Business Description
Overview
Established Audio-Visual rental and event services business serving corporate, government, nonprofit, and private clients across the Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) region. Operating for over 30 years, the company has built a strong reputation, repeat client relationships, and a substantial inventory of professional AV equipment.

The business is registered in Virginia and operates from a Baltimore, MD facility serving the DC–MD–VA region. Day-to-day operations are supported by established staff and contractors, with the owner operating in a supervisory role. The business has been successfully managed with limited on-site presence, supported by modern systems and 24/7 remote facility monitoring via a comprehensive camera and security setup. The owner visits the facility periodically, demonstrating a low owner-dependency model and a smooth transition opportunity for a new owner.

The business generates normalized Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) of approximately $220,000 and is supported by a solid operational infrastructure. The owner is retiring and seeking a full exit, creating a clean transition opportunity for a qualified buyer.

Financial Highlights
• Normalized SDE: ~$220,000
• Revenue history:
– 2023: ~$885,000
– 2024: ~$650,000
– 2025: ~$635,000
• Significant owned AV equipment inventory (estimated ~$200,000 replacement value)

Operations & Assets
• Full-service AV rental and production capability (audio, video, lighting, event support)
• Long-standing client base with repeat bookings
• Established contractor and technician network
• Strong brand presence in the DMV market
• Vehicles, tools, cases, and operational systems included

Market & Growth Opportunity
The business operates in a stable and recurring market serving meetings, conferences, and events. Recent revenue variation reflects industry-wide changes in online discovery and a website reorganization during the transition to AI-driven search. The digital foundation has now been stabilized, providing upside for a buyer who invests further in modern marketing and outreach.

Real Estate (Optional)
The business may be acquired with or without its current warehouse facility. The warehouse is fully paid off and available as part of a turnkey acquisition, subject to separate pricing.

Support & Transition
Seller will provide a reasonable transition and training period to ensure continuity of operations, client relationships, and vendor handoff.

Reason for Sale
Owner retirement after decades of operation.
