2.38M Revenue | $396K+ SDE
Ownership is seeking a near-term transaction in connection with a planned relocation and has priced the business accordingly. The business is priced to reflect timing and the required relocation rather than underlying financial performance.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most established and recognized lighting showrooms in the Coastal South Carolina market.
The business has been operating for over 50 years and has built strong relationships with builders, contractors, designers, and retail customers. It generates approximately $2.38M in annual revenue with a highly diversified and repeat-driven customer base. $396K SDE includes normalized owner compensation and identified add-backs. Detailed breakdown available upon request.
Revenue has remained stable in recent years:
2023: $2.59M
2024: $2.40M
2025: $2.38M
2026: currently tracking within ~1% of 2025
This level of consistency has been achieved with minimal proactive marketing and without operational optimization, highlighting the underlying strength of the business.

About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 53
- Employees
- 10 Full-time
- Facilities & Assets
- The business operates from a showroom/warehouse facility and will be relocated by the buyer, creating an opportunity to optimize layout and efficiency. Assets include approximately $500K+ of inventory (mix of in-stock and job-specific product, and showroom displays), furniture, fixtures, computer and POS systems, phone system, and a branded service vehicle. The sale also includes the business name, goodwill, supplier relationships (dozens of vendors), website/domain, and established customer relationships built over decades.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- The business operates in a high-growth Coastal South Carolina market supported by ongoing population growth, new construction, and renovation activity. Recent data shows continued housing demand, with stable sales activity and elevated levels of building permits across the region. The company competes primarily through product quality, design expertise, and customer relationships, rather than price, and is positioned above big-box retailers in terms of service and product offering.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Significant upside exists through operational and revenue initiatives. Immediate opportunities include reducing payroll and optimizing the showroom layout in a new location. Additional growth can be driven through increased marketing, builder/designer outreach, and expansion into commercial lighting. The business has historically operated with minimal marketing, providing a clear path for revenue growth under new ownership.
About the Sale

This includes introductions to key builders, contractors, and suppliers, training on systems and operations, and guidance on showroom setup in the new location.
