Title: If i buy a round... Help please
Post by: wightsurf on March 27, 2007, 10:18:39 pm

Hi

If i was to buy a round is there any safe guards i can take as it's only good will.
Do i have to draw up some contract of sale or something or am i putting to much into it?

Any help please

Thanks

Martin

I'm sure a solicitor would be able to sort some sort of agreed contract out for you.

its only goodwill

if it feels dodgy, then walk away

i have allways worked the round once with the existing guy, it means 1/2 the rouns worth earnt by you, but collected by him, thus that money off the bill

also you get to meet a fair few customers and get introduced

If I was going to buy any round I would like to meet all the customers first with him and tell them I am going to be your new window cleaner.

Hi all
I think meeting all the new home owners is a good idea and may be work with the round owner, at least i would get to see what his work is like.

Regards

Martin

I have bought two rounds so far. The first I took on the staff that worked it so no issues with customers or pouching back.
The second more recently I paid half upfrom and the remainder once the the guy had showed us round and introduced us to the customers.

I also normally sign and agreement with them as well.
