Great for new to industry or veterans alike.

Can I be blunt?

 

Also you say for sale, based on the above it would be your assets that have value.

 

Is your price the cost of these?

Of course you can be blunt, What is for sale is a business, the business has assets which it has equity in, but what you get is a business with a very good local reputation, nearly all domestic clients who need repeat work doing each year, a list of every client, with the address, room to expand more into landscaping too.  A company that runs well and turns a tidy profit with zero leg work, open to all offers, have a look on the link if you want some further info.

Company name, logos, telephone numbers, client database (about 400), local reputation, etc etc etc,

Marc, if you want more information, contact the agent via the link, for someone new to the industry they could have this comfortably paid within four years, have a van and chipper running with a very descent, guaranteed income, that you would only otherwise get climbing like a chimp every single day of the week. (unless you went down the academic route of course).

Open to reasonable offers due to promptly leaving the country.

I think you would be better selling your kit and getting what you can back money wise that way. Your audience would be greater as people will travel to buy a van chipper saws and cutters etc etc however the business sale has a target audience of your area and frankly the reputation is yours not the businesses the phone numbers and contacts are worthless to someone with no rappor with those customers and logos web sites etc well that ain't worth much in this tech savvy world. 

 

Sorry for being blunt but if you are in a rush for some money return, sell the assets and forget the business.

WesD its possible a large tree company might (or might not) buy the business to expand, like a certain forum member with blue equipment

[Stumpy Grinder]

I've seen adverts like this before and I don't really get it? Apart from the equipment which clearly has value, you are basically selling your trusted reputation to an unknown quantity? This could be any Muppet that has the cash to spare, although the most likely buyer would be a newbie that wouldn't have that much collateral or experience anyway. If you'd worked with someone for a period of time and trusted them enough to take over, then that's acceptable. But how can you pass on business to clients that trust you implicitly, to someone that you don't even know? I appreciate that you are leaving the country, but surely you must have some moral obligation to those that have got you where you are?

Selling as a job lot is clearly the easy route for you, but if I was buying, I'd pay no more than the value of your equipment, which if you split, you will undoubtedly make more on anyway?

Good luck anyway with your move and change.
