Item description

Nationwide business for sale, currently getting 120 sales per month, generating a profit of about £6,000 per month. (£70,000 per year after all costs+) This figure is with Google PPC SWITCHED OFF.

We are the biggest nationwide skip hire business in the UK. We dominate the first page of Google for every town in the UK. Most local skip hire businesses do not own a website, they are very old school tradesmen that don’t understand online marketing or how to utilise the internet. That’s where we come in. This business captures that gap in the market and it works extremely well. Our skip partners like taking orders from us, as it gives them extra sales and we negotiate the best prices in return.
No ownership of skips or trucks required, we are simply a middleman.
Includes 100 fully designed websites in each major UK town with unique designs for each website.
Includes 100 Local VOIP phone numbers linking to an Auto Attendant phone answering system, Eg "press 1 for skip hire, 2 for collections and 3 for sales and marketing calls", this auto attendant system maximises sales at no extra monthly cost.
Includes 200 pre marketed UK town locations, meaning all 100 locations have been marketed to over 65+ local and nationwide directories. The 100 VOIP phone numbers are advertised in over 13,000 directories online and offline. Many are already listed in local free listings such as Yellow Pages, BT Phone book, 118 and many others.
Includes a separate nationwide skip hire website which also includes 100 sub link locations, this creates a double free first page listing on Google for each UK town
Includes any Google PPC data we have to help you increase sales
Includes details on all previous customers and all marketing spread sheets indicating where and how we advertise online.
Some websites are included in the Google 7 Pack results, meaning we are listed on Google in 3 separate locations on the first page of Google on most towns.
Each domain comes to the first page of Google, If you run PPC you come up twice, if you get listed on the 7 pack you come up 3 times, thus why its useful to be advertised in Yellow Pages and other offline directories which we have done already.
Each website is uniquely key worded, each with its own hosting and own domain with hidden WHOIS so google cannot know all 100 websites are owned by one person, each domain has been painstakingly designed differently so none of the wording or pictures are the same
Each website comes with 2 or 3 unique email addresses which all link to a master account
All passwords, logins, Hosting accounts and FTP logins will be given to you and we will show you to set up and use LastPass.com to make your life easy with one click login.
All websites are hosted on FREE servers so running costs are low. Domain renewals are about £3 to £5 per domain per year, Transfer of domains are simple via GoDaddy.com. Most, if not all domains have recently been renewed so no immediate costs in renewing domains.
Vonage.co.uk hosts all the VOIP numbers; cost are £2 or £3 per phone number per month, this running cost is very minimal at £300-£350 per month it ensures each website has a local number for that local town.
Includes a database of over 1,000 local skip hire competitors prices in one excel database sorted by post code, it lists their prices and our marked up prices to give to customers over the phone. A simple post code search finds the correct price to give in seconds.



This Skip hire business has been totally optimised, automated and only the best SEO has been used for all websites to ensure maximum returns. No actual work is needed in the upkeep of the websites or the marketing, however this is room for improvement. You could run the business yourself or you would make a lot more money expanding the business IF…



1: You employ dedicated staff members working 8am till 4pm Monday to Friday,

2: You utilise Google Pay Per Click and also other PPC search engines like Yahoo and Facebook,

3: You run Paid Adverts in Yellow Pages not just free listings, this will get more customers,

4: Employ an SEO person ‘outsourced in Philippines’ for £3 per day to boost online marketing.



I'm selling this business for a number of reasons, for one I'm going through a divorce so I need to raise money to pay off the ex-wife. Two I no longer live in the UK to be hands on with this business. Three, I have many other businesses in Asia which keep me occupied, and finally I lost my best member of staff who was answering the calls and right now I have a part time fill in to cover the calls and skip collections so I don’t have the ability to fly back to the UK and train new staff.

The person who takes over this business will need to either work the business themselves or train a new member of staff to deal with the enquiries. You will also need to get your own merchant account to take credit cards over the phone, Paypal is also an option but we recommend a credit card merchant account as they are reliable and you get paid 3 days in arrears, you will need at least £4,000 cash float to pay for the skip orders you get from day 1 as the merchant account will pay you 3 days later, so your always earning 3 days behind but it catches up fast as you get more orders. This is a low risk business so there is no rolling reserve.

With the right staff you can make between £50,000 to £100,000+ per year hands free without doing much work once you get the right staff in place, This business can be re-located anywhere in the UK or even abroad as VOIP phone numbers can be re-directed to any location worldwide. However its better being run from the UK as its better if UK staff answer calls for better quality customer service.

The price for this business will include all of the above and some assistance for a couple of weeks to get you on your feet. I am open to any reasonable offers, please email me if you have any questions

Thank You

Mark
