Description: This is a serious call for an investor that would be willing to finance $200,000. Total liquid assets are about $400,000 in inventory To gain more details about a nine year old company!!! I have more pictures if interested I was the operating manager for seven and the owner wants to leave Bakersfield and move to Fresno. Owner is motivated and his business is worth 3-4 times the asking price wants to sell me the business including all operating assets, tools, fleet of vehicles 7-8 . This is a serious call for an investor. The owner would vouche for me. I know this business inside and out. ROI would be great interest for two years. Or best reasonable offer. So a quick payback, and the liquid assets far outweigh the risk. BUYER IS MOTIVATED AND WILL PROVE ALL OPERATING PAST 9 year P&L, proof of inventory etc... (Phone # removed)FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED FOR THIS WIN, WIN INVESTMENT Events that affected success : fires in San Diego, Fires in Santa Barbara, increase in water/mold damages . Though extremely busy, were always able to be resourceful and complete our tasks efficiently Most important strengths and core competencies: The factors that will make the company succeed is continued hard work and dedication to each and every task at hand. Through community involvement and giving as thanks for the business we received. The major competitive strengths that have been developed over time are that of teamwork and sincere desire to do the best we can , as well as to not “pass the buck”. I had been the operational manager for 7 years 2001-2008. I personally coordinated most if not all mitigation events and had a huge part to play in the growth it saw through “boots on the ground” management and teamwork. Significant challenges the company faces now and in the near future: The challenge I have, is that I have all the know how in operating this business (as I personally operated it for seven years), but no funds to buy the business or working capital. $200,000.00 is needed. The business is way under valued and has a liquidity of assets 340,000 to 375,000 in total. Basically this is a business in a box opportunity. With all tools, contacts, sub-contractors, employees and ready work available. . Long term: My plans for the future are to expand the market through satellite operations in other larger cities this will bring considerable growth and new opportunities for the best employees such as part ownership. Each satellite will bring 175,000-200,000 in profit every year after first year. We will continue developing strategies for growth, increased production, diversification and market value. III. Products and Services We offer estimating, 24 hour services; fire damage board-ups, water damage dry outs, carpet and upholstery cleaning, inventory documentation, directly deal with insurance companies, mold remediation, smoke and odor removal, content pack out and storage. The factors that give us a competitive advantage: the level of quality, follow-up, dedication, experience and latest equipment. Our pricing structure is one generated by various insurance companies called Xactimate estimating software which is the most diverse, widely used in this field of business. IV. Marketing Plan Adjusters Spend time with insurance companies. Give them continued education courses quarterly in this field to allow them to better understand the job at hand and how our company has the tools and knowhow to achieve their desired result. Marketer Will go to each insurance agency and talk with individuals that receive calls from the insured on ways to improve or continue supplying the best service that can be delivered. Using published information such as industry profiles, trade journals, newspapers, magazines, census data, and demographic profiles. This type of information is available from public libraries, industry associations, chambers of commerce, vendors who sell to our industry, and government agencies. The Marketing Plan: Economics • Virtually recession proof . • Percentage share of the market 15% huge potential for growth. • Current demand in target market is high as virtually all home/business owners have insurance. • Some barriers to keep potential new competitors from flooding into the market: o High capital costs (equipment) o Consumer acceptance/brand recognition o Training/skills o Unique technology o Customers • Age 35-50 • Gender male/female • Location 150 square miles • Income level 40,000-236,000 year • Social class/occupation various • Education various Competition Most competition do not service all the areas that we do. Most “cherry pick” the jobs that they want only choosing the closest or least difficult. We never say no as we have worked from Stockton to San Diego and continue to keep up the quality of work in our base of operation. Are past referrals have always put us at the top of their list.
