If you are thinking about buying a Kwik Kerb® business opportunity
Thank goodness you have found this page

We are the original inventors of Zippykerb Continuous concrete kerbing way back in 1981 when we owned a large building products manufacturing business in Sydney and Newcastle. George May applied for a patent which was granted in 1983 many years before Kwikkerb® even began in business
In our opinion Kwikkerb® must be the most overpriced poor value business for sale in Australia and the World
To be able to make a good comparison:

  • We have recently purchased a used Kwikkerb® Business Unit / Trailer / Edgemaster machine, Edgeprep® turf cutter etc to be able to see exactly what people get for their money
  • We have also been given a complete KwikKerb® opportunity package from a person who was thinking of purchasing a KwikKerb® Business Opportunity  
  • And have talked to many Kwikkerb operators trying to desperately sell the KwikKerb equipment which they have paid up to (as we have been told) $90,000

$90,000!!!


Some are trying to sell almost new Kwik Kerb® Units for around $20,000 a HUGE loss!
Here is one we just found on the Net

What is included with Kwik Kerb®?

The complete Kwik Kerb® business includes all the machinery and equipment required to make the kerbing system work most efficiently. Many special tools have been developed specifically by Kwik Kerb® and are not available anywhere else. You will also have advertising, merchandising signwork, stationery, promotional items, decals, uniforms, artwork and just about everything conceivably required to start a successful business. We have made sure you will not need to any other equipment to get started. You will even have a purpose designed trailer to operate your business from with professional sign writing (just like a mobile billboard.)

How many days a week am I required to work?

You are not required to work any particular number of days per week. The choice is yours depending on your own lifestyle or financial goals. Often Kwik Kerb® business owners find that they earn as much in a day as they would have in a week in their previous role and therefore choose to only work a couple of days a week. Many Kwik Kerb business owners enjoy the unlimited income potential that Kwik Kerb® offers and run their business full time.

Is the Kwik Kerb® business a one person operation?

The Kwik Kerb® system has been designed to be run effectively as a single person operation and many Kwik Kerb® business owners run their business very successfully in this manner. Some choose to have a labourer or offsider available for large or commercial kerbing jobs where time is paramount. Many Kwik Kerb® businesses are also run efficiently by husband and wife teams with the partner involved on a variety of levels, from actually working on the job site, to quoting and bookkeeping.

Is laying Kwik Kerb® very phisically demanding or difficult?

Kwik Kerb® is not very difficult or physically challenging for the average person to lay. Most of the actual physical work is completed by the Edgemaster® edging machine and Edgeprep® ground preparation machine, however it is outdoors work which is not suited to everyone.

With the comprehensive Kwik Kerb® training course, instructional video and easy to read instructions manuals, you will be ready to begin after a short time. Most operators start producing quality garden edging after just a few days.

There is already a Kwik Kerb® business owner in my area, can I still become one?

The number of Kwik Kerb® businesses operating in a certain area depends on a number of factors including whether the existing business owner/s can keep up with the demand for kerbing in that area and how long they have been established. Population and other demographic considerations are also taken into account. We have found that the more Kwik Kerb® edging that is laid, the more people see it and the demand therefore increases.

A UNIQUELY PROFITABLE BUSINESS

High profits and low overheads.

Kwik Kerb® provides you with the opportunity to own and run your own business. A
business that has already been made successful by people like you for over 25 years! It is a business system that has been designed to maintain low costs hence maximising profits, all of which you keep as there are no on-going franchise royalties!

Low running costs.

- Traditional business overheads such as electricity, rent and wages are not necessarily a part of the Kwik Kerb®system. Raw material costs are low while profit margins are high as this graphic shows.
