This business has been sold!

This franchise that operates in Palmerston North and Feilding is a great little earner with the potential to do heaps better. The current owner wishes to retire after almost 20 years with the best franchise company in New Zealand.

Asking price is $17,000 for 63 lawn clients, excluding gear.

The operator currently works four (4) days per week at about 28-30 hours. There’s heaps of potential to increase income by working at least another day per week, and there’s a lot of new enquiries coming through from Crewcut by text all the time. While the current income is already good, it can be even higher with a motivated and hardworking new owner.

Toyota Hiace - Additional $5,500

On offer is a 1996 Toyota Hiace flat deck dropside truck running on a 2.8-litre diesel engine (non-turbo) with 258,000 km on the speedometer. The truck is sign written and is in a nice condition for its age. The current owner is the only NZ owner of the vehicle bought in 2002. The motor has been looked after and starts and runs great. A new radiator, starter motor, alternator, glow plugs, have been installed within the last two years.

Walker Ride-On Mower - Additional $12,000

Also for sale is a December 2006 Walker ride-on mower that has clocked in 2680 hours currently. It has a 42-inch catching only deck, with an upsized clippings bin on the rear. A brand new 22.5 horsepower carburettor motor was installed in November 2019 valued at $5,500 and with 2500 hrs. New gearboxes on deck were installed two years ago ($3,000), plus a reconditioned 10.5-inch blower on March 2020 and a second spare blower as well. The mower is in a really good condition but some paint is a bit worn in places. On average, it gets used about 200 hours a year and is not used on rough jobs. A brand new equivalent is close to $30,000, so this is already a great deal.

Honda Self-Propelled Rotary Mower - Additional $1,300

Lastly, a Honda self-propelled 21-inch mower purchased in August 2019 for $1,750 at the Stihl shop in Palmerston North. It is equipped with a Lexan body and a 190cc Honda engine. It has been hardly used since it was bought, just 3 lawns per fortnight.
