You Don’t Need to Be a Tradesperson
Forget the myth that you have to “know the trade” to own a trade business. Ruff Rock is a well-structured, systemised operation with experienced staff and an operational leader already in place. It’s ideal for:
- Investors seeking stable, high-return opportunities
- Builders or business owners expanding into polished concrete
- Anyone wanting to grow wealth through ownership — not labour
Why the Owner Is Selling
The current owner operates multiple businesses and can only retain one — something has to give. This creates a rare opportunity for a new owner to step into a thriving operation with everything in place: clients, contracts, equipment, and team.
A Straight-Talking Reality Check
If you’re risk-averse, draw a line through this one.
But consider this: you can spend $450,000 on a poorly built one-bedroom unit and get negative returns after taxes, rates, and body corporate fees...
Or put $500,000 into shares and maybe scrape 1% after interest.
Or — you can back yourself, have a go, and make $250,000 a year after expenses and interest.
