Mobile tool truck for automotive workshops, panel beaters
About the business
This mobile tool supply business, a retail store based in Ballarat, Victoria, works from a fully fitted mobile tool truck. Instead of a shopfront, it brings a broad range of tool and equipment brands to customers along an established, recurring servicing route, so there is no shopfront rent. The truck carries shelving, EFTPOS, a laptop and a printer for sales and invoicing on the spot. The owner is planning retirement, and handover assistance is available to the new owner. The business has never had a website, online store or social media presence. The broker reports that growth could come from an e-commerce store, a delivery service, email, SMS and social media marketing, a wider service area and additional trucks. The broker reports that it can stay a lifestyle business or be scaled up by a growth-focused owner, including by branding or wrapping the vehicle.
