Filament Business Advisors is proud to list one of the country’s top Horse Trailer sales and service shops along with its well situated 9.5 acres of easily accessible, and developable, real estate. This 26 year old company has made itself the indispensable partner of the Horse world by providing the best products from around the country at the best prices and with knowledgeable, friendly and comprehensive service. Hundreds of Google reviewers rave about the staff of horse people and the well curated inventory of trailers and haulers for all horse and farm related work. The nearest competitor is 2 hours away.

The company sports multiple fully-equipped, custom built service bays, office and storage areas. Property improvements include a 2,592 square foot main shop with 14 foot tall drive thru doors on each end plus a 4,256 square foot, 4-bay shop that was completed in 2023. Also contributing value is the 640 square foot unenclosed pole structure.The ample owned inventory and $604,000 leased Floor Plan spread out over several acres give buyers the opportunity to make the right choices. Occasional or visiting customers as well as those with trailers in the shop can rent trailers for as long as needed.

The Service and Fabrication Departments provide white glove service to every customer including Virginia State Inspections, Maintenance, Repairs and Custom Fabrication of both steel and aluminum products. The company employs 8 full-time employees, 5 part-time sales associates and 1 part-time fabrication manager. The Fabrication Department welds steel and aluminum, allowing them to repair, modify and fabricate almost anything a horse owner might need or want. The team has a combined 125+ years of experience with trailers, repair, hitches and what constitutes a safe and adequate tow vehicle.

The customer base includes equestrians (predominantly women riding English), business owners, and suburban property owners (60% individuals and 40% organizations & government agencies) from all across Virginia, the Mid-Atlantic and South.

The current owners oversee the Service Department, Sales and Business Operations. They work at most 2-3 days per week and have developed a dynamic team which does not require their daily oversight. The current owners are prepared to offer sufficient training and support to the new owner as they prepare to retire.

This is a great business for a horse person who wants a real estate hedge. A new owner could expand the Sales and Service Departments to include RVs with little change to the physical plant. A strategic buyer from the automotive or horse world could find synergies with the quarter century old and affluent customer base. Since the rental business is particularly lucrative, a savvy buyer could increase cash flows by marketing to occasional users and visitors, and a long term investor might hire an operator in the short term while developing future plans to move the business to a smaller location and develop the Real Estate for housing, hospitality or other uses that might be higher and better.
