Surface Refinishing Franchise

Profile #3011

 

This is one of the top ranked franchises in the surface refinishing category.  It has continued to climb in overall ranking of the Top 500 Best Franchises to purchase.  This is due in part to excellent franchise support and a unique proprietary product.  The customer base is approximately 35% commercial and 65% residential.  A buyer does not need to have industry experience, as the training is supplied by the franchisor and there is continued franchise support.  There are significant growth opportunities within the four territories in this lucrative and growing market.  This company would be an excellent opportunity for a hands-on owner/operator or an investor who prefers a more passive approach by having the general manager run the business (as the owner does now).

 

  Gross Sales...........$511,377

  Adjusted Profit......$142,864

Greetings!

George Pardo

Broker Associate

 

     This month we would like to introduce you to our new team member, George Pardo. George brings to us a wealth of sales and marketing experience and will be focused on serving clients and customers in the Northwest greater Metro Denver market. You can find out more about George by going to Meet the Team, George Pardo, Broker Associate.

 

     Although we have historically focused on representing owners of privately held businesses, on some occasions we represent well-qualified, motivated buyers who hire us to perform a retained search. We are currently representing Brant Bloomberg, who has recently moved his family to the Denver area. Brant has extensive experience in the construction industry and is looking for a profitable business in the greater Metro Denver market. As Brant is paying our fees, this could be a very attractive opportunity for a business owner looking to exit his or her business before business transfer taxes increase at the end of the year.  (Please click here to view a copy of the search letter and profile for Brant.)

 

      Please consider referring our services if you encounter a situation involving the potential purchase or sale of a business. 

 

   

Sincerely,
