Turnkey Shipping & Business Hub– No Royalties, Real Estate Included
Business Description
Asset-Backed “Anti-Franchise” Business + Condo – Recession-Resistant, 18 Years, SBA Pre-Qualified.
Step into a cash-flowing, recession-resistant business services center with its own real estate, operating since 2007 in the Greater Lowell market. This is a true turnkey play for an investor or owner-operator who wants steady cash flow, built-in equity, and no franchise handcuffs.
You are not buying a job—you are buying a system: mature operations, trained staff, diversified revenue, and an 18 year reputation that keeps new customers walking in the door.
Why Investors Love This Deal:
- Asset-backed purchase: Includes a 1,500+ sq ft commercial condo (approx. $200K value) so you are your own landlord on Day One.
- Recession-resistant services: Shipping, notary, shredding, and mailbox rentals stay in demand regardless of the economy.
- No royalties, no franchise rules: Keep 100% of the profits and control your pricing, marketing, and growth strategy.
- SBA qualified: Attractive structure for buyers using leverage who want to lock in a strong cash-on-cash return.
Price & Financing
- Asking Price: **$549,000** (includes business + condo real estate).
- Real Estate: Approx. **$200,000** value included in price.
- Financing: SBA lending prequalified; **10% seller financing** available for well-qualified buyers to help close.
You walk into a fully built, fully branded, fully equipped operation:
- Commercial Condo: Professionally built out, dedicated secure shredding room, strong curb appeal, and signage.
- Tech & Systems: Three modern POS stations, CCTV system, a server, and proven workflows.
- FF&E & Branding: Significant investment in furniture, fixtures, counters, and professional signage already in place.
- Company Van: Sprinter van used exclusively for business (ideal for shredding, pickups, and mobile services).
- Inventory: Supplies included so you can continue operations with no immediate additional capital spend.
Services & Market Position
Serving a metro population of over 120K, this location is the dominant independent player in its space. It offers a combination of services that most shipping stores simply do not provide under one roof:
- Shipping Center: Authorized shipper for FedEx, UPS, and USPS across multiple stations.
- Notary Public: High-margin, state-certified services including apostille processing.
- HIPAA-Compliant Shredding Service: Industrial shredding with compliance-oriented, recurring accounts.
- Mailbox Rentals: 75+ USPS-approved boxes with recurring monthly fees and walk-in traffic.
The business also benefits from a strong digital presence, ranking at the top locally for key services and driving a steady flow of organic leads without heavy ad spend.
Growth Upside for the Next Owner:
A motivated owner or investor can scale beyond the current base by:
- Adding wireless carrier commissions (e.g., Verizon / AT&T) to monetize traffic further.
- Building out Amazon FBA/ecommerce support services for local and regional sellers.
- Cross-selling tax prep or related professional services to the existing customer base.
- Leveraging equity in the condo to fund a second location or expand service offerings.
Buyer Requirements & Next Steps:
Because of the strength of the location, financial performance, and competitive advantages, detailed information is only provided to serious, financially qualified buyers.
- Signed NDA.
- Written proof of funds or lender letter showing the ability to finance **at least 90% of the $549,000 purchase price** (a combination of bank/SBA financing and buyer equity).
Once received, we will share:
- Full 2024 financials.
- Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM) with detailed operations and growth roadmap.
Opportunities combining a cash-flowing business, owned real estate, SBA leverage, and seller financing are rare—especially in a proven, 18-year location. If you can provide proof of funding and are ready to move quickly, inquire today.
