About this opportunity
An opportunity to acquire an established home-services operation with an experienced workforce, a broad customer base and a strong foundation for continued growth.
Business Story
This established North Queensland home-services business provides a range of recurring and complementary services to a diversified customer base.
Over time, the owners have developed the operation beyond a traditional small owner-operated service business, creating an established workforce, recurring customer relationships and the systems required to coordinate service delivery across a substantial client base.
A key strength of the opportunity is the existing operating platform. An incoming purchaser is not starting from scratch. The business has already developed its customer relationships, staffing structure, service processes, contractor network and local market presence.
The customer base includes a mixture of recurring, repeat, private and commercial service work, together with services provided across the NDIS, DVA and aged-care sectors. The business is NDIS registered and has established relationships and service arrangements within these markets, providing an incoming purchaser with access to valuable recurring and referral-based sources of work.
This diversified customer base reduces reliance on any one customer, contract or source of income and provides an established platform from which a purchaser can continue to develop the business across both private and funded-service markets.
Service delivery is supported by an established casual workforce, allowing the business to manage a significant volume of work without relying solely on the owners to personally perform services.
The business also works with external contractors across complementary service categories. This broadens the services that can be offered to customers while maintaining flexibility within the operating model.
Administration is currently undertaken from a home-based environment, reducing the need for dedicated commercial premises and helping to maintain a relatively lean fixed-overhead structure.
For an experienced owner-manager, the opportunity provides the ability to step into an established operation with customers, people and systems already in place.
The business may also be particularly attractive to an existing cleaning, home-services, facilities, property-services or complementary service operator seeking additional scale. A strategic purchaser may identify opportunities to integrate administration and management, improve workforce utilisation, introduce additional services and expand its presence within North Queensland.
Further growth opportunities may exist through increased marketing, stronger referral networks, additional complementary services and broader geographic coverage.
The sellers are now offering the business at $295,000 plus $149,000 for the vehicles and are seeking a suitable purchaser to continue the operation and build on the foundation already established.
Detailed information regarding the business identity, customer mix, financial performance, staffing structure and operating model will be made available to qualified purchasers following completion of the confidentiality process.

Phil started his working career in purchasing with large and multi-national companies in Sydney.
A family relocation to Bowen in 1974 was the catalyst to owning his own business.
Phil has been in various businesses from Pest Control to Delicatessen/Takeaway and has for the last 39 years built a wholesale business that has served Bowen, Whitsundays, Mackay and the Coalfields, from 1 truck and himself to 6 trucks and 15 employees.
This has given Phil a very solid knowledge of the area from Bowen to Rockhampton and what it takes to thrive in business there.
Phil has a strong knowledge of business and business practices built through the process of growing his own business as well as time spent on State Franchise Council and dealing with the many changing government policies in those 39 years.
The process of selling his own business has shown Phil the real need for a locally based business broker, easily contacted and heavily focused on the Central Queensland area, which has led to his involvement in CQ Business Brokers.
