Business Overview:

Major Growth Potential

Long-standing outdoor living and structures business with a strong market presence, multiple dealer relationships, valuable inventory and equipment, and substantial untapped sales potential. Operating across Southern California, Southern Nevada, and Northern Arizona, the company specializes in high-quality patio structures, gazebos, sheds, steel buildings, carports, and related outdoor products.

The business has historically generated sales through trade shows, community events, active marketing, and customer outreach, but the current owner has intentionally operated on a largely passive, part-time basis. A motivated buyer who reintroduces these proven sales and marketing channels could significantly increase revenue.

Business Highlights

• Long Operating History: In business since 1978 with a recognized presence in the outdoor living and structures market.

• Multiple Revenue Streams: Authorized dealer for two major manufacturers, offering sheds and steel structures, along with additional direct product sales.

• Expanded Territory: Franchise/dealer agreements provide access to additional marketing territories.

• Showroom & Display Models: On-site showroom and floor models allow customers to view products in person and support the sales process.

• Lean, Experienced Team: Five full-time employees are currently in place, providing continuity for a new owner.

• Owner-Light Operation: Current owner works only part-time, creating substantial upside for an actively involved buyer.

• Seller Financing: Owner is willing to finance up to 50% of the $750,000 purchase price, subject to mutually agreeable terms.

• Transition Support: Seller is willing to remain involved for 6–12 months to assist with training and a smooth transition.

• Assets Included: Approximately $150,000 in FFE and $100,000 in inventory.

• Pipeline: Approximately $500,000 in steel building projects currently in the pipeline and awaiting permits.

Significant Growth Opportunity

The business is currently operating well below its historical marketing potential. Previous growth was driven in part by trade shows and active promotional efforts that are no longer being pursued. A new owner willing to increase participation in trade shows, community events, lead generation, advertising, and customer outreach could substantially expand sales.

The seller believes an aggressive, hands-on approach could potentially triple sales within the first year, although actual results will depend on execution and market conditions.

Optional Real Estate Acquisition

The business is located on approximately 8 acres with direct freeway frontage, providing an additional investment component. The real estate is available for $1.5 million in conjunction with the business.

• Recent property appraisal for $2.2M

• 5.37-acre parcel: Includes the business showroom, two-story office building, upstairs apartment, and approximately $5,200/month in rental income.

• 3-acre parcel: Includes four existing tenants generating approximately $3,500/month in rental income.

With a long operating history, experienced employees, multiple product lines, valuable assets, seller financing, existing rental income, and considerable room to increase sales and marketing activity, this business offers a buyer the opportunity to acquire a functioning operation and pursue meaningful growth through renewed hands-on ownership.
