Summary
Take over a fully established, "business-in-a-box" startup specializing in Test & Tag and Calibration across Electrical, Mechanical, Thermal, and Acoustic fields.
Potential
Huge growth potential in WA’s mining, construction, and medical sectors. The ISO 9001 accreditation provides a massive head start for tendering. Since the current owners have focused on technical setup rather than sales, a buyer with time for marketing and "door-to-door" visits can capture significant market share. The service model is high-margin and repeatable, with the ability to expand into on-site calibration vans or a dedicated laboratory space.
Skills
Technical background in engineering or electrical trades is preferred but not essential, as full training is provided. Key skills include attention to detail for precise measurements, basic mechanical/electrical aptitude, and a commitment to maintaining ISO standards. Strong interpersonal skills are required for the business development and client relationship management needed to grow the existing foundation.
Hours
Currently flexible/Part-time. Perfect for an owner-operator to transition into Full-time (38+ hours) to drive growth.
Lease
N/A - Home-based. The business is fully relocatable to your home garage, small warehouse, or office space in Perth.
Employees
Currently operated by the owners. No staff included, offering the buyer a clean slate to hire or run as a solo operator.
Reason for Sale
The current owners are engineers working full-time and have found they cannot commit the necessary time to marketing, business development, and door-to-door client visits. Having spent the last year building a high-quality technical foundation and securing ISO 9001 certification, the owners have decided to pass the business to someone who can give it the full-time focus it deserves to reach its true potential.
About the Business
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a professionally established engineering service startup in Perth, specialising in the high-demand fields of Test & Tag and Calibration. Covering Electrical, Mechanical, Thermal, and Acoustic equipment, the business is a "turn-key" solution for anyone looking to enter the technical services industry or an existing firm seeking to expand their capabilities.
Key Features & Assets:
ISO 9001 Certification: This is the crown jewel of the sale. Achieving this accreditation is an expensive and time-consuming process. It provides immediate credibility and allows the business to bid for mining, government, and corporate contracts that uncertified competitors cannot access.
Full Service Capabilities: Equipped to handle a diverse range of calibration needs, reducing the need for clients to use multiple vendors.
Ready-to-Go Infrastructure: Includes a professional website and established digital platforms for business growth.
Home-Based with Low Overheads: Currently operated from home, providing maximum flexibility and minimal running costs. It is fully relocatable to any space suitable for equipment management.
Full Asset Inclusion: The $85,000 price includes all specialised testing and calibration equipment, and branding. Potential growth for medical device test and tag and calibration as well.
History
Started one year ago, the business was built with a "quality-first" approach. While the owners have focused on the technical setup and compliance, the lack of active marketing means there is significant "untapped" traction. The hard work of the setup phase often the biggest barrier to entry is already complete.
