Business Description
Motivated seller, proven model, and ample transition period (included)
This established two-location sign franchise has served the San Diego commercial market for 15+ years, with 90%+ of revenue coming from repeat B2B customers. Both locations operate on a shared P&L, with modern equipment, recently renewed leases, and a combined customer database of 3,000+ accounts across both locations. Other expandable locations available in Southern CA.

Top Reasons to Acquire:
• SBA financing available for qualified buyers — strong asset base and franchise brand support, clean underwriting
• Consistent revenue above $2M annually with $256K in two-year average SDE (2024–2025); 2025 SDE of $274K.
• Key management already in place — National City location is run day-to-day by a general manager, who was the previous franchise owner, he handles approximately 80% of that location's sales and is open to staying post-sale
• Two turnkey locations operating under a single P&L —1,850 sq ft and 2,400 sq ft with recently renewed 5-year leases on both
• Modern, mostly paid-off production equipment — large-format printers, plotters, and cutters averaging 3–5 years old with a 2022 POS upgrade
• Nationally recognized brand with full franchisor support, established vendor relationships, and a proven operating system — a buyer is not starting from scratch
• Sole owner at retirement age, working reduced hours — not a key-man-dependent operation; staff handles production, design, and day-to-day operations
• Significant untapped growth: zero outbound sales effort currently, no CRM or active lead nurturing of the 3,000+ customer database, and no dedicated outside salesperson at Kearny Mesa

Financial Performance:
2022: Revenue $2,346,332 | SDE $480,376
2023: Revenue $2,078,764 | SDE $365,912
2024: Revenue $1,981,142 | SDE $238,077
2025: Revenue $2,183,296 | SDE $274,314

2-year average SDE (2024–2025): $256,195

Key Highlights:
• Loyal, Diversified Commercial Customer Base: 90%+ of revenue is B2B with minimal customer concentration. Each location maintains a database of 3,000+ customers, including contractors, government accounts, and repeat commercial clients — many of whom have been doing business with the company for a decade or more.
• Two-Location Operational Synergy: The two locations actively cross-support each other on graphic design, production, and installations — reducing single-location risk and creating operational redundancy that protects service continuity.
• Experienced Management Team: One location is managed by a former multi-unit FastSigns franchise owner with deep industry knowledge, who handles the majority of that location's sales relationships and is expected to remain post-sale. The other location is production and design staff are tenured and cross-trained.
• Real Estate Stability: Both leases are recently renewed with approximately five years of term remaining, providing cost certainty and transition security for a new owner.
• Proven Franchise System: The franchisor provides brand marketing, operational support, and a vendor network. The franchisor has a well-defined resale process and does not restrict the owner from setting their own pricing or service mix — giving a new owner flexibility to run and grow the business.
• Growth Levers Largely Untouched: The business has operated without a dedicated outside salesperson, active CRM use, or outbound marketing. Activating even one of these would drive immediate revenue upside from the existing customer base.
• Clean Franchise Transfer: Seller is familiar with the Franchisor resale approval process and is committed to a smooth transition, including seller training for an agreed period post-close.
