Businesses for Sale

We have been helping to create efficient business models for 36 years and during this time we have reached the conclusion that the most efficiently operating business as well as the most profitable and fun is one that you work "on" rather than "in".

Let me explain.

I was raised on a farm in Ontario and thought I knew something about farming. As a new business coach in Alberta I obtained a farm client. They did what is referred to as dryland farming as they did not use irrigation. They have much less rain than Ontario does so it takes a different skill set. I had no skills in this type of farming to draw on, but my job was only to make it more efficient, so I interviewed the successful farmers in the area. What I saw was that they spent more time planning and organizing than actually doing the physical work.

They worked "on" their business rather than "in" it. They had a plan and carried it out rather than "buying themselves a job".

Now there is nothing wrong with buying a job if that is what you want, however most people start their own business for loftier reasons. They want to, and expect to, create a legacy and to create the life to enjoy that legacy.

These businesses have the systems and procedures in place.

The current owner is, for various reasons, ready to move on - some to retirement, some in other directions. They have created the processes required to grow these businesses to the next level of greatness.

We have the plan if you have the desire!

If you wish to leave a legacy, check out these opportunities!

In each case, we have created a "Turn-Key" operation that will be at least as efficient as a franchise but without the fees and with an existing clientele. There is cash flow now to relieve some of the associated stresses of a new business.

You will be well trained at the start and coached to success as you build on the solid foundation provided. These business have successfully passed the critical 10 year mark.

"Studies show that 80% of all new business started will close during their first 5 years and of the remaining 20% - 80% of them will close during the next five years. "Harvard Business Review"

They go on to show the statistic for the over 10 year business and very few of them do close. In fact that is when the greater profit is made!

You can start at that point.
