Description of the business for sale
This growing company performs installation and service of commercial signs. These include billboards, on-site retail storefront signs, commercial property signs, and large LED displays. The Company does not manufacture any signs, although it does subcontract manufacturing as part of its comprehensive service offer. Clients encompass all levels of local, regional, and national businesses who need signs installed or serviced as part of the marketing for their business. There are many repeat customers locally, and relationships with regional and national accounts are growing due to the focused efforts of an additional salesperson hired in 2007. Installations are currently overseen and coordinated by a field manager, which removes some of the oversight burden from the owner. There are two full-time salespeople, one of which is dedicated to serving local accounts while the other focuses on developing new business with regional and national accounts. All employees plan to remain with the Company through an ownership transition period and beyond. Call The DVS Group today for more information about this excellent opportunity.
Support / Training provided by seller
Support and training will depend on the buyer. This business could easily be run by someone with no previous sign experience; the current owner had none when he bought it. The owner will provide support as needed for up to 6 months, although depending on the buyer it may take significantly less time to get up to speed with the business. Financial and personnel management should be areas of strength for a new owner in order to continue growth begun by the current owner.
Description of the facilities
The Company began the final year of its lease in the current location on February 1, 2008. Rent for the remaining year will be $2,400 per month. The facility is 7,000 square feet of office and storage space, and is only 40% utilized at the moment. Office space and shop space are more than sufficient for the current business levels.
