RARE OPPORTUNITY TO SECURE AN FES ‘CLUSTER’ – NOT A FRANCHISE

The business for sale is a contract with Fire Equipment Services (FES), which involves servicing fire safety equipment such as extinguishers, hydrants, hose reels, emergency lights, and compliance testing for clients under Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV).

The current owner is selling the contract (called a ‘Cluster’) with FES due to retirement after 20 years of operation. FES contracts are not franchises. They are tightly held contracts that can only be sold when the current contractor wishes to exit.
