More About The Business:

This is a remarkable business operating for a few months a year and only a small number of days in each of these months (approximately hours spent driving to jobs, maintaining equipment, loading truck and working on sports fields total annual 486 Hours – about 48 days in total.) The season starts last week of August and is finished before Christmas.

They have specialised equipment and charge per hectare with a minimum fee and travelling time included in the pricing. All equipment is checked and serviced before each job to ensure nothing goes wrong during the job.

There is potential for turnover of more than a million dollars per annum, but these owners have a family and another business interest and the travelling and staying away for a few days at a time no longer suit the owner.

The special equipment does the work in half the time and at a very competitive cost as opposed to other services out there. Plant and equipment valued at $170,000
