owner reloaction and change of personal circumstances

Highly scalable business and needs to be owner managed. In years gone by whilst the owner was managing business the profits far exceeded what has been declared. Hence the reactivation of pick up and drop off and the constant clear marketing to database of over 1500 clientele together with the reimplemenation of offsite carpet and couch and bed cleaning has the potential to increase this business to levels that far exceed current capacity. Additions such as tailoring and sneaker cleaning has shown will do well in terms of customer feedback.

This is a going concern and is being sold at a price far lower than what the business has actually been worth in years gone by. ROI could even be acheived in 12 months with right management and blueprint guidance from current owner who due to personal reasons is no longer to be part of the business.
