I am the owner and CEO of an industrial sales company based in Australia. I design, manufacture and sell industrial vacuums into the Australian and international markets and have done so for the last 14 years.
I am wanting to sell the whole of the UK as a single license to reproduce what I do in Australia. This business can be operated from any location in the UK.
The vacuums are super easy to assemble and usually take just a few hours to assemble, pack and ship. The profit is ridiculous for the hours I put in. You can view actual sales from the last five years and I give you a breakdown of the cost, the profit, the hours worked and the hourly rate I am making.
In July of this year (2021), I worked 30 hours total over 36 days generating $28,430.52 of sales for a $19,334.00 profit. That is about $789 per day for less than an hour’s work each day and selling 18 products total. 10 products to one customer.
Please note in the UK the products will sell for almost double what they sell for in Australia so the above figures you can translate to GBP pounds.
This is all from my home office and shed. I used to operate from a factory but worked hard on downsizing the business and making it a true home-based system that now gives me a retirement style lifestyle with a full-time wage.
My products and brand are now recognised worldwide and I have now just secured a large reseller in the UK that will list my products for the first time. There are many resellers so there is huge scope to sell either via resellers or direct from your own website. My business in Australia has about a 30-70% split of resellers/direct.
