Expenses incurred are for truck expense (fuel and repairs), rental of a yard if required, property taxes on equipment, insurance, telephone and office expenses, etc. This is a part-time business, no added payroll required. The current set up is that the business is a satellite of a larger business of the owner run on his existing premises.Total price of the business is $175,000 cash and includes a flat-bed truck with about 15,000 miles on it plus 25 metal storage containers. Another 25 storage containers will be retained by the owner and sold to the purchaser at $4,000 each on an as-needed basis as the business grows. It would obviously be an advantage if the purchaser has a large personal or business facility where the equipment can be stored without renting additional space. ]]> </description><pubDate>3/21/2010</pubDate><listingPrice>175000.0000</listingPrice><downPayment>175000.0000</downPayment><grossRevenues>50000.0000</grossRevenues><discretionaryEarnings>40000.0000</discretionaryEarnings><locationGeneral>Southern Connecticut</locationGeneral></item><item><title><![CDATA[ Novel Real Estate Website ]]> </title><link>http://vrbusinessbrokers.com/Listing/Novel-Real-Estate-Website.aspx</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://vrbusinessbrokers.com/Listing/Novel-Real-Estate-Website.aspx</guid><description><![CDATA[ Unique web platform gearedto linkingreal estate buyers and real estate professionals across the country.
