Business Description
Established Distributor | Under 1x Goodwill | $1M Validated Inventory
Representing a staple of the Sacramento business community, this asset-rich appliance distribution and retail center is available for the first time in approximately 40 years. This is not a "potential-based" listing; it is a "straight-facts" acquisition opportunity with a record-breaking 2024 revenue of $3.23M, verified by IRS tax returns.

The business operates as a critical partner to a vast network of local contractors and developers, providing a defensible moat that big-box retailers cannot penetrate. The sale includes $974,521 in pre-sold contractor backlog that transfers to the buyer on Day 1, ensuring immediate cash flow and operational momentum from the moment of closing.

INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

Asset-Heavy Value: Priced at $825,000, the deal is heavily weighted toward hard assets. With an adjusted inventory and equipment floor of over $744,000, the buyer is paying only approximately $81,000 in goodwill — less than half a year's weighted earnings — for a 40-year legacy. The listing price is supported by an independently calculated floor value of $744,079, providing a high collateral-to-loan ratio for SBA financing.

Record Revenue: 2024 marked the highest gross receipts in company history at $3.23M. Three consecutive years of IRS-verified revenue above $3 million — 2022, 2023, and 2024 — confirm the business's consistency and resilience.

Locked-In Profit: The pre-sold pipeline contains approximately $222,000 in locked-in gross profit, providing a built-in safety net for a new owner from the moment of closing.

SBA 7(a) Candidate: Due to the clean IRS-verified financials and high collateral-to-price ratio, this business is an ideal candidate for SBA financing with a low down payment.

Strategic Location: Operating from a high-visibility showroom on a major Sacramento thoroughfare, the business benefits from decades of organic foot traffic and professional contractor pickups.

REASON FOR SALE

After four decades of successful operation, the founding owner is seeking retirement. The seller is committed to a thorough transition period to ensure the long-term success of the contractor relationships and staff stability.

NOTE ON 2025 EARNINGS

The 2025 Seller's Discretionary Earnings of $15,802 reflects an accounting timing difference specific to this business model — not operational decline. Under the contractor presold model, revenue and profit are recognized only upon delivery. As of year-end 2025, $222,191 in gross profit has been contractually earned from pre-sold appliances awaiting contractor pickup. This profit does not appear on the 2025 P&L but will be recognized in 2026 as deliveries occur. A buyer who closes this acquisition inherits the right to that profit on Day 1. Full detail and supporting documentation are provided in the Confidential Information Memorandum.

This listing is confidential. A signed Non-Disclosure Agreement is required to receive the business name, address, and full financial package including four years of IRS-verified tax returns, lender-adjusted valuation report, and presold pipeline detail.
