Highly Profitable - Established 1980 - Passive owner - Carpet Cleaning
Business Description
Established 1980 | High-Cash-Flow Floor Care & Textile Restoration | Affluent Resort Corridor
Overview & Investment Highlights
An exceptional opportunity to acquire a market-leading, high-margin textile, carpet, and hard-surface cleaning business with an unbroken 45+ year operational legacy. Established in 1980, this premier brand has become a household name across an affluent mountain resort corridor characterized by high disposable incomes, multi-million-dollar vacation properties, luxury residential estates, and active commercial hospitality accounts.
The business operates as a turn-key enterprise that has been managed profitably and remotely by the owner for 15+ years. Built upon institutional systems, dispatch workflows, and an experienced local team, the operation does not rely on daily on-site ownership to generate top-tier cash flow.
Key Financial & Business Highlights:
Gross Revenue (2025): ~$733,800+
Net Ordinary Income: ~$246,800+
Healthy Discretionary Earnings (SDE): Predictable, high-margin cash flow backed by decades of clean tax returns and accounting records.
Turnkey Remote Systems: Proven scheduling, dispatch, and administrative infrastructure in place for smooth off-site oversight.
Entrenched Brand Equity: 45+ year track record with multi-generational brand recognition, delivering steady year-round demand with zero dependence on aggressive paid advertising.
Financing Options: Clean books make this business an ideal candidate for SBA acquisition financing; seller carryback/financing (15%–25%) is available for qualified buyers with a strong down payment.
Operations, Fleet & Assets
The business comes fully equipped with premium assets and commercial machinery. The sale includes a dedicated commercial fleet of service vans outfitted with high-performance, industrial truckmount hot-water extraction systems, high-capacity water tanks, and integrated hose reels.
Additional assets include commercial rotary extraction units, counter-rotating brush (CRB) agitation machines, portable extractors, air movers, dehumidifiers, and hard-surface restoration tools. All machinery and vehicles are actively maintained and revenue-producing daily with no deferred maintenance.
Facilities & Real Estate Flexibility
The company operates out of an efficient, well-located commercial shop and warehouse facility with low overhead, featuring fleet parking, chemical/equipment staging, and administrative space.
Lease Terms: Favorable, transferable commercial lease secured through December 31, 2028.
Optional Real Estate Purchase: For buyers seeking total property control and equity growth, the commercial real estate is also available for separate purchase at $750,000, making the package an ideal fit for long-term SBA 504 financing.
Market Moat & Expansion Runway
Affluent, Resilient Market: Consistent, year-round service demand driven by high-ticket residential turnover, property management contracts, and boutique hospitality turnover.
High Barriers to Entry: High regional overhead and tight commercial/industrial zoning make it difficult for new competitors to enter, insulating the business from low-cost competition.
Clear Growth Levers: Significant upside remains through establishing dedicated digital ad campaigns, adding specialized high-margin restoration services, or securing additional HOA/commercial maintenance contracts.
Support, Training & Transition
The seller is retiring from the industry to pursue a career change and is fully committed to a smooth transition. Comprehensive onboarding (30–90 days) covering dispatch workflows, team leadership, client introductions, and management systems is included. Extended advisory terms are open for discussion to support lender and buyer requirements.
