Purchasing commercial work.
« on: February 20, 2012, 06:40:43 pm »
I have been offered a large number of shops etc to buy off a local window cleaner. He hasnt gave me the price yet but was wondering what the 'going rate' was for this type of work?
Im not yet aware how much this work generates a week/month...

Cheers

I know the shops that he cleans, and the vast majority are long established business's, not shops that only last a year or so.

i know a lot of people thought i was mad but i paid 10x and its worked out brilliantly.  if the odd one closes down, because of the frequency of shop cleans its likely that you will always be the first window cleaner on the scene to offer your services when the shop opens under new owners.  i have quite a few where the shop has been 4 different things .
