well guys. Due to health issues I am planning to hang up the tools and go to work for a friends computer firm (yes I am qualified!) . The money wont be as good and it is a risk but I am starting to struggle with some jobs and either need an apprentice (not going this route) or to get out while I still have reasonable health (got bad tendonitis in both elbows and standard other stuff like plumbers knees etc!).
So my question. Is the business I built up over the last 6 years or so worth anything? We have an established customer base and on the books (potential for more!) make 25k per year net profit (wages).
I have two choices, either turn my phone off or leave a referral answerphone message or try and sell as a going concern which I would much rather do after putting so much effort into the business.
There are new job calls most days, some large some small but I have lost interest the last 12 months or so and the name is well established in my area (Sheffield) and could do much more business if people were pushing for it as I turn away a lot of jobs due to the aforementioned health problems.
I have a professional website that brings in some calls and an established profile on checkatrade .
Any advice appreciated chaps!
