ADDING NEW TRUCKS TO YOUR FLEET. One of the “Partners” we will want you to know is Dennis Riley who is the Broker introducing you to this Fantastic Business. He has been in the Life Safety Businesses for over 35 Years, he has owned 31 of these Life Safety Businesses in 17 Cities Coast to Coast, One of these Businesses was Beltway Fire Equipment in Washington DC. He started with one “Route Sales” truck and no Customers, 12 years Later he had 17 trucks on the road servicing 21,000 Customers. He sold the Business for $1.7 million or $100,000 for each “Route Sales” truck he had on the road. The reason he decided to add Fire Extinguishers to his Alarm Security Business was the Fact that being the first in the door of a New Business to SELL them the required Fire Extinguishers, it put him in front of the line to get the Monitored Alarm Security sale. That was what got him 3,000 additional Alarm Accounts that he would not have UNDER CONTRACT if he was not in the door with the Fire Extinguishers. Those 3,000 Alarm Accounts sold for $3.2 Million. As your Fire Extinguisher Business Grows you may want to add Alarm Sales to your Growing Business or dozens of other Profit Centers that compliment your Fire Extinguisher Business. We can show you how to keep adding New Route Sales trucks to your fleet. Each time you add another Truck you should be adding another $240,000 of sales to your Business and another Net Profit pf over or near $30,000. 4 “Route Sales Trucks” on the road producing a Million Dollars in sales, should give you a solid income of about $140,000.

With this Business you will have about $2,000 of New & Used Inventory and One Truck, we suggest that a New Truck should be added soon, the existing truck is running well, but has high Mileage.
