Type Business:                                                 HVAC-R/re - Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning/Refrigeration/Restaurant Equipment

State/Region:                                                     NE Dallas, Texas

Revenues: $72,232 gross sales              Earnings: $37,219 gross income

Price:          $38,500               Seller Will Consider Terms

Inventory: 15,000+              Inventory Included: yes

FFandE: 20,000 (optional add on)

FT Employees: 1                   Years Established: 5

Summary Description: Profitable HVAC/Refrigeration/Restaurant Equipment business

with regular clientele providing year round work.  Expert analysis prices business at $58,500, including truck, trailer, tools, inventory, and clientele.   However, we will sell the business clientele and inventory for $38,500 if desired, and give the buyer the option of getting the all inclusive turn key package for $58,500.  Operations include repairing all types of freezers, coolers, ice machines, restaurant equipment, and of course air conditioning and heating units. 

Advertising not necessary due to references, unless buyer wants to expand.  There is great potential for expansion in our area due to minimal competition with refrigeration. 

Location/Facility: located NE of Dallas, Texas

The Opportunity: This business has regular commercial clientele such as convenience stores, restaurants, school district, nursing homes; and currently minimal residential.  This is by choice due to residential hot attics being undesirable, and having plenty of light commercial business to maintain income at current level.  Due to other family obligations, I have chosen to remain a one man business, and retain a less complicated secular life.  If I advertise, I cannot handle all the business that comes in.  My current clientele refers me to other business owners, as well as having much work amongst them due to constantly worked machinery.

I am willing to use my time to ensure a smooth transition.  The company name and phone numbers, and office supplies such as invoices, extra magnetic company decal for truck, company stamps, etc. go with the business (too many to mention).  If buyer should decide to purchase the diesel truck and trailer, they have large decals for free advertising anywhere you go.  I also have a flat bed trailer ... if owner accepts whole package, there will be many add ons to the package deal.  We are motivated to sell, so we will consider flexible financing by owner options.

Reason 4 Sale: My family is moving to another country.

Comments: Banks are interested in offering a low interest SBA Loan, which is easy to qualify for if you have 3 years experience in the field.

We have also had a professional analysis of our business, which is composed of many pages of financials ensuring our business is properly priced.

I have many trouble shooting manuals that I have spent a wealth of time accumulating that correspond to my clients' equipment which will go with the business.

Also, if you should be a nervous entrepreneur, as I was, I will help train you, familiarize you with the clienteles' equipment, and make this transition easy for you.  Don't let the repairing of restaurant equipment prevent you from considering this business, because if you can work with normal HVAC-R, this part is much easier than meets the eye.
