firewood business for sale

[Badger1434]

Hi All,

 

I have a very tidy firewood busines for sale. We are based on the north somerset/wiltshire borders (near Bath). We have been going for 5 years and have a customer base of 500+ turning over 1,000 + tonnes of hardwood pa along with significant quantities of coal and kindling. Included in the sale is a brand new Hikke Pilke 1 x 37 easy (brand new done max 25tonnes) Log splitter, superb website with marketing strategy, records for 500+ customer base and about 20t of soft wood cord

 

This is a very nice little business and one that has grown significantly year on year. The reason for the sale is that this was a partnership and we both have other businesses outside of this that we need are focussing on. Sad to have to put it up for sale but only so many hours in the day!

 

If you are interested PM me. Thanks for looking and as they say in the states "have a nice day":thumbup:

Hi All,

 

We have been going for 5 years and have a customer base of 500+ turning over 1,000 + tonnes of hardwood pa along with significant quantities of coal and kindling. 500+ customer base and about 20t of soft wood cord

 

Looks a little strange to me how a 1000T+ per year business for hardwood firewood can operate from only 20T cord stock and softwood cord at that? I would expect you to have several hundred tons of hardwood cord stock or have you been splitting 1000Tand selling the very same season? That'd be a 1,800m3 log pile if you were storing to season. Mind bogling.

As has been said something does not add up here if you have 500 clients on your books you would sell more than a 1000 t as most of our clients have 5 or 6 cube a year so you should be getting through at least 2000t + and you have got 20 t of softwood. Your business is only worth the price of cord and machinery and the land it all stands on . How is someone going to find a 1000t of seasoned cord to sell .:confused1:

I wonder if amount of stock(or lack of) could vary depending on time of year?

 

Possibly if say in February, it would be expected you would have less cord stacked, and if you were intending selling the business, you would perhaps have not bought much in recently and have none on stock then?

 

Have a look at the date of the OP:sneaky2:
