Right this is what annoys me here and i know i may annoy a few of you in the process but how can you actually SELL up a round window cleaning?  Im being serious here, you can sell your business as its got a reputation but you cant sell a round on, you may sell it and the buyer could be a dickhead and then the round is lost.  If you want to be a window cleaner you earn it and build the round up yourself, simple as that.  Sorry if ive knocked a few cages around whilst saying that lads but i feel its better to work at it yourself, fair enough sell a few houses on for what they are worth in a month but after that forget it.  This guy looking 10k for 80 custys a month is having a laugh too!!

He'll have a very bloody Happy Christmas if he pulls it off. Someone will probably and up divorced, homeless, broke and bordering suicide. But who cares. Scumbag's minted.

You can sell work on even if its not as a business. I think of it this way. If I sell, I am selling a recommendation to use a person or company. I may have worked hard to gain a good reputation with the customers and they will no doubt trust my judgement on who I recommend to clean the windows after I finish. Admittedly my judgement is swayed by charging the new windowcleaner a sum for the recommendation to the customer. If the new window cleaner retains the good reputation I have built up he will potentially recieve many times the outlay for that customer.

It is not work that is for sale but a recommendation.

If i could get that money for mine i would sell tomorrow

You won't know unless you try ::)

In 1997 I had a round turning over £1500 a week.  I sold it for £30,000.  This guy is asking twice as much as I did, but I ws in a hurry to sell
