Operating since 2012 with 12+ years of continuous operations, the business has built a stable foundation in the building and construction sector.
OPERATIONAL METRICS
• Revenue per Employee: $93,333 across 9 total staff members (7 full-time, 2 part-time)

• Working Capital Efficiency: Low inventory-to-revenue ratio of 1.8% indicates strong cash flow management
