Partner up with a successful Log Home Building business !

Father/Son operation looking for the replacement partner for the father getting ready for retirement. The buyer needs to be an experienced businessman, with previous salesl and or Construction experience. The offering is for a 50% stake in the company which is a successful and still busy entity engaged in constructing custom Log Homes, and expanding to offer more services and products. There will be some financing with appropriate down payment, and agreement with the Father staying on as a consultant and Sales person for at least a couple of years.The current expansion features a leased 3000 sq.ft office/ showroom/ shop with an outside 1200 sq.ft. model site on a very busy Interstate 81 interchange, all in the set up phase. The father has been a past National Sales Director for a large national log home manufacturer, and completely understands the operation of a log home business from the ground up. The Son is 37 years old, a new father, and has been in training for the construction process for over 7 years. He is also a Master Wall Builder, and an accomplished landscaper. This business began in 1997 as a landscape company, added the log home dealership in 2001, and has gone from 180,000 gross up to 1 million gross, with the projected growth with this expansion to 1.75 million in 2 years. All construction is done using sub-contractors scheduled and managed by the Son. The new expansion will feature dealer and distributorships of several other products already related to the current business, and the addition of the new "Tiny Cabin," line of get-a-way homes. A new website is being developed, and investments in additional equipment is on schedule. The owner financing would make this an easy buy in, and give the right new prospective buyer the opportunity to get in on a successful venture and not have nearly as much risk as is normal for starting up a new business. 20 % of the sale price as down will be necessary.
