Business Overview:
This Firewood Sales business was started by a successful Landscape and Garden Contractor. It was an excellent addition to his business and has been continuously successful and profitable. This business does not require full time by the owner but the owner needs to be responsive to the client's orders. It generates a lot of revenue for the required part time involvement. The business is somewhat seasonal but there is year round business. This is primarily a cash business so there are no receivables or debts. Most of his inventory has no cost except that some wood needs to be picked up and some sources deliver the wood. He does buy his premium wood at a fairly low cost. The premium wood is a relatively small part of the inventory. The inventory in this listing turns is at approximate retail value because the cost of goods sold is low and hard to measure.
This is very scalable for an entrepreneur who wishes to put effort into the marketing and advertising. This business has a big database of customers despite very little advertising, signage or outreach. The owner uses part time labor to cut split and sometimes to deliver with him. The wood is sold by wheelbarrow loads or cords. There is a charge for delivery and for stacking the wood away from the truck. These labor charges are usually additional profit sources. Some customers pick up the wood themselves. Owner uses a yard of app. 8,000 square feet of exterior space to store, split and cut the wood. He has a city fire permit to store the wood at this location.
