PROVEN HISTORY

The Business has been trading for 36 years with proven solid results and will continue to do so for many more.

STRONG CASH FLOW

The Business enjoys an excellent cash flow as most customers are retail and thus pay cash, with around 15% trade, providing a steady base of virtually guaranteed repeat business. In addition, it has long-term relationships with many business customers in various industries, including automotive sales and service, engineering and agriculture.

LOW RISK

The Essential Products and Services Business for Sale invoices around 40 clients daily, of which about 1in 10 have never used the business services before. Most customers are consumer/retail, with approximately 15% of sales trade-related. As a result, the Business has a broad spread of consumer and commercial customers, with no one client representing a high proportion of sales.

LOW ADVERTISING

The Business is fortunate to need no aggressive marketing plan or sales force to generate sales. Instead, the company relies on its long-standing reputation for quality and reliable service, which translates to repeat Business, excellent Google reviews and word-of-mouth referrals from satisfied customers to maintain its market leader status.

STOOD THE TEST OF TIME

The Business has continued to grow over the 36 years, with increases in sales and gross profits from inception despite the 90s recession, the GFC and the pandemic. Over the past four years, sales have grown year-on-year, with a return of solid growth over the past two years.

LOYAL CUSTOMERS

Some customer relationships go back 20 or even 35 years. Customers know the Business has specialist knowledge, often unavailable from most vehicle retail and service shops.

EXPERIENCED, LOYAL STAFF

This Essential Products and Services Business for Sale is remarkable for the loyalty and longevity of its multi-skilled and highly experienced staff, many of whom have worked in the Business for over 15 years.

NO RELIANCE ON SALES STAFF

Most sales are self-propelled, which means that the current owner does not have to spend time canvassing for clients or using company funds as advertising expenditure. However, it also puts the new owner in the enviable position of having at hand a means by which demand could almost certainly increase.

PROVEN PROFITS

The Business has a complete set of verified accounts that clearly show its profitability.

HIGH ASSET MIX IN THE PURCHASE PRICE

Tangible stock and equipment represent 66% of the purchase price. Therefore, it presents a lower risk and potentially delivers a higher bottom-line profit by minimising tax through claiming depreciation.
