Potential
Strong potential to grow revenue by increasing field staff and accepting more of the enquiries currently being declined. Paid Google advertising is presently switched off due to workload, yet new enquiries continue. Further opportunity exists through additional crews, expanded real estate/body corporate relationships and reactivating paid advertising.
Skills
Best suited to an experienced painter/trade operator or existing painting business. Current owner can provide substantial handover, including quoting, pricing, job planning, supplier/customer introductions and operational knowledge. Existing field team and administration systems provide a strong platform for transition.
Hours
Flexible owner hours. Current owner focuses mainly on quoting, management and selected on-site work.
Lease
No commercial premises lease. Rented storage unit approx. $490/month incl. GST; buyer may retain or relocate.
Employees
Established field team currently includes an experienced leading hand/painter, additional painter and regular subcontractor. Owner and admin support also involved, with handover available.
Reason for Sale
Owners are seeking a lifestyle change and reduced workload, with the possibility of relocating in the future. The business is performing strongly and the decision to sell is lifestyle-driven. The owner is willing to remain for an agreed handover period to assist with a smooth transition.
About the Business
Established Sunshine Coast painting business with a strong reputation, experienced field team and consistent flow of residential and property-management work.
FY2025/26 revenue exceeded $1 million (subject to accountant finalisation), with approximately $117,000 of currently identified accepted future work. The business is presently booked well ahead and regularly turns away or defers enquiries due to available capacity.
Importantly, paid Google advertising has been switched off due to the existing workload, while organic web, phone and referral enquiries continue.
The business has built an exceptional online reputation based on quality workmanship, communication and customer service. Customers regularly advise that the strength and quality of the business's reviews influenced their decision to enquire.
Work includes residential internal and external repaints, real estate/property management work, body corporate and selected small commercial projects. Established relationships exist with multiple real estate/property management contacts.
The sale includes the established trading business and brand, website/domain, business email and phone contact, digital presence/social media, customer and supplier relationships, agreed work vehicles, extensive painting and preparation equipment, systems and other agreed business assets.
The business operates with relatively low fixed overheads and does not require a commercial premises. A rented storage facility is currently used and may be retained or replaced by the purchaser.
Quoting, invoicing, payroll and administration are operated through Xero, with Google Calendar used for scheduling. Established job procedures, checklists and operational documents are also available.
An experienced field team is in place, providing a purchaser with existing operational capability rather than needing to establish a workforce from scratch.
The current owner is prepared to provide a substantial handover of up to approximately 3–4 months by agreement, including quoting, pricing, job planning, supplier and customer introductions and operational knowledge. Administrative handover is also available.
This opportunity would suit an experienced painter wanting to acquire an established operation, an existing painting company seeking to expand on the Sunshine Coast, or a trade-business operator seeking an established brand with significant growth potential.
Further financial and operational information is available to genuine purchasers following confidentiality arrangements.
History
Established approximately three years ago, the business has grown rapidly through reputation, repeat/referral work, online presence and relationships with local real estate/property management clients. It has developed into a $1m+ revenue operation with an established team and strong forward workload.
