THE Business for Sale Marketplace

This successful business is a distribution facility servicing businesses over the state of Arkansas. The primary function of the business is to sell wholesale auto parts to body shops, car dealerships, and a variety of other businesses that sell and install these products. The parts sold include headlights (25% of revenues), hoods (15%), fenders (15%), bumpers (20%), grilles (15%), and mirrors (5%). These parts are usually needed as replacements for used cars involved in collisions. The business works with a group of seventeen other independently owned stores, or distribution centers, located in various parts of the United States. The purpose of this alliance is to “pool resources,” enabling the group to purchase large lots of inventory from six different suppliers overseas at a low, volume price. The business recieves containers from suppliers and warehouses parts in the large facility. Phone orders are filled in-house from inventory on the shelf. Workers pull the ordered parts from and drive them to the stores placing orders. This simple, repetitious process is highly profitable for the owners and would be an easy transition to a new owner. Each year, the distribution centers print a large catalog and send it to hundreds of existing customers in the area.The Little Rock location has experienced a significant growth curve over the last six years. The current owner has not hired a salesperson or prospected in any way in recent years because they are content with the level of business the facility currently attracts and the profit generated. This is a great opportunity or a new owner looking for a highly profitable, established business that is not dependent on the reputation of a specific owner. This is a true turn-key opportunity.
