Business Description

• Nets $100k to working owners
• Well established
• Plenty of growth potential
• Top location
• Easy business to learn
• Non-franchise
• Training provided

This well established, easy to run, ‘non-franchise business' is highly visible and situated on a busy road with convenient customer parking. A solid business with great buying power, it retails an extensive product range, without the franchise costs usually associated with such an operation. The store carries out repairs on most pool equipment and retails all things necessary to operate successfully, including pool chemicals, pumps and filters, cleaning equipment, replacement parts and associated products for most applications. The business also includes a late model service vehicle, which is used to carry out regular maintenance programs on pools & spas in the area.

Due to the inaccuracy of the pure logic of computers, (which doesn't allow for the multitude of variables and individual characteristics of each individual pool/owner), the business deploys conventional methods of water analysis, rather than computerised analysis. This represents a cost saving to clients as it eliminates excess use of chemicals, and allows for better results. The business's mission statement has always been ‘Pools are for pleasure, not problems', the current owners uphold this personalised pool maintenance approach, both in store or on-site, which has led to the development of a loyal client base. The business also has a database of over 2000 pool and spa owners in the area.

Well known & centrally located, this business is positioned as ‘the complete swimming pool solution provider' and possesses a large percentage of repeat clients. With consistent turnover and market share, it's ideal for the husband and wife team who wish to work together and build a business for the future. The business's products and services are always in demand even in the harder economic times as people need to maintain their pools and spas regardless. Positioned by ‘personalised service and expert advice', this privately owned business is not a franchise so there's no franchise fees! Yet it still has great buying power and remains competitive.

New housing developments continue to take place within the service area, which signals future growth potential for the business. Growth can also be seen through the increase of advertising & promotional activities which highlight the ‘unique customer service characteristics' of the business, and that directly targets private pool owners who require ‘on-site servicing', along with real estate management agencies and body corps.

The business includes a large chlorine storage tank, and associated plant & equipment which are well maintained and fully functional. This is an opportunity for those who wish to take advantage of the current owner's hard work and seek to acquire a well established business in a growth area of SE Qld. No formal qualifications are necessary here, experienced staff are in place and the current owner will provide one month's training to ensure a smooth transition for the new owner. Owner is retiring after 35 years in the industry.
