Business started in 1996. In the last 6 years sales growth has averaged 13.3% per year. Even in this economy business increased almost 6% in 2008 and is estimated to grow over 4% in 2009. Business is presently being legally operated as a home business in Danbury, CT. The house (10 rooms, 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths) is also for sale for $499,000.
The business is presently being run with the Owner’s (husband & wife) and one part timer. The husband also has a full time career with flexible hours in another field. The Owners started this business for extra income, but over the years and with hundreds of satisfied repeat customers the business has grown to be a full time enterprise but being run as it always has – the husband and 1 other employee doing the work and the wife handling the office. Due to the dissolution of the partnership a new Owner can (if they want) expand the business and take it to the next level.
Sales for 2009 is going to be over $265,000 – imagine what a new Owner with several employees could do. I won’t say this business is recession proof – but it almost is! Owner’s Cash Flow is estimated over $80,000 as the business is presently being operated which includes a deduction for the wife’s labor and a new Owner renting space for the vehicles, inventory & equipment.
The business is presently being operated out of their home (legal use). Recently built 3 bay garage is used for the 2 late model company vehicles and storage of inventory and equipment.

It is located in Danbury, CT off a state road in the middle of the area the business serves which are the towns of Danbury, New Fairfield, Bethel, Ridgefield, Brookfield, Redding, New Milford, Kent, Washington etc. Their mailing list has homes in other towns too! The Owner’s Cash Flow sited above includes a rent deduction in case someone is only buying the business and renting space somewhere. The price of the house is $499,000. The business is selling for $174,000 plus inventory (approximately $7,000).
