Investment Highlights
(1) Diverse Employee Base and Skillsets: The Company offers a diverse employee base with a wide variety of skillsets. With 15 experienced employees, the Company can offer services in both the plumbing and HVAC industries. This diverse skill set allows the team to adapt to available work, whether that is service, remodel, or construction work. The numerous experienced employees will provide stability and ease the Company’s transition to new ownership.
(2) Just the Right Company Size: The Company is just the right size for an investment. The Company’s healthy margins make this a profitable investment opportunity from day one. With 15 employees and an 8,000 square foot facility, the Company is not too big to handle for an individual. Additionally, it is not so small that it will not provide sufficient cash flow or growth opportunity for a company looking to perform an add-on acquisition. The Company’s size allows them to take on significant commercial jobs while offering the same customer service they provide for residential work. The Company can take on large projects and bid against companies 4 to 5 times their size, but with less overhead, they do not need to land big jobs to keep their staff busy.
(3) Optimal Response Time: The Company promises to show up and complete the job on time, every single time. The Company has a long history of doing just that and has built a strong reputation in the industry. Homeowners, home builders, and building owners alike can trust that the Company will comply with its deadlines and deliver quality service within their time constraints.
Growth Opportunities
(1) Implement Inventory Control System/Software: Currently, the Company manually tracks its inventory. Implementation of a control system or software could be a good way for new ownership to cut costs and increase cash flow. Without inventory control software, the Company is not maximizing its efficiency in this area. Implementing a system to track inventory purchases, warehousing, turnover, reordering, and other aspects of inventory management could drastically increase efficiency in these regards.
(2) More Aggressive Marketing Approach and Advertising Strategy: Currently, the Company does little marketing compared to its competitors, and the Company’s social media is rarely updated. Revamping the Company’s marketing strategy could allow for significant growth. New ownership could take this task on themselves or hire a marketing agency to handle this project.
(3) Streamlined Process and Procedure Maps: The Company could benefit from processes in sales, warehousing/inventory, job bidding, job billing, and others. Implementing processes in these areas can save new ownership time and money, as well as increase performance. New ownership should look further into what specific processes can be put into place to lower costs and save time.
(4) Growing Plumbing & HVAC Market: The Plumbing and HVAC industries are growing significantly, with growth expected to continue well into the future. Per IBIS World, the plumbing and HVAC industries are expected to grow by 2.9% and 4.1%, respectively, over the next five years. Key drivers of these industries include the value of residential construction, home starts, and private spending on home improvements, which have all increased over the past five years. Industry growth creates excellent opportunities for new ownership to expand and increase the Company’s top-line revenue.

*Special Note: In a victory for small business buyers, the recent $900BB stimulus bill directs the SBA to waive all guaranty fees and pay up to the first 3 months of new SBA 7(a) loans approved between February 1 and September 30, 2021 (up to $9,000/month). Our advice: Don’t wait. Find a quality business and get moving quickly. Banks will be busy this year and buyers that wait until July/August will likely lose out.Â
