About the Business
Years in Operation
42
Employees
2 Full-time
The business is currently operated by the owner and two employees.
Currently Relocatable
Yes
Facilities & Assets
The company currently rents a small office where its two employees work. It uses a toll manufacturing partner to produce and ship the coatings, for which the company owns the formulas and intellectual property.
Market Outlook / Competition
AFM has established distributor relationships worldwide,
but distribution remains limited primarily to specialty
dealers and select retail partners, creating significant white
space opportunity in mainstream retail channels. Only 25
states are sold into. With accelerating green
building mandates, health-conscious consumer trends, and a rapidly expanding $16 billion low-VOC market, the Company is well-
positioned for meaningful growth.
Opportunities for Growth
Opportunity to put the coatings in several new environments and surfaces not currently sold to. Ability to expand website store, further grow Amazon marketing, and most importantly, remarket to the barely touched customer list of 5,000, as well as direct sales and marketing to Mechanical Firms
About the Sale
Seller Motivation

Transition Support

Financing Options
Seller willing to finance a portion of the sale price.
