Revenue streams / what the buyer acquiresSix Operating DivisionsThe business is not a single-service locksmith. Turnover is spread across six related physical security disciplines, several of which carry high barriers to entry.
Safe supply and salesNew, used and refurbished safes sold into government, commercial, industrial and mining customers.
Opening and manipulationSpecialist safe opening, manipulation, repair and scheduled maintenance. A skills-limited field with few competitors.
Vault worksVault supply, installation, servicing, opening and removal, including full decommissioning projects.
Transport and riggingSpecialist transport, installation, removal and relocation of heavy security equipment using purpose-built plant.
Commercial locksmithingRestricted master key systems and security hardware supply, service and rekeying across commercial sites.
Government and SCECSCEC-related products and services plus high-security storage solutions for government end users.
Exclusive distributionThe business is described as the Australasian distributor of specialised safe time locks, used by retailers to defeat robbery by removing the ability of staff to open a safe on demand. Distribution rights of this kind are typically the hardest element of a sale to replicate and should be a primary focus of buyer due diligence.
Division list compiled by SEN from the vendor's advertised scope of works. Weighting of turnover between divisions has not been disclosed publicly.

Sale inclusions / plant and peopleWhat Transfers With The BusinessThe listing is a going concern rather than a client list. Purpose-built plant and a trained crew are the two assets that make the scope of works deliverable.

Key person considerationWith the vendor counted as one of only 2 full-time technicians, a buyer without safe technician credentials will need either a handover period, a hire, or both. The cost of that replacement is the single largest variable in the earnings a purchaser will actually retain, which is why it appears as an adjustable input in the return calculator above.
Inclusions as advertised by the vendor. Further financial, customer and operational information is available to qualified potential purchasers subject to a confidentiality agreement. The full listing can be viewed here.
