I really appreciate your input however what would be your main reason to be put off buying a round? We realise that some houses may drop us and as a result we have already got a friend designing some cards and leaflets to start canvassing about a month before the guy wants to retire to hopefully start to build up our own client bank. I have already got all my family signed on and his plus after mentioning it to our child minder she has said she would like to be added to the books as did a couple of the mums. Just interested to know what would be off-putting about buying an established round as the response on the thread is mixed.Don't buy a round, that money is better in your pocket and can be spent on marketing, get your own customers its a lot more simple and less easier and the customers are used to your rules, I been trading for 7 years (starting of as part time whilst I had another part time job) and now I deal with over 2,000 clients per month and with 5 vans, if I can do It then so can your husband, If he is really passionate and hungry then he would get the customers himself, it would be better for both of you I reckon, buying a round is hard work and is a lo of hassle my advice would be for you o stay away and start from scratch, I picked up 900 customers last year, It can be done. Good luck
it is a WFP system. I haven't had a lot of time to talk to my hubby about it as he was out last night when i got in but he spent a couple of hours with the guy asking questions and he feels confident about it. The advice is more for me I think as it is such a massive change.Don’t think the basic question has been answered yet. Sounds like a traditional round to me. The lady has said equipment is included but not what equipment is included. If it is WFP is making water a problem or not. Again not answered. Not enough basic facts. Remember buying around means a bit of paper with names and addresses on. You can’t buy loyalty. Potentially they could all say they Don’t want there windows cleaned anymore. Especially if the gentleman just takes over and there is no transition.
