Well-Established, Easy-to-Run Part-Time or Full-Time Portable Rock Climbing Money-Making Business For Sale
Best Equipment in the Industry, Perfect Safety Record & ZERO Debt
12 Years of Records ALL Happy Clients Ready to Book the Rock Wall Again & Again
Since 1998, Climb On, Inc. has been the premier provider of challenging and fun rock climbing entertainment for hundreds of Palm Beach and Broward county birthday parties, company picnics, summer camps, and other school and church events.
ClimbOn teaches rock climbing in a safe and fun environment, while instilling confidence and self-reliance in children and adults of all ages.
The current owners, Reede & Tammy Lawman, are a husband and wife team. They ve run the business part-time to supplement their income over the past 12 years. Reede is a P.E. teacher at the esteemed Pine Crest School (going on 14 years!) and grew up at a summer camp in North Carolina, Camp Highlander, where he first learned about rock climbing. That s where he got the idea for the business.
It Only Takes 10 Minutes to Set Up and Take Down
After extensive research and proactive selling, Reede scored a fantastic summer camp contract and ClimbOn was born. A few months later, they decided on the best rock wall portable, very easy to set up and take down (it only takes 10 minutes), and built by an industry leader, Enterprises, so the quality is top-notch.
When the business was started 12 years ago, rock climbing was practically unheard of. If you traveled in the Rocky Mountains or Blue Ridge Mountains or further north, you d find outdoor stores with equipment and a few books on different places to go and whether the routes were trad or bolted. In South Florida, there was one other portable rock climbing company in the area and a small indoor gym in Fort Lauderdale.
Today, you ll find rock climbing walls as a regular part of daily activity in many of the schools and universities and there s a myriad of indoor gyms to choose from around the country. While it s still less common in the flats of Florida, interest in rock climbing has grown exponentially.
And, one thing has changed about the South Florida locale. We hold the record for the largest amount of wealth per capita in Palm Beach. People love to show off beautiful homes, cars, private school educations, and more. Along with that comes the desire to host the BEST birthday parties, company picnics, and family gatherings. And, the rock wall is the perfect addition to make the guests gasp in surprise.
Charge $200 Per Hour For Your Rock Wall Services
There aren t many other places in the country you can live and run this business year round. And there are very few places with the type of clientele who can afford to pay you $200 per hour for your services.
You could easily bring in $1,000 - $5,000 per month depending on whether you want to work part-time or full-time. You could even build up to a six-figure income. It really only takes one person to run the business successfully but is easy to divide responsibilities and workload if you want to bring in one or more partners.
You can market the rock wall to corporations, organizations, clubs, and schools you pay a flat hourly, half-day, or full-day fee. Plus, you can make extra money by offering the rock wall as a unique form of advertising. Local businesses in your community will hire you to promote their business for sales events, grand openings, and other special occasions.
