Alaskan Leopard Comedy Tours

$105,000.00 (two busses) - $85,000 (one bus)

Alaskan Leopard Comedy Tours was created in 2001.  It has evolved from strictly a comedy walking tour venue into the Cruise Transportation service of today.  We are a respected and recognized tourism venue in Anchorage.  We have outstanding guest reviews published on CruiseCritic.com as well as many other notable open bulletin board sites worldwide.  This is a highly profitable business.  From your net profit, you will realize better than one-half of your purchase price in your first year of business.  This is not a sacrifice sale.  We are beginning our retirement planning and are simply looking to reduce our personal time commitment to our many businesses.  This venue is owned by Alaskan Leopard Enterprises, Inc.  It is only one of five active business ventures operating under the Alaskan Leopard umbrella. 

Currently Alaskan Leopard Comedy Tours offers these venues:  Anchorage/Whittier tours.  Anchorage/Seward Tours.  Custom Group Transportation and Tours.  This sale includes all three venues.  The name 'Alaskan Leopard Comedy Tours' is included in this sale.

  2. Additionally included in the sale is a second bus which has a 31 passenger capacity.  Currently this vehicle is under a lease agreement with its current owner.  For the 2008 season we used this vehicle for our custom group venues and on days when our regular venue vehicle was sold out.  Full transfer of ownership will take place upon the closing of this sale.

Please note that this business is currently a summer seasonal activity.  We do not offer any tours after September 18th or before May 15th.  It can be successfully run by a single individual with a gross profit margin of 60% or better.  Only the owner and one employee driver are necessary to take over and operate this turn-key opportunity as it is currently configured.  Only serious investors should request additional information.

Thank you for your interest in Alaskan Leopard Comedy Tours.
