About the Business
An incredibly rare opportunity to acquire a highly profitable (375k net profit F/Y 26) , ultra-lean equipment hire business for the Western Australian building and roofing sectors. Established in 1997, this business has a stellar 29-year trading history and operates as a highly automated, low-touch income stream.
Unlike traditional machinery hire, this business rents out a non-technical, high-demand product that generates passive revenue 24/7 with zero engine maintenance, mechanical breakdowns, or complex servicing requirements.
$120,000 plus Valuation in Plant & Equipment:
• Minimal Owner Hours working from a home office: The owner works just 5 to 10 hours per week in summer, and 10 to 15 hours per week in winter. Your role is administrative: taking booking texts/calls, scheduling runs, and approving invoices.
• Reliable, Trained Team: Operates with 2 casual part time staff members who handle 99% of the physical labor, deliveries, stock inspections, repairs, and day-to-day invoicing. Staff training takes only 1–2 days.
• Not Site-Specific: Can be seamlessly and easily relocated to any small yard, warehouse, or commercial garage across Perth without impacting the client base.
• High Repeat Business: 75% of orders are automated via text message from a deeply loyal, established database.
Customer Base & Revenue Stability:
• Diverse Risk Spread: Serves a broad mix of commercial builders (60%), roofing companies (20%), and owner-builders (19%).
• Zero Client Dependency: Highly protected revenue stream. The top three customers account for just 6.7%, 6.5%, and 3.6% of sales respectively, with the remainder spread thinly across hundreds of recurring clients.
• Immediate Growth Potential: Huge upside available by actively offering installation services (currently only 1% of sales), increasing the minimal $50/week Google ad spend,
• This is a perfect bolt-on for an existing Perth transport, scaffolding, or building hire company looking to absorb a high-margin asset fleet, or an investor seeking a proven, low-touch lifestyle business with 29 years of market goodwill.
• Price: $650,000 including plant and equipment
