Market Outlook
Competition: This business competes to some extent with other regional LV construction companies but is known as the go-to LV infrastructure provider in the region.
Growth and Expansion: The company has experienced strong growth over the past few years. It does not advertise, and all business comes via repeat or referral. Business has been running at capacity recently, and the company’s pipeline is perpetually full for two years. The regional industry could support a great deal more business, and that trend is expected to continue. With a small amount of marketing and advertising and additional employees, they could expand revenue and cashflow considerably.
About the Sale
The owner wants the legacy the business he created to continue, and is seeking a buyer who can help propel this company to the next level. He is willing to stay on in a consulting capacity for the right buyer – for as long as that reasonably takes. Key employee who runs most of the business will stay on and willing to purchase a minority equity stake (10-15%) for cash at closing.
