Construction, Rev & Earnings Up Over 30% in 2018, Priced Under 2 1/2XConsistant Work, No Construction Experience Needed, Huge Growth Potential$475,000 Cash Flow: $220,000 Seller Financing Construction, Rev & Earnings Up Over 30% in 2018, Priced Under 2 1/2XConsistant Work, No Construction Experience Needed, Huge Growth PotentialColorado Springs, CO
The trailing 12 month earnings through March 31, 2018 were 220K on revenues of 2.48M. This is up quite a bit over 2017. The 2017 revenues were $2.25M up 18% over 2016’s $1.9M revenues. The Sales Price is currently $475K which is less than 2 1/4 times the trailing 12 months of earnings. This will qualify for an SBA loan with a 10% down payment to the bank and the Seller will carry up to 15% for a qualified buyer. This means that a buyer can buy this with only $50K in liquidity plus working capital. The buyer is showing more flexibility because they want to retire. This is a tremendous opportunity with over 90% recurring revenue, many long term relationships and loyal employees. General Construction Co combined with a Helical Piering Co This is a general construction company combined with a helical piering company owned by the same couple. They believe that a new buyer can easily grow the company which they have not tried to do for many years as they spent more time with their family and grandkids. They were established in 1986 as a residential construction company and evolved into a commercial construction company adding SCHP in 1990. They do most of their work for the Local, State, and Federal Government especially the US Postal System(USPS). They have a long term relationship with the City of Colorado Springs, Denver, Denver Suburbs, the USPS, and with many of the private owners of Post Offices in Wyoming, Colorado, etc. They are as busy as the owners want to be after 31 years working in the industry and 4 grand kids. They are spending 30 to 35 hours a week working for the business and neither goes out in the field with some exception for him on larger bids. This company has a very high percentage of Recurring Revenues because it has a long term reputation with the USPS and various Government Agencies. This doesn’t mean that every year is the same but that most of their customers need recurring work over time. The Sales Price is currently 475K with the Seller willing to carry 15% of it. This has already had a bank look at it that said they will approve a SBA loan for a qualified buyer. This means that if the buyer carries 15% which is 71,250 this leaves 403,7500 which a bank will provide with the buyer matching just 10% of. 10% of 475,000 is $47,500 that a buyer would have to bring to a closing. The sales price is only 1 ¾ times the earnings and includes all assets except the real estate. The risk in buying construction companies is whether you will have new jobs post closing and whether you can grow the business. They have 90% plus in recurring revenue and do zero advertising. The sellers state several times that they could be much larger if they were trying to grow it. They are retiring and have kept the company at a comfortable size for years. Plus, they have almost 200K in current value assets including 104K in vehicles/trailers. No construction experience is necessary. They will train you and let you use their licenses until you get your licenses which they can help you with. A buyer will get a business that has both work in progress and work waiting to be done. In other words, this business will not change the day of the closing. This companies revenues comes to them consistently from long term customers that pay 100% of the time and pay in a timely manner.

If a project is too big for them, it is not uncommon for a larger contractor to be the general contractor and sub some of the work to them. They do mostly carpentry, concrete, and traditional commercial construction framing. They sub most of the mechanical, plumbing, electrical, etc. Most of their jobs are 30 days or less with the average job being close to 2 weeks. Their employees don’t mind the short term travel. The helical piering company was slow for many years but is picking up now as both new construction and remodeling have steadily increased with the increasing population in and around Colorado Springs.
