This business is located in an intensive farming area of 80,000 hectares of irrigation with 4 sugar mills, so between the farmers and the mills you are provided with an on going source of business on your doorstep. The net profit gives a healthy Return on Investment (ROI) of 40% on the asking price. No trade qualifications are necessary and the only training required is 2 weeks with Enzed prior to starting.

The building is well located on the Southern entrance to Ayr, just metres from the intersection of the heavy vehicle bypass and the main street. It caters for both retail sales of parts as well as workshop facilities. The 270sqm shop is leased for 3 years starting in May 2010. The lease amount is included in the financials which will be provided to genuine enquirers.

The mobile unit is a 2007 Hino Dura 300 which has only 25,000km on the clock. There is no leased equipment and all tools and equipment are included in the sale price. The approximate value of equipment including the truck is $150,000.

The sale covers three business units combined as one including the Enzed franchise which looks after the hose fittings, repairs and the service centre for the Burdekin area. Oildrive caters for power unit and hydraulic pump repairs and the sugar mill maintenance with no restriction on the area of operation. The mobile unit comes under the Hose Doctor area of operations.

There is one permanent employee with many years of experience but no formal qualifications. He is willing to stay with the new owners and all leave entitlements will be paid out by the seller.

Ayr is just 85km South of Townsville and is the largest town in the Burdekin Shire. It has a population of 8,500 with about 20,000 in the Shire.
