Businesses for sale Summary

Opportunity to purchase established commercial sign shop near downtown Dallas. Established for over 20 years and has been at the current location since 1996. To view company website go to thriftysign.com. Approximately 1/3 of the customers are commercial real estate companies which order the plywood FOR SALE/FOR LEASE/FOR DEVELOPMENT signs that are built and installed by the seller. Very profitable, recession proof business.. Event driven industry that caters to businesses that are either opening, closing, moving/relocating or expanding.

Business operated by a total of 3 people including the owner all of which work on a full time basis. The owner handles the sales and administrative responsibilities. The other two employees include a production manager and a production/installer employee. Wide array of quality vendors that provide products and services not produced by the business. Computer based order entry system that is able to produce pricing on most of the orders and contains a 9 year old customer data base.

Potential to grow this company by brining in an outside sales person to solicit new customers and upsell existing customers. A number of customers are buying from other companies simply because they are not communicated with and therefore unaware that this business can supply all of their sign needs. Another way to increase profitability is to keep some of the tasks and processes that are being outsourced ”in-house.” Business needs a younger, more energetic individual that has the vision to be resourceful and is promotion & marketing minded.
