BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

This opportunity is an ideal situation for an entrepreneur or existing business wanting to grow and expand by gaining an already well-established customer base and relationships, as well as tested and proven processes and procedures.

Located in Southeast Louisiana, our client offers a stable and reputable company that has been in business for over a decade. The company provides residential and commercial roofing inspections, repairs, and maintenance, as well as new construction services.

Since 2020, the company's revenue has averaged just over $1,800,000 per year. Earnings for that same period averaged $400,000. Last year, financial performance was unusually low with no storms (hurricanes) hitting the coast of Louisiana and an unrelated personal injury limiting the owner's involvement for part of the year. Sales for 2024 are expected to be between $1.5M and $2.0M. If a hurricane makes landfall in eastern Louisiana, sales could easily exceed $2.5M. Sales for 2022 were $2.4M with seller's discretionary earnings over $600,000. Hurricanes affecting the area in the last 20 years include Katrina, Rita, Gustav, Ike, and Ida.

The business is operated by an owner with decades of industry experience. He has a flexible attitude towards transitioning the company and is willing to work for a brief or extended transitional period, based on transaction terms, salary, and/or commission.

Competition
The roofing industry is very competitive with inexperienced people regularly starting roofing companies hoping to profit from hurricane season. Buyers entering the market should be focused on having a reputable company with the proven ability to succeed even when there is no hurricane spiking demand. Likewise, buyers should be concerned regarding the company's ability to scale sales and production when the market is affected by hurricanes and other storms.
Growth & Expansion
Growth and expansion depends on having qualified managers who can meet with customers, estimate jobs, and oversee the project to completion. To prepare for growth and react to storms, companies can focus on repairs to increase cash-flow while developing a quality staff.
Financing
Depending on terms, the seller is willing to assist in financing buyer's down payment
Support & Training
The seller's flexibility in transitioning the company may be one of the greatest benefits of this purchase. Seller is willing to continue sales and operation activities for company for a year and possibly longer. This means you could purchase company and go through hurricane season with confidence.
Reason for Selling
Seller wishes to transition into retirement
