You'll capture premium pricing and consistent demand as the only large-format kiln-dried slab provider in your territory, eliminating competition concerns and securing your market leadership from day one.

Your diversified revenue portfolio protects against market volatility while maximizing earning potential through custom furniture fabrication (60%+ margins), kiln drying services, slab sales, surfacing operations, and bonus rental income from owned commercial property. This strategic mix ensures steady cash flow regardless of seasonal fluctuations or economic shifts.

Transform raw materials into high-value products using $728K worth of assets including Italian vacuum kiln technology that dramatically reduces drying time while improving quality control. You'll serve affluent homeowners, premium builders, designers, and regional craftsmen who pay top dollar for superior products - with no single customer representing over 25% of revenue, protecting your income stability.

Scale rapidly with minimal marketing investment thanks to established SEO rankings, top-performing Google presence, and 2,500+ engaged email subscribers already driving qualified leads to your door. Multiple expansion opportunities await including wholesale distribution, trade partnerships, geographic growth, and e-commerce development that could double your current revenue.

Operate from 30,000 sq ft across two owned properties that eliminate rent expenses while generating additional income streams. The real estate component provides long-term asset appreciation and operational security, with purchase options available to match your investment strategy.

Access over $1M in premium hardwood inventory across 23 species, giving you immediate product availability while competitors wait months for materials. Your automated equipment and vacuum kiln technology create significant barriers to entry, protecting your market position and pricing power.

Benefit from committed seller support including up to 6 months of hands-on training, ensuring smooth knowledge transfer and operational continuity. A standard non-compete agreement protects your investment while you build upon this established foundation.

Capture the $82K USDA automation grant transferring with sale, providing immediate efficiency improvements and cost reductions. Your 6.77% revenue CAGR - triple the industry average - demonstrates proven growth momentum you can accelerate.
