Small business for sale in Las Condes Opened in January 2012, the business was set up specifically to help expats living in Chile find workers for their homes. However, due to our excellent reputation and high level of customer service, our Chilean client base is starting to expand. The business is not reaching its full potential as personal circumstances have restricted the hours I am able to work and therefore, the amount of work I am able to complete. Someone who can commit full time will very quickly see the growth and the profit from this great little business. No specific experience is required to run this business, just good customer service skills. Although Spanish is not essential it would be extremely beneficial. I have a bilingual office assistant, who has been with me since we opened; all our customers since April 2012 have contacted us because of recommendations from other clients. The website in English and Spanish has recently been renewed, along with the domain name, and expires in 2015. We have a company logo set for business cards, advertising and stationery. A furnished rented office within walking distance of the metro station and a database of candidates built up over 2yrs. Based on what we have learnt over the last couple of years, we also have very good ideas for additional services useful to both the expat and Chilean community.
