Plumber Business Partner wanted - London
Discussion
Hi Everyone,
I’m looking for a plumber/gas engineer to partner with in order to run and grow a plumbing & heating firm in London. My background is in operations with a tech bias and have worked in numerous industries including engineering and plumbing & heating.
I’ve actually run a plumbing business before with a team of sub-contractors but unfortunately, it came to an end due to personal circumstances. I was able to apply a lot of principles from my career and bring a lot to the table with the eyes of an outsider. It was a great experience and I’d keen to mirror some of the successes and build from lessons learned. My main driver here is simply that I find this type of business really stimulating and I’m focused on being self employed again.
We could either start a new business from scratch or build your existing business. Division of labour would be as follows. I’d also be happy for you to hold majority shares.
You - Technical Director
Quotations
Technical support
Customer queries
Quality control
Procurement
Me - Operations Director
Business Strategy
Operational processes
Customer support
Web design
Digital automation
Digital Marketing/SEO
Branding/Design
Recruitment
Payroll
Compliance
Admin
Some of my functions would eventually be outsourced but keeping some of these in house initially saves a lot of money plus having an ownership/understanding of these areas is never a bad thing.
One thing I’m really keen on is building towards a profitable exit strategy. A lot of trade businesses are so closely tied to an individual that it can be almost impossible to sell on. Conversely, a business with a strong brand, extremely well defined processes and evidence of growth make for an attractive proposition.
You are ideally one of the following;
1. Starting out on your own and want to grow rapidly beyond a one man band
2. Established on your own and want to grow but struggling when still on the tools
3. You are thinking about retirement in the medium future and want to grow and exit to secure your future.
Not looking for a discussion on the forum but if you’re interested, please drop me a message and we can discuss further on the phone.
