A fantastic and unique opportunity exists in the Furniture Removals and Storage industry, based in Sydney. Just 40 minutes from the City Centre.

This business is a family business and the owner currently oversees the day to day operations of the business as well as managing most aspects of the running of this business. The owner has just turned 62 and is getting to the age of retirement. There are no sons in the family to take on the business after the owners retirement therefore that is the reason for the sale of the business.

An overview of the revenue for the last three years: (These figures can be discussed with our Accountant)
2008 – 2009 $580,000
2009 – 2010 $1.07mil
2010 – 2011 $1.8mil

The company has a very well set up website that brings in a large number of customers. With the specialised database system, customers can request quotes through the internet, which then show up in our database system allowing our salesman to produce a formal quotation. The website has excellent information that is constantly updated. We currently receive over 250 leads a month from private customers requesting a quote. At times, we do our own google campaigns and we can train the new owners in this as well.

We have an industry based software system, called MOVEWARE. This is a fantastic software system designed by the Removals Industry. It allows our business to be more efficent and has a huge database connnected to a local server. Customers can also request a quote through our website and the information/request that they enter through our website is entered straight through to the software and we are sent an email showing a customer has requested a quote. All the details are in the database and the software allows our salesman to out a quotation together (along with an inventory) which automatically generates. The quotation can be emailed from this software. Operations use they software to produce daily diarys, waybills, delivery dockets, inventories.

We currently have an internal server connected to the office network of computers and printers. The software and database can be accessed remotely from anyone. We have 2 Brother black and white printers (MFC 8840D and MFC8460N)and they both print, scan, fax and copy. We have one HP Colour Printer (HP2600n). There are 8 computers, including, work station, monitor, keyboard, mouse. There are NO LEASES on any of the office equipment. There are 10 corporate office desks.

We specialise in container transporting. We transport container either by the rail or by linehaul. We have found it very effective to transport containers by rail and have an agent in another state deliver the goods. We have access to the rail system as well as container hire companies.

The company has a storage facility were we use modules and containers for storage.

We currently have four full time office staff, which includes; 1x International Manager, 2x fulltime salesman, 1x Admin and Accounts Manager, One Fulltime Owner who manages all the operations.
