Specifications
With a 22,000 sq. ft. fabrication shop and 41 skilled personnel on staff, this HVAC design and installation company has been in operation for 70 years! Clients for this business include education, manufacturing, industrial, medical, government, and municipalities. The team is comprised of 9 office staff, along with 4 in the shop, 7 service staff, and 21 field employees. Not only do they specialize in new construction and renovation ventures, but they successfully work on refrigeration systems and manage projects as prime contractors as well. The team focuses mainly on new construction (40%) and renovations (45%), and their service department accounts for 15% of annual revenues. Prime contracts amount to about 15-20% of work performed. The service department performs approximately $1.5M per year, while hard bid projects are in the $10.5M range.
This multi-faceted business is held in high regard by the general contractors, architects, and engineers in the Kansas City Metro. Their increasing revenues show that this healthy business is growing organically through positive word-of-mouth reviews and high-quality workmanship.
Priced at $1,725,000, a new owner could easily continue the current successful trajectory, as well as grow the business by expanding the maintenance and service contracts. The business operates from a complex that has ample space for all current operations with room for continued expansion. A large 30,000 square foot building features a 22,000 square foot shop which is the fabrication hub and the remaining spaces (8,000 square feet) are utilized as storage warehousing. The lots are both paved and offer plenty of parking and working space.About the Company
The facilities are perfectly suited for the work completed. The complex is made up of four buildings. The first is a 30,000 square foot building of which one quarter is dedicated office space. The remaining 22,000 square feet is the fabrication shop and warehouse storage. This building was renovated in 2007 and is up to all codes. Two additional buildings are 5,000 square feet and both are utilized as warehouses. There is one 2,800 square foot building within the property that is leased to another tenant who has been a reliable lease, but if a buyer would like to expand, this property can be assumed for expansion purposes. All buildings on the 3.8 acres feature security systems with fire and intrusion alarms, cameras, as well as a fully fenced property with gates and it is all topped with barbed wire making for a very secure facility. The front lots are asphalted, the back lots are gravel, and the loading docks are paved in concrete.
The company is generally a specialist mechanical sub-contractor on most projects, yet they do have the capability to manage projects. When they are the prime contractor, they manage services including plumbing, painting, general construction, structural steel, roofing, building automation and electrical services in addition to their HVAC and refrigeration duties. At times they manage fifteen subcontractors on a project.
Recently the business became accredited and certified by NEMIC (National Energy Management Institute Committee), as Fire Life Safety professionals who are able to be fire and smoke damper contractors and inspectors. They are now able to test and certify fire and smoke damper systems. There are few competitors in the area with this certification and they just completed their first project with this specialization.

Valuation
The Firm Advisors used a cash flow valuation methodology to determine the purchase price of the business.
Cash flow is the sum of business net income plus any owner perks and any non-onward expenses. Then we prescribe a multiple based on 20 parameter which valuate the health of the business. For this valuation, we used the 2 year average cash flow.
The formula used is as follows:
2 yr. Ave. Cash Flow x Prescribed Multiple = Fair Market Value
With this information, the computation is as follows:
$505,726 x 3.45 = $1,744,755
