High-End Sign Manufacturer for Financial and Healthcare Institutions

This is a well-established, high-end sign manufacturing business with a strong reputation, primarily serving the financial institutions and healthcare sectors. The company boasts higher margins than typical sign companies due to its focus on quality and high-profile clientele. Sales and profits have shown consistent growth over the past three years, reaching $20 million in sales and $4 million in Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE) this year, up from $10 million in sales and $2 million in SDE two years prior. A normal year, without large project work, generates $10M-$12M in sales with $2M in profits. The business has a loyal, long-term customer base across various industries including commercial real estate and professional race teams. The seller is retiring and willing to transition for up to one year. A key employee is available to potentially step into an ownership role. The real estate, a 22,000 sq ft facility, is owned and available for an additional $3 million, separate from the business asking price. This deal is substantial and not suitable for buyers requiring an SBA loan.
