can anybaody tell me how much i would get for my round (approx) if i was going to sell, it pays £1600 p/week 80% residential 20% commercial, mostly wfp... very compact and done for over 11 years....

You could easily ask 3x the monthly/fortnightly takings depending on price of each job
-
:o wow that's serious money!
Usually it's three times the value (four at a push!)
But this amount of work could be worth 4-5 it's worth
I should imagine you would have to settle for a lump, and a % over time!
:o make my round look like a... a single "R" never mind Round! :'(

well how long have you been doing it for, i been at it 11 years...
-
and somebody else is partner with me so you could say only half is mine...

its depends on how much its worth per day as opposed to overall, how many guys does it take to do it,
if its 2 then thats only 800p/w in reality, so £160 per day, which isnt the best, but if its one man, then i would pay 5 times for that
-
takes 3 1/2 days a week, 2 men...

I,ve never bought or sold any window cleaning work but looked at as strictly a business investment even 5X which is just short of £36k it's a sound deciision.
The residential to commercial mix is good. I like residential because of cashflow and loyalty. It's well established and compact and done in 7 man (Sorry "person") days :) so there is room for expansion. One option would be to buy the lot and sell off 2 or 3 days worth to make it a one man round. I would think it's all well priced as well to make £800 a man in 3 1/2 days.
It would cost anyone around that sort of money to buy a franchise. Probably with no customers and 30% franchise fees to pay.
Anyone got a spare £36k I can borrow? :D

nah, its just really a valuation to see what peeps think its worth. the last job i had was in a factory working 9 till 5 for £130 a week cant see myself going back to crap like that or doing anything else for that matter...

In that case 2X max!!! :P ::)
-
3.5 days I would say is about 5.5 days max for one guy.
2 guys do not do double the amount of work on domestics it just is logically not possible, and have tested it time and time again.
if thats a true value, then I would be asking way over 4x, if you was near me I would but the lot.

-
up until just over a month ago there was a third hired hand it took us all 3 days so a man less as added on half a day... its when he left we decided to get the wfp...

if you have just gone wfp, in a few months you will knock a day off about a day off your working time
-
i hope so, that would be good....

If that work could be done by 1 man or 1 man and help a couple of days a week if they gave you 50k they`d still be getting a good deal.

Come down to cambridge I can sell you some work :)
-
thanx,
i have to say people on here are very helpful and have bought a small round of a number i was given on here and i've been given another one today. however i have been really messed around with window cleaners on ebay, one in harrogate and another in buxton really messed about, frustrating when people advertise stuff and either don't get back to you or stand you up with no calls, but at least when i do get one i can settle down for next 30 years...wife says 40..lol
cheers
-
nah mate, i was just trying to value the work i've built up....

I do hope you didn't take my reply as insincere, :)
I was only making the point that my round in comparison was very small! 8)
-
no not at all mate....
-
just a couple of people on here rattled my cage a little tonight, there not too bright....
-
;) people can get tetchy about almost anything, I have seen it quite a few times!
My advice don't say anything you might regret... if you do apologize... soon-as ;D
Avoid bad feelings they will only bring you down ;)
I find if you upset people they wont answer your questions
Then when you want advice, you don't get it!
and thats why we all joined the forum in the first place ;D ;D ;D
