Net Profit
$509,881 pa
Location Details
Deep South-West coastal Western Australia. Established regional centre with a port, a shire works program, and an ongoing building and rural trade.The location is the market, this is not a business you pick up and move to the city.
Potential
IS THERE REAL GROWTH?
Yes — and the vendor has left it on the table.
The book has been kept, not hunted. A wider materials list, an install offer the other yard already sells, and a simple online presence would all talk to customers who already stand at the gate. Regional building, rural work and port-side jobs are the demand story. Plant and people are already there.
The vendor does not run paid advertising. Demand arrives because the district has to build, and because this yard has been the number they call for sixty years.
Skills
Open to a practical working owner, a regional trade or transport group, or an existing materials business that wants a Deep South-West coastal depot. You do not need a special ticket to start. You do need to be present, to respect a booked delivery, and to keep the national principal comfortable with the transfer. The vendor will stay close for 6 to 12 months so the investment is secured. Suitable for an owner who will live in the district or for a group that will put a proper manager over a crew that already knows the runs.
Lease
FREEHOLD AVAILABLE — $4,100,000. Buy the premises with the business, or remain as a tenant of the family.
Reason for Sale
Retirement sale of a 60-year Deep South-West coastal supplier.
Working owner with a trained yard and delivery team already in the seats.
Can stay owner-operated, or be put under a manager with the existing crew.
About the Business
KEY POINTS
1. Major essential-product supplier to builders, the Shire, trades, farms and the port — work the district cannot pause.
2. Agency for a major national manufacturer already in place, with years still to run and a written option beyond that.
3. Circa 85% repeat business. Weekly and daily order rhythm. No advertising spend required to keep the book moving.
4. Two income lines already in the door — agency product through the national brand, plus the vendor’s own yard and cartage book.
5. Asset-backed sale. Working fleet of loaders, delivery plant and yard gear is in the price, not a later surprise.
6. Trained crew with long service. Operations and the office already run without the owner on every ticket.
7. Deep South-West coastal location — one of the few established yards serving a growing regional centre.
8. Freehold available at $4,100,000 on a large signed main-road site. Buy the business, the land, or both.
9. Growth left on the table: wider product range, a lay / install offer the competitor already sells, and simple marketing the vendors have never needed.
10. Retirement sale with six to twelve months of vendor guidance. Not a distressed sale.
