Hello All.
We have a small, very established (15 years) forklift repair company. I handle most technical repairs and usually employ a PM guy. We recondition forklifts occasionally, but the service side is usually all consuming. I would like to evolve into only used/ reconditioned forklifts but would like to sell the service side of the business. We have +- 100 customers ranging from 1-12 machines, so it should have a value. Problem is, and some of you know what I am talking about, basically I am the company. Any ideas how to market a small company in this position? A dealership mechanic that wants to start on his own? A competitive dealership that wants to begin operation in my area? Just looking for suggestions.
