Hi everyone,
Just joined and not sure if you can post business for sale…?? Also,does anyone know a blog or?? where you can list a business?
My business has been established for 32 years in Washington State between Seattle and Portland,Or…mix of Businesses and Residential…many long term of over 20+ years…Runs all year long,with appx. 130-150 actual days worked…last full year gross was appx. 55K … Great business for some young blood…will be retiring end of year…
Serious inquiries can contact me at : [email protected]
Thanks
Try Bizbuysell.com and Craigslist.
I sold all of my Residential Business in 2014 by listing it on Craigslist. A small owner operated company from a town about 60 miles away saw the ad and wanted to expand into my area. I was able to receive one years gross ( which is a premium price ). I also sent letters describing the offer to about 20 or so window cleaning services in the largest city that I live near.
If you look at previous threads on selling many will downplay what it is worth ( but had never actually sold a business ). I have never believed that. I read several books on selling service companies and business valuations and how to calculate that. I am kind of a financial numbers nerd anyway. I also sold about $60k in Route Work in 2004. Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Hi,
Thanks for the reply to my post…and YES…I’ve tried CL for almost 1 year,and got mostly time wasters…only had 2 really interested…also at 1 year gross…I’m thinking its because I’m not in a big city area…even lowered it down to little over 6 months gross which is a steal…but no luck…I’m ready to sell YESTERDAY…started last year because I knew I needed some surgery and would be retiring,so now its down to the line…and if I dont sell by Nov.,just going to shut the doors…sad…32 years,many long term accounts…and no one out here has the brains to take it over…
