Business Description
Rare opportunity to acquire all or a stake in a highly respected and profitable sign company with over 40 years of history. This is a debt-free business with a veteran team, strong cash flow, and long-term customer relationships. Known for quality workmanship, trade knowledge, and excellent customer service, the business has a loyal base across multiple industries including commercial real estate, retail, schools, new businesses, auto dealers, churches, general contractors, designers, architects, and much more. It enjoys high levels of repeat business (upwards of 70%) and consistent referrals.

The current owner (71 years old and healthy) is looking for a qualified successor or successors as part of a planned exit strategy. He is committed to a smooth transition as he considers it his duty to his employees, clients, and vendors, to find a candidate with intelligence, passion, and integrity. If you are the right candidate, the owner will work hard in the transition to help you continue the excellence of service and craftsmanship that has been the business’ calling card since 1984.

Here are some of the business highlights:
Established Reputation - Over four decades of trusted service.
Experienced Team - Veteran Crew with deep knowledge of the trade.
Financially Sound - Strong, consistent, cash flow and completely debt free.
Growth Potential - Scalable operations and room to expand into new markets, especially online sales and additional geographic areas.
Owner Transition Support - Owner wants to insure decades more of profitability and growth, as well as a home for his long-term and trusted employees.

This is more than just an investment, it's a chance to step into a respected, profitable business with a clear roadmap for the future.
