Property information

Real Estate:

Lease

Location:

Leased premises in a well located industrial park, close to major interstate transport links.

Other information

Expansion potential:

With an already well recognised brand in the market, an established referral network and a reputation for high customer service standards there is a strong base upon which to grow the business.

A more motivated and aggressive approach to marketing and growing the fleet should significantly improve an already very profitable result. Currently the business is under management with owner involvement only as required. The business would benefit from closer scrutiny and active management.

Barriers to entry are high because their target market is unable to be serviced by individual or small fleet owners; this business has both the infrastructure and fleet to handle the needs of its larger customers.

Competition / Market:

There is an impressive and growing client list with contracts in place with major customers. Target customers are large corporate groups – freight and logistics companies.

Support & training:

There will be appropriate assistance with the handover of the operations.

Reasons for selling:

Retirement
