Selling Window Cleaning biz, need help

[GravyBoat]

Gents and ladies,

A friend and I have another friend that has a window cleaning business with a massive client base. He has been doing this for almost 20 years. He works 7 days a week, and he's getting burnt out. He is semi old school, so he came to us in hopes that we could help him sell his window cleaning business.

He has a handfull of 1099 contractors, but no real employees.

He has a van or two, equipment.

He has a ton of accounts with re-occurring services (he does lots of stuff, but mainly window cleaning)

We realize that the main value is in the client base. Our current idea is to call up every window cleaning business in the vicinity and see if they want to buy it.

Our issues are, we don't know how much to value it at. We need alot more information before hitting them up.

Do you have any advice for us?

Thanks in advance

Gravy
