*Lifestyle Windfall!... *Work 20 hours per Week... *2019 EBIT Over $155,000.... *Low Overheads... *Revenue growth of 21% last fin year. *Diverse Client Base...This programmed service and maintenance business is an authentic lifestyle acquisition. It has proven to be resilient in times of economic uncertainty and has served the vendor well for over 20 years. It has developed a strong, though compact presence within the market focusing on some of the more affluent areas of Sydney. The vendor has not actively marketed the business for several years, so a new and enthusiastic owner has enormous scope to expand the business both within the present areas and further afield.

There are no formal office hours. The vendor creates his own service schedule to suit his lifestyle and the requirements of his customers. The average is 4 days per week. A new owner could increase their return if they were to spend more time in the business. The sale comprises the assets of the business (including vehicle), including tangible assets, intellectual property and goodwill. The sale is on a cash free / debt free basis. The vendor will offer the purchaser appropriate training and handover of the business. Transferability of this business to a new owner is an easy process.
