Business for sale by regions of Canada
FAQ
- How should I verify a carpet cleaning company's revenue mix?Separate residential jobs, recurring commercial contracts, subcontracted work and restoration referrals. Reconcile appointments, invoices and deposits, then measure repeat frequency, average ticket, cancellations and revenue personally generated by the current owner.
- Where can carpet cleaning wastewater be discharged?Municipal sewer rules control disposal and can prohibit discharge to storm drains or outdoors. Review local requirements, disposal logs and customer-site procedures, then investigate spills, complaints or fines caused by improper wastewater handling.
- What equipment should I inspect before buying?Test truck-mounted and portable extractors, heaters, pumps, hoses, drying equipment and moisture meters. Review service histories, vehicle condition and financing, then budget downtime and replacement rather than accepting the seller's equipment value.
- Which chemical records matter in carpet cleaning?Check labels, safety data sheets, product inventories, worker training and dilution controls for workplace chemicals. Confirm any products sold or imported by the business meet separate Canadian labelling and composition requirements applicable to that product.
- What claims should I investigate before acquiring the business?Review shrinkage, colour loss, odour, mould, water damage, slips and property-access incidents. Compare complaint files with insurer loss runs, waivers and technician training, and confirm coverage includes work performed at customer premises.
- How can I test profit on individual carpet cleaning jobs?Recalculate job margin after technician time, travel, chemicals, fuel, referral fees, equipment wear and rework. Compare quoted area with actual time and identify discounts or free return visits hidden in monthly totals.
