possibly selling up?

[benji2203]

hi all, bit of a long story but ive got to get out my yard and am really struggling to find somewhere to go to, so im thinking about selling up...

would it be best to sell as a business (equipment, tools phone number,name, advertising etc)

or split everything up individually?

id like to sell it as 1 whole thing

what do you guys think?

 

thanks

Where are you situated?

[benji2203]

im just outside portsmouth,

it not a big business its only me! ive been doing it for 4 winters now so its fairly well established in my area

not definatly gonna sell up but its an option as im running out of time to decide what to do before i have to get out my yard!

I may be interested in any gear you may be letting go, if you decide to sell things seperately, as i am just down on the Island.

 

Im not sure how viable it is to buy/sell small tree companies, i guess when you have customers, they are hiring you as a person rather than a business, so im not sure if that would cross over very easily.

 

Seeing as how so much equipment retains its value, i'd suggest that you'd make more money selling it all individually. It is convinient to sell everything in one, but you tend to end up doing some sort of bulk discount and it ends up being a firesale. There is plenty of demand for almost everything on an individual basis. even rusty old spikes get £50 on ebay easily!
