Business Overview:
An established, profitable Vermont fencing contractor with steady local demand, longstanding customer relationships and positive historical earnings. The Company sells, estimates and installs fencing for homeowners, farms and light commercial customers in Vermont. Residential work has historically made up roughly 75-80% of revenue, with agricultural and livestock fencing growing to about half of 2026 volume and a repeat business customer completing projects annually or semi-annually. Revenue increased 19% in 2025 to approximately $356K with a 63% gross margin and approximately $154K of Seller's Discretionary Earnings from a lean, home-based operation with no commercial lease. Most new leads arrive through online channels, supplemented by word-of-mouth and neighbor referrals, and the Company benefits from consistent inbound demand, repeat customer relationships and an established lead database. Jobs run on standardized contracts with 50% deposits and the balance due at completion, so the Company carries no receivables. Late-model installation equipment conveys with the business, and the Seller reports no litigation, liens or warranty issues.
The Seller also has another business where he wants to focus full time, and so he is looking for the right buyer to take what he has built and to grow it to the next level. Confidentiality is a concern for the Seller as he seeks just the right buyer, and so the location information provided in the ad is a nearby regional anchor and not the exact location of the Business. Business location and name will be shared once a qualified Buyer prospect is vetted.
NDA is required to receive comprehensive Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM) crafted by ProNova Partners.
Property Features and Assets:
<p>Facilities: Home-based operation with no commercial lease obligation. Storage and shop space is currently rented from a Seller-related entity at approx. $1,500 per month; a buyer will arrange its own storage / yard space.<br><br>A late-model heavy-duty work truck and a compact track loader are included in the sale, along with tools and small equipment. The Seller is retaining a utility tractor and a tractor-mounted post driver.<br><br></p>
Market Competition and Expansion:
<p>Competition: Fencing is a highly fragmented, local trade in which no company holds more than 5% of the national market. The Company competes on reputation, responsiveness and quality of installation, and its lead flow consistently exceeds what a single owner-operator can schedule.<br><br>Growth & Expansion: Add one or two installers to work the existing database of leads the owner could not service, book the full season by selling further ahead than the current three-month window, expand agricultural and livestock fencing, grow commercial accounts and formalize digital marketing. A Company that is already in this space has an excellent opportunity to combine capabilities and streamline operations to grow both top line and bottom-line earnings.<br></p>
