Mobile Tool Business - profitable tool truck route
Business Description
This is a mobile "Tool Truck" business. This is an independently owned company. This is not a franchise, distributorship, or dealership. This business operates in a similar fashion to flagship companies like MATCO, Snap-On, MAC, or Cornwell.
As an independent model you are able to source tool inventory from multiple suppliers allowing you to sell tools and equipment under the true manufacturers brand name. Being independent allows you to obtain lower overhead and avoid franchise and other ongoing fees. Additionally, being an independent allows complete control over the product line and no contractual territory restrictions limiting your potential.
Previous tool or mechanical knowledge is not a necessity. People from many different backgrounds have found success in the Mobile Tool Business. The most suitable candidate for this opportunity will be a reliable, motivated self-starter, regardless of industry knowledge. The list price includes a custom truck, an anticipated $60,000 inventory at current cost, an estimated $30,000 in active accounts receivable, and more.
This is a profitable, legitimate opportunity. It is a great fit for a full time or part time sole proprietor or family. It's a scalable business that could be great for a retiree. At the same time there is a solid foundation here for someone looking to establish a larger presence with multiple trucks. The owner has progressively built this business to a manageable part time level. Spending about 25 hours per week running the current route has provided some lucrative part time income for the owner. The current operation has recognized a net profit every month for the past 39 months.
The new owner will experience immediate cash flow and could recognize a profit the very first month in business. There are numerous ways to approach the existing business model. There are some easy paths to substantial growth for both the short and long-term objective. There is also some fine tuning that can be done for someone who wants to maintain the current level of operation. Based on the business's own statistics the owner has already prepared an expansion plan that encompasses his goals and next steps for a twelve-to-eighteen-month period. A summary of those plans along with other ideas will be shared with a serious, qualified, buyer.
A primary concern of the seller is that a smooth transition of this business occurs without disruption to the locations and customers it serves. The owner is looking for someone who is a good match to continue this business. For further discovery and discussion download the attached documents.
