Basic Information

• Type of Opportunity: Purchase a powder coating business
• Opportunity ID: TSEO 2021-04, Project Tower.
• Posting Date: December 6, 2021.
• Closing Date: February 7, 2022.

Description of Opportunity

• A growing local Seneca County manufacturer is wanting to sell a successful industrial service business (powder coating) they purchased in 2011. At the time, they bought that business to bring that function in-house, and they now have that capability.
• What they don’t want or need to do is to continue to service the other external customers this business currently has in a 60-mile radius.
• The powder coating business has averaged annual sales of $335,000 over the last five years with a profit margin averaging 28%.
• Selling the business will also allow the local manufacturer to devote the current 7,000 to 10,000 square feet it currently occupies to core manufacturing, which will also be the space required to operate the business.
• There are currently five employees running this, but those employees will stay with the current employer and be folded into other operations, so new employees will have to be recruited.

Terms

• Asking Price: $300,000. Equipment included. Inventory not related to the seller included.
• Timing: as soon as possible.
• Ongoing Support: The manufacturer will provide support and serve as a resource to help the purchaser learn the business. When they purchased it in 2011, they did not have background in powder coating and were able to successfully navigate the business.
