  1. Is it worth it?

    Hello everyone, my name is Jacob Sobotka, and I currently own a two machine pressure washing company name American Pressure Washing. I am looking to expand my company into the dairy industry washing milk barns (where they milk the cows) I was given the oppurtunity to buy an existing business that does strictly dairy industry. Now here is the part I need help with. The possible business I am looking at buying comes with a 1999 F-250 4X4 Powerstroke single cab with a flatbed and an aluminum covering over the flatbed housing the equipment. On the flatbed is a pretty neatly designed unit, a 3 cylinder Kubota diesel with two general pumps that have two remote clutches on them. Two seperate coils, reels and guns. The pressure washing motor has 6000 hours on it and the pumps about half that. Now the current owner has 8-9 customers per month and he is making anywhere from $2500 to $3500 per month depending on amount of work of course. Everything seems to be in very nice shape, both the pickup and washer run great and have plenty of power. The truck alone Kelly Blue Book runs about $10,000 and the equipment, well I dont have a clue. Now heres the catch, he wants $25,000 for the pickup, customers, and of course the pressure washer(s). Now my question, as men of expertise in the pressure washing industry, is this setup and customers worth the $25K? Thank you for all of your time and dedication, Jacob Sobotka American Pressure Washing

    Rick, I view this purchase as an open door into the dairy industry, I currently do only commercial and residential, and everyone knows APW for doing just that, not servicing the dairy industry. To me this is an oppurtunity to overtake one competitor and his name and slowly make it known that I run the operation. Jacob

    The current customers are bound to no contract what so ever, the company is owner operated, and the "makes" is gross profit

    I started my pressure washing company two years ago when I turned 17, I have made a pretty good name for myself and am doing pretty well two years later. Jacob Sobotka American Pressure Washing
