Fire Door Life Safety Services and Specialty Contracting
Business Description
High Barrier to Entry!
This Boston-based company provides life safety fire door inspection, repair and replacement services to one of Boston’s premier hospitals and healthcare providers. Currently life safety work is over 50% of total revenue. The owner is working to expand fire door services into several additional Boston healthcare institutions.
The regulatory driven annual fire door inspections require documenting defects and repairing or replacing failed units as part of the yearly certification process. No state licensure is required, instead inspectors must take a 3-day training course.
In addition, the business works with facilities management departments, providing small to medium-sized mission critical specialty contracting and remodeling services on a non-competitive price basis. 25% of EBITDA comes from 50% markup on products, materials, and supplies used in project work and sold directly to in-house facilities shops and maintenance departments.?
