Sign Franchise | Two Locations | SBA Pre-Approved | $256k SDE
Business Description
Two established sign and graphics franchise locations have served the San Diego commercial market since 2009, with a customer base that is 95%+ B2B and minimal walk-in retail. Both locations operate under a single P&L, share production and design workload across sites, and are staffed by a team that has been in place for years.
Top Reasons to Acquire:
— SBA financing available for qualified buyers -- clean asset base, nationally recognized franchise brand, strong underwriting profile
— Revenue above $2M annually with a tenured staff, renewed leases, and a 2025 revenue recovery
— The production location GM previously owned and operated multiple locations of this same franchise brand -- he is aware of the pending sale and is encouraged to stay post-sale to support a new owner through transition and beyond
— Staff across both locations averages 7-10 years tenure -- outside sales, production, design, and installation are all covered
— Owner operates at reduced hours and is not the operational center -- staff handles production, estimating, design, and day-to-day client service independently
— Two locations under a single P&L -- recently renewed 5-year leases at approximately $7,400/mo and $7,100/mo
— Modern, largely paid-off equipment -- flatbed UV printer, CNC router, wide-format printers, plotters, laminators, cutters; POS upgraded 2022
— Significant untapped upside: no outbound sales effort, no CRM, no dedicated outside salesperson at the primary location, and 6,000+ combined customer accounts never systematically marketed to
The locations are complementary. The first location serves property management companies, construction firms, and commercial accounts -- including a top client whose ongoing rebranding across 28 managed properties has driven consistent repeat volume for years. The second location is the production hub, equipped with a flatbed UV printer, CNC router, and wide-format capability, specializing in ADA signage, construction signage, and high-volume commercial work. The two locations actively cross-support each other on design, production, and installation -- giving a new owner operational redundancy a single-location shop cannot offer.
Key Highlights:
— Recurring Commercial Customer Base: 95%+ B2B with no significant customer concentration. Clients include property managers, construction firms, government accounts, and military housing -- many ordering for a decade or more.
— Integrated Two-Location Operation: Design, production overflow, and installations move between locations based on capacity. The production hub's flatbed UV and CNC equipment handles specialty work routed from the primary location -- the combined operation is more capable than either location alone.
— GM With Franchise Ownership Experience: The production location is led by a former multi-unit franchise owner with deep brand knowledge and long-standing customer relationships. He knows the customers, the equipment, the franchisor, and the market -- and wants to stay.
— Tenured Staff: Key employees across both locations have been with the business 7-10 years. Outside sales, installation, production, and design are all in place.
— Real Estate Stability: Both leases recently renewed with approximately five years of remaining term.
— Growth Largely Untouched: No outbound sales, no CRM, no active lead nurturing of 6,000+ combined customer accounts. A buyer with basic sales discipline has a direct path to revenue growth from existing accounts on day one.
