SBA Pre-Qualified: 30-Year-Old Porsche Performance Parts Manufacturing
Business Description
This business represents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly profitable, established manufacturer in the Porsche restoration parts market, combining consistent 55-65% gross margins and 70% repeat customers with virtually untapped marketing potential. Despite minimal advertising investment and operating from a home-based facility, the business has maintained $600k+ in annual revenue through primarily word-of-mouth growth.
The company's product line encompasses a comprehensive suite of performance and restoration components for air-cooled Porsche engines, with particular focus on modernization and performance enhancement. The business has successfully evolved from its racing roots to become a trusted name in the Porsche restoration community, with many customers maintaining relationships spanning decades.
With an average order value of $765 and a remarkable 70% repeat customer rate, the owner has built the reputation on technical excellence and customer service. The business has remained profitable through various economic cycles, including the 2008 recession, demonstrating the resilience of both the business model and its target market.
Complete documentation exists for all products, including manufacturing drawings, bills of materials, and assembly instructions. Additionally, established relationships with qualified outside manufacturers provide production flexibility and scalability.
The business is positioned for immediate growth through several channels. Relocation from its current home-based operation would enable expanded production capacity and the ability to hire employees. Minimal historical marketing effort presents significant opportunities for growth through basic advertising and customer outreach. Furthermore, several product development opportunities have been identified, including enhanced throttle bodies and drive-by-wire systems, allowing for natural expansion of the existing product line.

Established Brand: 30+ year history in the Porsche restoration market with strong technical reputation
High-Margin Product Line: Consistent 55-65% gross margins on manufactured products
Loyal Customer Base: 70% repeat customer rate demonstrating product quality and market position
