Summary
Rare chance to own a thriving, essential service with government-backed recurring income. Est. 1986, low churn, high margins, and big growth upside across South East NSW. Enquire now.
Potential
Unlock exponential growth in an essential, high-barrier industry with built-in demand. Scale rapidly by acquiring smaller AWTS service providers or expanding pump-out services with local marketing. Bring plumbing, electrical, and excavation in-house to increase margins and streamline operations. With thousands of systems needing quarterly servicing under law, this business offers secure, scalable income with unmatched longevity and minimal competition. A rare chance to dominate a niche market.
Skills
You don’t need wastewater experience—just strong business acumen, operational oversight, and people management skills. The current owner will provide full training and support to ensure a smooth transition. If you’re process-driven, comfortable with systems like Xero or SimPRO, and eager to grow a compliant, high-margin business with a loyal client base, this opportunity is ideal. Technical tasks are handled by trained staff and contractors, so you can focus on strategy and growth.
Hours
Operate weekdays with flexibility. Hands-on or semi-passive—delegate work to staff and focus on business expansion.
Lease
Yard, office & workshop lease available at $35K/year, or relocate within service region. Low overheads, not retail-based
Employees
Run by a loyal, experienced team with minimal supervision. Long-term technicians and admin staff are supported by skilled contractors. The structure allows you to step in smoothly or operate semi-remotely while focusing on growth opportunities.
Reason for Sale
After decades of steady growth and success, the owner is retiring to focus on family as their daughter finishes high school. This is a genuine lifestyle change—not performance-related. The business remains highly profitable, systemised, and positioned for expansion. A full handover and comprehensive training will be provided, allowing the incoming owner to hit the ground running with minimal disruption and total confidence.
About the Business
This is your chance to own a well-established, essential service business with steady, government-backed income and long-standing customer relationships.
BluenGrey Water & Septic Solutions has been trusted by families, businesses, and councils across South East NSW since 1986. The business specialises in Aerated Wastewater Treatment Systems (AWTS) and septic systems—critical infrastructure for properties not connected to town sewerage. These systems are legally required to be serviced every quarter, which means customers need the service and keep coming back. Better yet, most of these clients pre-pay annually, locking in reliable income.
Revenue doesn't stop at servicing. The business also earns from new system sales and installations, septic pump-outs, repairs, design, and product sales—creating multiple income streams and great cash flow.
Operations are smooth and highly systemised. With tools like Xero and SimPRO in place, you’ll have clear oversight of all customer jobs, histories, and team workflows. There’s no need for deep technical knowledge to step in. The team includes experienced staff and a network of reliable, specialised contractors who take care of the hands-on work.
Even during COVID, this essential service kept operating with very little disruption. This is a business that truly stands the test of time and economic uncertainty.
The current premises include a yard, office, and workshop—available for lease at $35,000 per year on a flexible 3-year term. Or, you can relocate the business within its current service area. There’s no need for a shopfront or foot traffic, making it a very flexible operation.
Customers love working with BluenGrey. One client said:
“From our initial conversations through to final installation, BluenGrey were very helpful in every respect... All in all, job well done with zero issues.”
The growth potential is exciting. You could:
Take on more servicing clients from smaller regional operators
Bring plumbing or excavation services in-house to increase margins
Market septic pump-outs more aggressively
Expand the team with a dedicated sales or service crew
Whether you want a hands-on operation or a business you can step back from over time, BluenGrey is ready to deliver.
With strong systems, loyal clients, and government-backed demand, this is a rare chance to take over a profitable, reputable business in an industry that truly matters.
