Revenue has gone 2024 $1.05M → 2025 $1.79M → 2026 $1.92M run-rate in three years — and 3 straight years of gross margin increases

A residential and commercial painting business operating five contiguous protected territories across metropolitan Phoenix under a nationally recognized, SBA-registered franchise brand.

This is not a start-up and not a turnaround. It is a platform that is already built:

$1,923,693 annualized 2026 revenue, from $1,786,739 in 2025 and $1,047,844 in 2024
$328,219 seller's discretionary earnings (three-year weighted)
43.6% gross margin, up from 38.1% two years ago — growth without margin compression

Zero W-2 employees. All production runs through nine crews engaged from five independent partner companies.
Labor cost is fully variable.

No retail location, no storefront, no inventory. Relocatable anywhere inside the territories.

Approximately $905,000 of open, quoted estimates in the pipeline right now — before a new owner generates a single lead — with the job board scheduled through year end.

Why the territory matters. Five separate franchise agreements, each carrying a ten-year term plus a ten-year successor option and a contractual population floor. Nearly 1.5 million residents sit inside protected boundaries where the franchisor may not place another operator of this brand. Phoenix adds roughly 59,000 residents a year, leads the nation in new housing units, and the desert heat shortens exterior repaint cycles here relative to almost anywhere in the country. Painting is a repeat-need service — homeowners return every five to seven years.

Why the crews matter.
Twenty painters across nine crews, averaging 2.2 years attached, more than half of them at three years. Recruiting and holding painting crews is the hardest operational problem in this trade, and this bench transfers with the business.

Who this fits.
An owner-operator stepping into the sales and estimating seat, or an existing home-services operator folding five protected territories into a back office that already exists. The brand is listed in the SBA Franchise Directory, so acquisition financing does not require a separate franchise eligibility review. Franchisor approval and training are required.
