My friend has a Limo company, he's been in business for 15 years and done well for himself, until the past few years.
So far this year he has had 2 bookings in Jan and one booked for Mar. Nothing in Feb.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
He needs to close the doors but doesn't know how to go about it. Plus he's really depressed.
He has no debt everything is paid off. He does have operating expenses that run about $2,500 a month including rent, advertising, insurance and such. He doesn't have the rent due now. The business is a corporation so nothing should hurt his credit right?
I suggested an auction. He has other vehicles he needs to sell as well . Like a dune buggy and tricked out van.
I have been listing the limos on craigslist and ebay with no luck. I have even been listing them in surrounding cities.
He is going to try autotrader, has anyone had any luck with that?
I am hoping GLP can give him some good suggestions.
Quoting: No Mo Limo 31039519 After retiring from the Army, I built a small chain of restaurants, and in 2006 I saw the writing on the wall. I sold the entire business lock,stock and barrel and retired to Sunny Fl. I told most business folks to do the same, nobody listened. I am loving life and livin large. Your friend will stay with the ship, even though he has watched it started to sink for years now. there is no advice he will take at this point. Him and I have been friends for 30+ years and you are so right. He is laying in bed right now hoping someone will call. On a positive note, he has been eating really well and started exercising. He stopped drinking and messing around. I believe a new door will open for him. He has perfect credit and owns his home. He wants to work for someone else for awhile and learn a new trade.
