Fire Engine Fun party business for sale for £12,000

January 20, 2010

A small business that can be run from home, hiring out a real fire engine for a variety of events such as children’s parties, hen nights, weddings, adult birthdays and anniversaries, Prom nights or just about anything your imagination can think of. The business is based in the Sussex area and as well as surrounding villages and towns, has a lot of bookings in the Brighton area. It has been running successfully for the past 6 years and has a fantastic reputation. Large amount of testimonials available to look at. There is a large market for this business with almost no competition in the area. Hire charges start at £175 for an hour and in the summer we can have up to 10 bookings per weekend. The business also has an arrangement with 4 hen and stag companies in Brighton who provide regular bookings. Turnover is approx £24k.

There is potential to expand the business into other areas such as training, hire to film sets, fire cover at major events and several other uses.

As a new mum I set up the business so I could work from home while looking after young children. It worked a treat and served its purpose and I am now looking to move onto new ventures having the experience of running my own business behind me.

This business would suit a (former or retired) firefighter or group of firefighters who can share the driving, or someone who wants to work from home such as a new mum. I can provide all the contacts and systems you need so you can take over the business and hit the ground running! I can be available to assist with setting it up for you and provide all the market information you need, so no previous experience will be necessary.
