ビジネスの説明

This 8+ year established industrial powder coating company serves a loyal, repeat base of Southern California OEM manufacturers from a fully equipped, approximately 6,000 sq. ft. light-industrial facility in Orange County. The business applies durable protective and decorative powder-coat finishes to fabricated metal components. 
 
Revenue was approximately $660,000 in 2025, with three-year average Seller's Discretionary Earnings of approximately $119,000 (2024 SDE of nearly $168,000, and 2025 SDE above $105,000). Remarkably, these results were achieved with essentially zero advertising spend: every customer has come through reputation and referral, leaving a website, digital marketing, and outbound sales as completely untouched growth levers for a new owner.
 
The operation is turnkey. A stable crew of five full-time production employees handles surface preparation, powder application, oven curing, packing, and shipping/receiving, coordinated day to day by a senior production lead, professional-grade spray systems, a large spray booth and curing oven, and an active air-quality (AQMD) permit.
 
The seller is exiting for personal health reasons and will provide a customary transition and training period; a capable buyer can reasonably learn the business in about two months.
 
 
Investment Highlights

• 8+ year established trade name — referral-driven reputation for being on time, on budget, and fairly priced.
• Proven cash flow — three-year average SDE of approximately $119,000 (2023–2025); 2024 SDE was nearly $168,000 and 2025 SDE exceeded $105,000.
• Zero advertising spend — all revenue to date is organic, making basic marketing an immediate, low-cost growth lever.
• Stable, trained workforce — five full-time production employees including a senior shipping/receiving lead; retention attributed to fair pay and fair treatment.
• Disciplined receivables — COD for new customers, Net 30 only after credit check; no account ever sent to collections.
• Fully equipped facility — spray systems, large spray booth, curing oven, compressor, pressure washer, dry racks, and company truck for pickup/delivery included.
• Real barriers to entry — active air-quality (AQMD) environmental permit plus significant equipment investment deter new entrants.
• Sticky B2B customer base — repeat purchase-order flow from long-standing OEM manufacturing accounts in a dense industrial market.
• Built-in capacity — single shift, Monday–Friday — room to add a second shift within the existing footprint.
• Industry tailwinds — tariff-driven reshoring of metal fabrication supports the company's exact customer base, without commodity exposure on its own books.
• Clean deal structure — asset sale at $299,000 — under 2.9× most-recent-year SDE — free of assumed long-term debt and supported by 17 comparable transactions.

 
 
Ideal Buyer Profile

• Hands-on owner-operator or first-time buyer (SBA-eligible price point) comfortable managing a small production crew and customer relationships; no special license or trade certification required.
• Sales- or marketing-minded operator who can activate the completely untapped marketing channel — a website, local SEO, and direct outreach — on top of a stable referral base.
• Strategic acquirer — an existing fabrication, wet-paint, plating, or coatings business seeking a permitted powder line, added capacity, or an Orange County customer list as a bolt-on.
• Buyer able to commit to roughly a two-month hands-on transition; the seller will train but does not wish to remain long-term.

 
Growth Opportunities

• Turn on marketing — launch a website, Google Business Profile, and local SEO — current spend is $0, so any visibility is incremental.
• Outbound sales — add a part-time or commissioned rep to call on the region's thousands of fabricated-metal manufacturers.
• Expand capacity — run a second shift or Saturday production inside the existing 6,000 sq. ft. facility to lift throughput without new rent.
• Broaden services — add adjacent offerings such as sandblasting/media prep, masking-intensive work, or specialty and small-batch custom coating.
• Systematize the funnel — convert the informal referral network into a managed pipeline with a simple CRM and quote follow-up process.
• Ride reshoring demand — pursue larger recurring OEM contracts as tariff pressure continues to reshore metal fabrication to domestic manufacturers.
