Internal Ref: LB599JF
Summary
Low-risk, low-hours essential commercial contractor in Perth’s booming north: seven-figure revenues, rising profits, 95% repeat clients, $0 advertising spend.
Revenue
$1,680,000 pa
Net Profit
$368,000 pa
Potential
This compliance‑critical contractor services schools, healthcare, childcare, aged care and other regulated sites where projects cannot open or stay accredited without its work. Revenue has grown from $1.48M to $1.68M with rising adjusted net profit and no advertising spend, with about 95% of sales from repeat and referral clients. A new owner can add targeted marketing, broaden services or expand the territory, but growth is optional as the core business is already stable and low risk.
Skills
No specific trade licence is required, as the owner works at management level rather than on the tools. Strong relationship skills, commercial acumen and basic comfort with plans, quoting and compliance are important. Experience in construction, facilities, fit‑out or project management would help but is not essential, as established systems, pricing tools and subcontract crews are already in place and a thorough handover will be provided.
Hours
Owner averages about 25 hours per week, focused on key clients, approvals and high‑level coordination.
Lease
Operates from an office/warehouse in Perth’s northern corridor; full lease details available to qualified buyers.
Employees
Team includes a full‑time administrator handling enquiries, quotes, scheduling and customer contact and a part‑time bookkeeper oversees accounts, and subcontract crews handle all on‑site work.
Reason for Sale
The owner has structured this as a low‑involvement, lifestyle‑friendly business and is now ready to move on to the next chapter, creating an opportunity for a new operator to step into an established, compliance‑critical contractor with strong systems, staff and repeat clients. A transition and thorough handover will be provided to support a smooth change of ownership.
About the Business
This essential commercial contractor provides specialised supply‑and‑install solutions to compliance‑driven environments such as schools, healthcare, childcare, aged care and other regulated facilities across Perth’s northern suburbs. Projects cannot open, remain compliant or continue trading without the services it delivers, so demand is driven by regulation and safety rather than optional upgrades. The result is consistent seven‑figure revenue and a long track record of strong profitability.
Over the last three years, sales have grown from $1.48M to $1.68M, with adjusted net profit rising from $269k to $368k, demonstrating not just higher activity but improved efficiency and margin. Approximately 95% of annual revenue is generated by repeat commercial and institutional clients and their referrals, and the business operates with an advertising budget of $0, dramatically reducing marketing risk and spend. Work is spread across multiple long‑standing accounts, avoiding reliance on any single “hero” client.
Operations are deliberately structured for low owner involvement. The current owner typically works around 25 hours per week, focusing on key relationships, approvals and light coordination rather than day‑to‑day tasks. A long‑term administrator/receptionist handles incoming enquiries, quoting and follow‑up, plan take‑offs, scheduling and customer communication. A junior warehouse/delivery assistant manages stock, order preparation and local site deliveries, while a part‑time bookkeeper oversees accounts payable and receivable and liaises with external accountants. Qualified subcontract installation crews complete all on‑site works, allowing the owner to remain at management level.
The business benefits from proven systems, structured pricing tools and standardised quoting and job‑management routines, so profitability does not depend on the owner’s personal know‑how. This creates a scalable, transferable platform that can be learned and run by a commercially minded buyer, even without a trade background. For buyers seeking strong, defensible income without 60‑hour weeks, it offers a rare combination of scale, profitability and lifestyle.
Growth is a choice rather than a requirement. A new owner can pursue more active marketing to commercial builders and facility managers, targeted digital campaigns to complement the repeat client base, or gradual expansion of service lines and geographic reach using the existing subcontract model.
History
The business has been operating for many years as a trusted specialist contractor to compliance‑driven sectors in Perth’s northern corridor, steadily building deep relationships with schools, healthcare providers, childcare centres, aged care and other regulated facilities. Its focus on essential, standards‑based work has produced a consistent record of seven‑figure revenue, strong profitability and high levels of repeat and referral business.
