Title: Whats it worth
Post by: bluenote on February 10, 2007, 06:34:41 pm

I intend to retire from window cleaning this spring and am wondering what the value of the round would be?
I currently turn over about £1000 a month working 31/2 to 4 days aweek about 6 hours a day in the Burton on Trent area with a mixture of domestic and comercial work. and have been established for 20 years. any opinions or advice you have would be most appreciated

thank you.

I would say £2,000 - £3,000 would be a fair price, perhaps a little more, depending on how much the comercial work is worth.

if i was buying £2000-£3000 is what i would want to pay
but a twenty year old round would you want to sell so low?
if the work is compact and well priced you could get more
location seems to be a factor also
i believe in manchester they sell rounds regularly at 10x the monthly total :o
at the end of the day its only worth what someone will pay

Hi Bluenote,
I may be interested in the work if you are still considering selling.

What are your prices ie how many jobs for that amount?

Also what is the split residential/Commercial please?

email me at tony.thornton@centralwindowcleaners.co.uk
