Established almost 44 years ago, this Austin-based window film company has served Texas for as one of the most recommended window tint businesses in its market. The company installs solar control, decorative, privacy, safety/security and custom-printed window film for commercial, residential and automotive customers. It is now offered for sale as the owners plan their exit due to the intent to retire.

Commercial work is the core of the business, producing about 71% of revenue. Customers include general contractors, property management companies, glass companies and direct retail accounts. Projects span office buildings, retail, restaurants, healthcare, government buildings and hotels. The average commercial project invoice is about $4,200, and the company has completed marquee installations for one of the world's best-known technology companies at its campus. Master subcontracts are in place with several general contractors, and the company is occasionally specified by name as the film supplier on architectural plans. A unique strength: the team's experience with construction documents allows it to quote film while a project is still in bidding, winning installs before the building is built.

Automotive tinting produces about 26% of revenue from a dedicated shop that services 10 to 12 vehicles per day, with capacity for 25 to 30. The customer mix is roughly 75% retail, 23% dealerships and 2% fleet, including a contract with a major municipal fleet. Residential work rounds out the mix at about 3% and is treated as filler between commercial jobs, with an average invoice of $830 and 70 to 80 projects a year.

The business runs without the owners in daily involvement or production. However, this is being presented as an owner operated model, so the new owner will need to run the day to day. An automotive manager and a general superintendent (functionality to be replaced by the new owner) lead their divisions, prepare quotes, assign crews and inspect finished work. No sales originate from the owners, and no customer or supplier relationship depends on them. The company can operate for weeks without owner involvement. Employee turnover has been very low for the past three years, the staff is well paid and there are no open positions.

The risk profile is exceptionally clean. There is no debt, no equipment or vehicle financing, no litigation past or present, no liens, no open insurance claims and no personal guarantees. All film carries a manufacturer warranty that reimburses both labor and material, so the company's annual warranty cost is effectively zero. The business holds dealer pricing from every major film manufacturer with no minimum purchase requirements, and all supplier relationships transfer to a new owner.

Reputation drives the business. The company holds close to a 5.0 rating on Google and 4.5 on Yelp, and has been recognized at the local City Hall, featured twice in the industry's leading trade magazine, and received frequent manufacturer sales awards. Nearly all new business comes from repeat customers and referrals.

That is also the opportunity. The company does not advertise, has no marketing budget, uses no CRM and does not upsell. Total digital spend is about $412 per month. A buyer with energy and basic marketing discipline can build on a 44-year brand, a loyal customer base and strong reviews. Paint protection film, which once generated $80,000 to $118,000 a year, can be added back with roughly $1,200 in inventory since the cutting plotters are already owned. New dealership disclosure rules in Texas may also return dealer volume to independent installers.

The owners will provide 30 to 45 days of transition and are open to a longer consulting agreement. Inventory, vehicles and equipment are included; all are owned outright.
