Ok.been at this 10 year + now so dont want newbies givin advice.got a wfp round to sell as too much work

Question is...do u lads price up bi monthlies in same price as monthlies

Got a few in this round

Do uou price as x3 or x4 nowadays....it one village n been cleanin 8 year n i made up from scratch...cheers for info

 
Most people go by the monthly value when buying or selling

I haven't sold work for years since i sold my whole london round years ago but that was all monthly back then

Maybe half the value of the 2 monthly work would be a fair option

X3 or 4 is what i would call fair but some are selling at stupid rates nowadays

 
I agree..seen a few muppets advert at x10 or wantin 6 months money...bought a few out a few year ago...keep the xream n drop the ****...but not sold none for 10 year

 
Where abouts are you tattooed one, never Know you might get some interest with the forum members if they know where you based.

 
Im a noob and have never sold a round but im going to answer anyway because i have a logical brain

Ad all the monthly, bi monthlys, quartelys, two weekly, 6 weeklys, (whatever it doesnt matter) together into a yearly turnover and divide by 12. This gives you your monthly value.

Then put it up for sale for as much as you think is viable, start at 10x and come down if you need to or if you are desperate to sell. Its like selling a car, you dont put it up for the figure you really want, you put it up far higher then reduce it until you start getting interest and then strike a deal.

Like i said ive never sold a round or have any experience but it seems straightforward business to me.

You sell for what you and the buyer agree on, going rate has nothing to do with it. Say for example of its all cash collection it lowers its value to me personally but to others it might increase it, i would pay top whack for a tight round round containing all online payments, easy access and good prices, but if it was all cash, council houses and poor prices it would be worthless to me. Someone else might revel in that type of round mind.

good luck

 
Monthly value is what it's worth to you. End of the day it's your business that you worked for

 
ive bought 10 rounds in the last few years from 1x -4x the monthly rate if paying more then 3x I always want the fall out money back , theres loads of work forsale at the minute hardly any of its selling it seems

 
There are loads of factors to consider when selling work it's not just how much the value is but how long it takes to service,distance between jobs ,average job price ,how long it's been established for etc.

I have seen work go from 1x-6x

I just sold a small area of work recently I took less than I had hoped for it as it was good well priced work but I sold it to a mate and the hand over was very smooth and easy as he had worked it with me before.I also didn't have time to show some one around and hold their hand for the the first clean.so taking slightly less worked well for me.
