Facilities: Four Oklahoma warehouse/shop facilities with approximately 52,600 square feet. Locations have a professional appearance and were strategically chosen to provide adequate market coverage. Each location features access to major thoroughfares, between 8 and 16 bays and sufficient shelving for inventory. Management has indicated the facilities are capable of accommodating substantial business growth.

Market Outlook
Competition: Demand for automotive services and/or replacement tires is driven by vehicle usage, which in turn depends on economic activity. The profitability of individual companies depends on convenient location and good marketing. The business has a diversified customer base of 3,000+ active accounts. Individual business customers comprise 90% of the customer base, while commercial firms comprise the balance of revenue (10%). According to management, 90% of business is derived from individuals and commercial business within a three mile radius of these retail locations.

Growth and Expansion of Business: Management cites significant opportunities to grow business revenues and profits above and beyond the projections. The business has recently negotiated additional tire agreements with other tire manufacturers. These dealer agreements will broaden the current selection of tires, bolster revenue and strengthen financial security. The pursuit of the industrial vehicle market as a future strategic endeavor would require additional capital but could improve sales by as much as 40% overall.

Asking: Not Disclosed
Gross: $1,575,000
Business Cash Flow: $192,000

Summary Description
Business founded in 1960 with current ownership since 1977. Our Client is a wholesale distributor of over 6,500 air conditioning, heating and plumbing products. Strengths include a superior business name and reputation, high quality products, exceptional customer service, outstanding growth opportunities and strong customer and supplier relationships. Economically, this business represents a sound investment opportunity as a stand alone purchase. Buyers with existing Plumbing and HVAC operations in place will be able to add substantial value to this business with increased marketing, geographic expansion and the extension of the product line. Business sales have grown at a compound growth rate of 7.7% since 2003 and are expected to reach $1,997,000 by 2011. The principals are pleased with the success they have achieved. The business is well positioned for continued growth but new ownership with greater capital and human resources may be better suited to take the business to the next level.

General Information
Year Business Established: 1960
Employees: 8
Facilities: Two separate locations total 39,200 square feet. Each Oklahoma facility functions as an office/warehouse.

Market Outlook
Competition: The business operates in a highly competitive industry, where participants are smaller regional distributors. Customer service, high quality products and product availability contribute to a 95% rate of repeat business. Three companies compete in the immediate market. 56% of business sales are to air conditioning and heating contractors and 44% to plumbing companies. There are approximately 150 long-standing commercial business accounts. These relationships are expected to remain intact after the sale.

Growth and Expansion of Business: The business has enjoyed accelerated growth since current ownership took control in 1977. Given appropriate investments in capital assets and human resources, management cites significant opportunities to grow revenues and profits above and beyond the current business projections. Opening additional locations would quickly provide geographic expansion and increased sales. Adding refrigeration equipment and parts to the already extensive product line represents another avenue of business growth.

Gross: $368,713
Business Cash Flow: $197,727

Summary Description
The owners established their Day Care Center in 1997 and have seen it become one of the most respected child care centers in the area. The teachers do not merely "baby-sit" children, they interact with them so they develop emotionally, intellectually and socially. Parents and families appreciate the quality care and education provided by the teachers and support staff as well as excellent communication concerning their children. This is a safe and secure center with age appropriate toys, equipment and learning activities. Oklahoma is one of the more progressive states in its efforts to ensure the health and safety of children in licensed care. The owners have gone beyond the minimum standards required by the Oklahoma Department of Human Services, Child Care Division. By meeting additional criteria the Center has obtained Two-Star status. With the increasing number of households in which both parents work full time, this industry has been one of the fastest growing in the U.S. economy. Almost 12 million children in the U.S. are under age 5 — that’s 63% — and in some type of child care arrangement every week. During 2004–2014, the number of children under age 5 is expected to increase at a faster rate than in previous years. School-aged children, who generally require child care only before and after school, are increasingly being cared for in centers.

General Information
Year Business Established: 1997
Employees: 9 Ft, 4 PT, 1 Ft Owner/Director
Facilities: Main building is 3,680 sq ft with additional storage building of 288 sq ft. Facilities can be expanded by approximately 1,000 sq ft.

Market Outlook
Competition: There are four other centers within a 1½ mile radius, all are Two-Star and at 100% capacity

Growth and Expansion of Business: Revenues have increased at a compound annual growth rate of 14.7% since 2004. Maximum expansion of facilities would provide additional revenues of at least $131,000 per year. Growth and success have been driven by the Company’s outstanding reputation for offering quality care and education in an enjoyable and safe environment. Revenues can also be increased by obtaining a Three-Star rating. The Oklahoma Department of Human Services recognizes that accreditation can be costly and has increased subsidy reimbursement rates upon earning Three-Star status.

Type: Established commercial business for sale
Category: Retail – Services – Educational Services

Location: South Central U.S.

Financials
Asking: Not Disclosed
Gross: $1,120,000
Business Cash Flow: $261,000

Summary Description
Our client provides consulting services, as well as customized tests and books to schools throughout its home state. The Company prides itself on developing products and services tailored to specific statewide standards and objectives. Consulting services have historically generated the majority of the Company’s annual revenue; however, in recent years, management has seen a significant increase in test sales. This trend is expected to continue as all schools benefit from the Company's tests and books, not just low-performing schools in need of consulting services. Success in the industry is largely driven by the following factors: fast adjustments made to changing regulations, access to highly skilled workforce, a high prior success rate (including completed prior contracts), market research and understanding, a good reputation, understanding government policies and their implications. The Company's success in these areas contributes to a consistent rate of repeat business.

General Information
Year Business Established: 1987
Employees: 6 FT, 1 PT
Facilities: Leases a 2,000 square foot building utilized for all in-house activities. The Company has occupied the facility since 2000 at an annual lease rate of $12,000; however, the current lease agreement expires in 2007. The building is expected to provide ample capacity to accommodate substantial growth.
Competition: The Company utilizes a hands-on development program, marketing itself through the many activities. The overall level of competition is low. This industry includes various segments, and establishments tend to specialize in one segment area. According to analysts, the educational testing and consulting segments of this industry have experienced strong growth in recent years which is expected to continue. Schools and administrators are increasingly seeking advice from specialist consultants in order to improve their performance.

Market Outlook
Growth and Expansion: Management is expecting growth in all divisions to continue, as state and federal performance standards are becoming more stringent, resulting in more schools in need of assistance. Sales for 2012 are projected to be $1,170,000. To further increase revenues, the current products and services could be tailored to fit educational guidelines in other states; new products and services can be developed and by offering services in other areas such as franchising opportunities or opening satellite offices.

About the Sale
Support/Training: The owner is willing to remain through the transition period, and would entertain remaining with new management for a longer period of time on a consultancy basis.
Reason for Sale: Owners wish to retire
