clerical work,
I will keep local commercial work, Its the sub contract work along with sites furthest away I'm looking to sell

Hi Steve
I could well be interested, I live in Berkshire and cover up to Beaconsfield at the moment with commercial work we do. We have all the relevant equipment to do this type of work. I am looking to take on more commercial work. Can I contact you direct?
Thanks
Tom

The value of commercial work tends to sell higher but it all depends on what type of work it is and what contracts are in place and how long you have had the work for.
-
You will be lucky if it's subcontract work you are selling ,not something I would purchase
-
Unless there are legally binding contracts in place then IMO it's value is affected by the risk. Personally I'd pay very little for any commercial work with no guarantees.
-
You don't get guarantees with any work you buy.
Just depends on how you feel about taking risks.
Do your research properly and buying work just always work out alright in my opinion.

We have been cleaning all sites that I'm looking to sell for 4-6 years, There are no written contracts in place just ongoing work
The work isn't sub contracted to me, We sub contract a couple of the sites out
Has anyone bought or sold commercial work, what is the best procedure to transfer the work to the new contractor?
-
Good commercial, probably between
5 times and 10 times monthly turnover
Make me an offer at 10 times my commercial work and I will sell you 10k worth of work per month, and slow down myself ;D
That would be a cheque made payable for £100,000 please.

Hi Steve
I bought a substantial domestic round last year (with a couple of commercial jobs within it). We came up with a good way of transferring the work keeping everyone involved happy - most importantly the customers.
If you're serious about selling and could supply area details (just post code areas not the actual jobs) and a breakdown of the figures etc we could discuss further?
Thanks
Tom
-
Steve drop me a pm or email address and I will contact you in the morning..
-
Good commercial....
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
How do you rate it or rank it ?
-
High hourly rate
Reliable payers
-
Can't be that good if he's getting rid.
-
Hi . Would be interested to find out about the work for sale. Drop me a text or call me om 07596 453 456 if you would like to discuss. best wishes Steve

Thanks for the feedback, As mentioned previously, Selling the work is something I'm considering, Once decided I will defo get back to you guys who are interested
If I were to sell, I would sell in small sections/all jobs with one managing agent at a time
Its good priced long standing work, I have a good relationship with the managing agents and occasionally asked to quote new work, hence the reluctant sale,
Hourly rate varies from £50 - £125 per hour, Smaller jobs which take an hour to complete work out on a higher hourly rate...
For example
London area
Job 1 £125 takes between 45 mins - 1 hour to complete , 3 floors
Job 2 requires rope access & small amount of 60ft WFP, works out and WFP 4 hours labour max it on the upper end of the hourly rate,
Berkshire
Job 1 £190.00 2.5 hours to complete, 5 floors,
Job 2 £75 1.5 hours, 2-3 floors,
Parking on all sites

Is that you working on your own or with two operatives? Is the work done through estate management companies?
Thanks

Hi Steve
I sold my commercial business couple years ago, best decision I have made all that clerical work the early mornings, often the demands of when work needs completing, on this time this day, all no more
Sold it for a years value, paid mortgage off, 2 years down the line still in contact with the buyer, his more than happy
I just focus on domestic now and more than happy,
The guarantees are difficult but his young and took a gamble and it paid of for him as his had good leads and an increased in new customers
