It will cost you a measley $500 to be in it. I will quarantee you a six fiqure income as a sole operator and more if you have employees. You will get 60% commercial and 40% residential and all our contracts to a business that is over 20 years old. That is 38 months away. Are you interested?

Is there a second prize, like a DVD player or a really nice fruit basket?
If so I'm in.

A case of Encap Punch,and a suprise tool. There will be 240 entrants, so your odds are very good.

That comes to your grossing $120,000 for your business IF you manage to sell all of the raffle tickets. How did you arrive at this figure? Is it one year's net income? Does it include all equipment, supplies, customer lists, etc? Do you agree in advance to still run the raffle if fewer than all of the chances are sold?

Mark, It was arrived at by gross net per year. Of course that net will increase over the next 3 years to around $150000 to 160000. Remember when the economy dips, this business increases. It will include immaculate customer files and computer disc, chems, equipment and one 3/4 ton GMC van. additional bldg (23000 sq. ft.) is also available for an additional $260000.00 if needed. This is a 20 year old business with most of the key accounts in this county. And it will not be sold w/o all of the raffle tickets sold. A friend of mine sold most of his pest control company this way (over $700000.00) and he sold more tickets than was needed and had to return some money.

Rambo, Mark is taking the number of tickets times the amount and coming up with the smaller amount. From all that I have seen you post over the years I would guess your business would see for more then you would Raffle it off for.

It looks like you need more tickets or more money per ticket.

Can a person buy all the tickets?

"Commercial Only"

Fred, the amount is about right. Over 3 years ago I sold off 2/3rds of my business and two vans. Our Blind Shoppe is not for sale as it belongs to my son now. I will spell out the details exactly in the next 24 months, I want it to be a bargin for whoever gets it.

Ray where do you live?

"Commercial Only"

McDonough, Ga., between Atlanta and Macon.

how bout' i move up there and get a handle on it now and you just keep a nice retirerment check every month???


PS i'm very serious!

Danny, I could not think of a better person than you for my customer base. I have a local friendly competitor who wants it now. I will be ready to turn it loose in 10/09. BTW I could show them all the Cleanfax article on you and I am sure that woul put their minds at ease.
