Hot Listing
Legacy NYC Union Plumbing Company | $900K+ SDE | SBA-Underwritable
Business Description
Offered for sale is a rare opportunity to acquire a long-established, union plumbing contractor serving New York City and the surrounding boroughs. Founded over 60 years ago, this business has built a strong reputation for quality workmanship, reliability, and long-standing relationships across residential, commercial, and institutional projects.
The company operates as a full-service plumbing contractor, with capabilities spanning service work, alterations, and new construction. Historically, the business has completed work for hospitals, schools, large commercial facilities, residential developments, and other high-profile properties throughout NYC. The firm is Local 1 union affiliated, creating meaningful barriers to entry and positioning it for larger, higher-value projects.
Operations are supported by an experienced team that includes office staff, field supervisors, and union plumbers. Ownership has historically been hands-on but is prepared to support a structured transition period post-closing to ensure continuity of relationships, licensing support, and operational knowledge transfer. A buyer with appropriate licensing — or a strategy to maintain licensed management post-close — will find this to be a scalable platform with significant legacy value.
Financially, the business has demonstrated strong historical revenue and cash flow, including multiple years of materially higher performance prior to the most recent transitional period. Recent results reflect a combination of market-wide softness in union work, timing of retainage collections, and discretionary capital expenditures — all of which have been reviewed and normalized in the financial presentation provided under NDA. Full historical financials and a detailed cash flow analysis will be shared with qualified buyers.
The company operates out of approximately 4,000 square feet of space within a larger mixed-use facility. Real estate is owned by a related entity and is not included in the asking price. However, there is flexibility to structure a long-term lease, or potentially explore a real estate purchase in connection with the business acquisition, if desired.
This opportunity is best suited for:
• Licensed plumbers or plumbing contractors seeking expansion
• Strategic buyers looking to acquire an established union platform
• Well-capitalized owner-operators with operational depth
• Buyers utilizing SBA or conventional financing (subject to underwriting)
Confidentiality is critical. No site visits or direct contact with employees will be permitted without prior coordination. Interested parties must demonstrate appropriate qualifications and execute a non-disclosure agreement before receiving additional information.
Serious inquiries only
