Business Ownership Opportunity
In one of the fastest growing States………..
Tired of the COLD…. Come to Florida.
Tired of the grind to pay the bills…. Get into a REPEAT
business.
Tired of the “MAN” belittling your capabilities…. Walk into a
new life.
Having money in your pocket, money in your checking account,
money under the mattress allows you to sleep better at night, and wake up to a
future every day.
An ongoing REPEAT REPAIR business in the “Electrical”
Arena.
Ever hear this….. “Knowledge is Power” ? Even a little bit of knowledge backed by will
and determination and an “inner want for more in life” makes the future still
available in 2023 and beyond to you…… if
you want it.
….. at a price you can afford!
This business is ideal for the mechanically inclined man or
woman who has been looking for a way to get out from being controlled by “the
MAN”.
There is no ideal age group that you need to be a part
of. If you are a hands-on type of
individual who enjoys being around people, talking to people, helping people
and making money doing it, then this may be the business you have been looking
for.
My business is done from the desk in my home office, from my Cargo
van taking me from people’s homes around a four county area doing repairs on specialized home equipment… equipment found in 40% (+/-) of the homes
within 25 miles of my home base located on the East Coast of Florida where
growth in housing is the talk of the State.
Note that most people who come to
Florida no longer want to do their own repairs even if they know how to.
You have seen the newspapers, heard it on Television, seen it on the advertising in your mailbox, in your Emails
almost every day. Florida is probably
the “growingest” State in the United States. They come to Florida for the good life.
When I came to Florida over 13 years ago I was looking for a
way to build an income, buy a home, work about 40 hours per week, have weekends
to myself and family, enjoy the “water” and visit the state I chose to live in.
At 58 years old I was looking for work that I could do by
myself doing service type work for others and yet not be in a rat race. Service work simply means that you are paid
for your time and effort. That type of service work should be somewhat specialized and in
demand. The fewer people doing a specialized type of work you are
willing and able to do, the busier you stay and you make an income at a higher
level.
As in any industry there are levels of ability from the
simpler easier jobs to highly skilled troubleshooting and diagnostics jobs. You can choose the level of service you want
to do depending on the industry and your interests.
In my industry of choice there are levels of work you can
do. Here are a few.
Maintenance, simple repairs, troubleshooting problems,
diagnostics, and installations.
And by the way, what industry are we about to expand
upon? I am about to clue you into the
Home Generator business. Depending upon
your abilities you can build your income and more entirely around servicing the
Home Standby Generator Market.
My business
is for sale today!
It took me
3 years to at the beginning when I came to Florida to build this business. Today you can take over my fully functioning,
repeat business of servicing Generators from DAY 1. Let me continue ……..
Let me break this down into various levels of service or work
based on the home standby generator.
These “levels” are not industry named areas of work around
the home standby generator. They are my own ideas based on a decade of working
within this industry.
Level 1 would be considered the beginning and a necessary part of the
income generation.
Maintenance
is required on all generators. Whether
they are portables, air cooled or liquid cooled generators, it must be done and I recommend on a
yearly basis repeated yearly.
Maintenance includes changing of spark plugs, changing the oil and oil filter,
changing the air cleaner, checking on the battery and replacing if necessary,
cleaning the case and waxing the outer shell. Simple but necessary. Clearly, a portable requires
less effort than a liquid cooled generator and pays a little less. A ball park idea as to your
income for this work consider the following. A Portable needs a spark plug, 1 quart of oil
with an oil filter and an air cleaner.
You would need paper towels, an oil pan for collecting the old oil, a
cleaning solution to prepare the case for a simple spray wax application. The whole job would take about 1.5
hours. Your cost for parts including the
spark plug, oil, filters, cleaning solution and spray wax would be about
$12.00. Your invoice would be around $150.
Good deal.
An Air
cooled STANDBY generator (also misnamed as a Whole House Generator) requires 2
spark plugs, 2 quarts of oil, an oil filter and air cleaner, more cleaning
solution and more spray wax. It would take approximately 2 hours to complete
this size generator but the Transfer Switch must also be tested as your client
wants to know that when you are done the “System, as a Whole” works as it
should. Additional cost to you and a larger invoice to the client. Your invoice would be around $300.
A liquid
cooled STANDBY generator usually is powered by a small to medium sized
“automotive engine”. Added
cost to you… 4 plugs, 5 quarts of oil, filters, cleaning solution, more wax,
more labor. The result is more
money in your invoice. Your invoice
would be around $350.
The first 5
years of building this business was mostly LEVEL ONE type work .Currently, my
business services over 350 clients (yearly) who own Home Standby Generators
that must be serviced yearly; a REPEAT
BUSINESS year after year.
If you
purchase my business and simply keep it as a LEVEL ONE type business, a REPEAT LEVEL ONE BUSINESS, you would
have a stress free ongoing income year after year for the next 30+ years.
No employees, very little overhead, a cargo van to protect
equipment and consumables PERIOD.
Easy going and no pressure and with an income, working by
yourself pocketing all the income with no office assistant, no office space,
just a small cargo van for your tools and supplies.
What about the investment?
I took me 13 years to build a REPEAT business and a CUSTOMER LISTING of
over 600 clients and another 600 potential customers who receive very direct post
card advertising several times per year reminding them that we are around ready,
willing and able to
service their generator also. All of my
customers and potential customers for a fact have a generator waiting to be
serviced. The only way that this
customer list was built was by my seeing each and every one of those Standby
Generators with my own eyes. This is a
real list. What is the investment you ask?
$150,000.
In Florida, advertising by newsprint, television, radio, internet, knocking on doors is through the roof. You could easily spend $250,000 in one year on this type of advertising and get 10 new customers. If you watch tv or listen to radio or use the internet probably 70% of the advertising is done by lawyers. Wow !
Level 2 would be considered the next step and an important part of solid income
generation.
Level 2 is
where I include Troubleshooting and Diagnostics.
Most auto
mechanics of yesteryear (1950 through 2000) will tell you that it takes 2
things to make a combustion engine run.
Spark and fuel. We have simple
tools for testing spark and fuel. It is relatively easy to learn
this type level of testing. Add a great
teacher and LEVEL TWO is a breeze to learn.
If you are a
serious person looking for a solid future income in a simple specialized field
of work, you should appreciate that the more knowledge you have, the stronger
your REPEAT business is. To be “in demand” you would build your knowledge in
simple small engine understanding as to function and how small engines
work. Add a great teacher and you too
can diagnose and troubleshoot a small engine.
Level 3 would be considered the next step in truly knowing all about
generators, the why and how of generation of electricity for the home and small
business
Level 3 is where you become the
guru to your client. It’s one thing to change out spark plugs and check to see
if you have fuel in the tank. It’s quite
another to know WHY the spark plugs are not firing and even if there is fuel in
the tank, WHY is it not getting to the “carburetor”? Add a hands-on teaching book, experience by
doing, add a great teacher, become certified by the leading generator
manufacturer by attending their 2, 3 and 5 day classes where you get the
theory, hands-on experience right in the class room alongside other students
wanting to know more about their field to become the a REAL CERTIFIED FIELD
TECHNICIAN in your community.
Even in Level 3 you can select just
how proficient you choose to become.
What’s the investment? It’s the
same $150,000 to begin with. Manufacture’s
classes cost about $200 per day and worth every penny. You can take one per year or you can schedule
yourself for 2 classes per year. You
should know that in order to keep up with the latest technology in generation,
you need the classroom time each year at this level. You still get to choose.
Level 4 would be considered the deciding whether you choose to GROW your
business with employees, heavy equipment, inventory and participating in a
franchise.
Level 4 is
for a someone who has big ideas like having 3 to 10
trucks with his name on them. Having 3 to 10 employees who do the work and
where you get to be “the MAN”. This is
where you must plan ahead for finding “MONEY” to back your level 4 plans. Is it possible? Absolutely. If you are a 35 to 55 year old and you piss
fire and have access to money or have made a ton of money through using the
previous levels identified earlier….. GO FOR IT !
If Level 4, considered to be INSTALLATIONS and REPLACEMENTS,
is where you want to be at this time in your career then you should know that
my CLIENT LIST aka Customer List has better than 600 names and addresses of
clients with OLD and TIRED Standby Generators.
Imagine a DIRECT CONTACT LETTER CAMPAIGN that would cost you about $1.10
per piece delivered, putting your name in their mind that it’s time to consider
replacing their electrical and air conditioning source of energy to keep them
watching TV, and cool while they sleep even if Florida Power messes the bed.
The world becomes YOUR OYSTER !
Remember this……………..
It all starts at the beginning. You need an income and buying my business
puts an income in your pocket and bank account almost on DAY ONE.
$150,000 ! WOW !
There are banks, investors, family members, small business
groups, friends soon to be partners, government small
business programs and other lending institutions around every corner. My business broker Jeff Haire can help you
navigate those waters.
