SOLD - Domestic & Commercial Cleaning services

DOMESTIC AND COMMERCIAL CLEANING SERVICES BUSINESS  - West Yorkshire Based.

20 year established, home-based business with an excellent reputation and long standing client list. Easy to run and with very few overheads, the business is very affordably priced and offers a good base of loyal customers from which to build and expand the business. Enterprising new owners can promote the services better, something the current owner has not felt the need to do, using Social Media and traditional advertising such as flyers and mailshot. Loyal and dependable staff are in place, assisting the owner with domestic cleaning, end of tenancy cleans, builders cleans and office cleaning services. Currently, the teams service clients within a three mile radius of east Bradford, but the catchment area could be enlarged to cover nearby Leeds commuter suburbs. The business has been operated to suit the owner of late, as they move toward a well-earned retirement. Sales turnover has been purposely kept below the VAT threshold, despite strong demand for their services. The sale of the business includes an excellent internet domain name. This would be a perfect first venture for an ambitious new prospective business owner. EPC Exempt. Ref: 590326
