Event Rental Firm with Real Estate, Tidewater Area

Not Disclosed, VA
Not disclosed

This is a rare chance to acquire a well-known, full-service event rental company that has been a go-to provider in the Tidewater market for thirteen years. The business has grown from a small local operation into a trusted partner for weddings, non-profits, churches, small festivals, with many clients booking year after year. The company offers a deep inventory of tents, tables, seating, dance floors, lighting, and other event essentials. Financially, the company benefits from a strong gross margin profile, a high level of repeat business, and a steady stream of booked events. There is no heavy dependence on a single customer or one-time project. Growth opportunities are clear and actionable. The business has grown largely on the strength of its reputation, relationships, and word-of-mouth in the area. There is meaningful upside in adding a focused sales effort, modern digital marketing, tighter outreach to planners and venues, and selective expansion into nearby markets and higher-value event segments. An acquirer with sales discipline or a complementary event business can unlock more value from this business. The owners are selling as part of a planned retirement and are committed to a smooth handover. They are open to a structured transition that helps the buyer retain key staff, protect customer relationships, and fully understand the company’s playbook.

Turnaround Opportunity: Great Location Music Store

Not Disclosed, VA
Not disclosed

For over 25 years, this neighborhood music store has provided lessons, rental instruments, and offered a full line of music gear for beginners to professional musicians in Northern Virginia.The Covid Lockdowns and extended school closures severely impacted this brick-and-mortar business's bottom line. Debt financing impacted profitability. Today, despite over $1M in gross sales, the business is not profitable due to the high cost of servicing the debt.This may seem bleak to the novice, but to the savvy investor, this is a great opportunity: The new owner takes a deep discount by either paying off, or assuming a low interest, 30-year, SBA loan plus closing costs and fees. The seller in return discharges all personally guaranteed debt. Now the business is cash flow positive, and the business is back in the black with monthly finance payments that are a fraction of one percent of sales.This business has been working with area schools for many years and offers students a full line of name brands including Strobel, Eastman Back, Yamaha, and Jupiter. The store has a variety of music teachers as well as repair specialists on staff, many of whom have been with the company from the start.For intermediate and professional musicians, the store carries a wide array of name brand guitars, keyboards, percussion, amplifiers, PA gear, and all the accessories needed to perform live.The business has an excellent POS system that tracts rentals, lessons, equipment, and instrument sales. It can provide accurate sales tax and inventory reports, and outputs to QuickBooks for accounting. An outside CPA firm provides quarterly reconciliation, payroll, and tax preparation.The Seller would like to stay on as part-time employee making less than $22,000 due to Social Security benefit restrictions.
