This business has been serving Seattle and surrounding areas since 2004, launching as a franchise in 2019 to become more community-focused; offering expert training and support for all operational aspects of the business, their company goal is 100% franchisee satisfaction. Outsourcing all facility improvements, the current team  includes 4 Project Managers, 1 Sales Representative, and 1 Project Team Admin. All hands-on work is completed by subcontractors, reducing the need for large equipment investments, inventory storage, or a large team. This asset-light company uses digital management programs to manage and execute projects, keeping up-front costs down and profit margins up. The current owner does some project management, along with oversight of operations.

 

With a well-established clientele, the company specializes in the management of construction projects which includes roofing, concrete or asphalt, turf installation, landscape construction, and snow removal.  Aside from snow removal, most services are large ticket construction services such as outdoor living spaces, concrete projects, repaving parking lots, or landscape construction.  They also provide Coronavirus Protective Services, including interior & exterior sanitation, physical barrier installation, board-up services, emergency electrical services, and emergency plumbing services.

Great growth is possible through networking and building the customer base, targeted advertising, or expanding the territory as allowed. All territories can be managed with a team of four or less, and with minimal office space per territory.

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 2020 Cash Flow value making the business price much more favorable to the buyer.

The formula used is as follows:

Cash Flow           x  Prescribed Multiple   =   Fair Market Value

 

With this information, the computation is as follows:

 

$1,533,254            x                3.5                 =        $5,366,389
