🚀 Startup Spotlight

Discover profitable businesses and side-projects.

#1. Art Glasses & Metal Construction specialist (💸 $1.9M in Gross Revenue)

💰 Asking Price: $3,450,000

Great profitable business opportunity with the potential to expand. Art glasses and metal structures specialising in glass staircases glass railings plus all glass and metal sculpting related items.

The owner has been in business for over 20 years and is willing to stay and train the new owner, currently, they have contracts for more than one year.

Type: Construction

✅ Key Highlights

• Cash Flow - $1,911,320

• EBITDA - $614,000

• Sale comes with 3 trucks, equipment, inventory & lease

🚀 Growth Opportunities

• Hire a GM: With the amount of cashflow available, there’s opportunity to hire a GM to step in and run the business and help expand the salesforce.

• Geographic expansion: Currently located in Miami, the business could explore expanding its reach to other cities and states. Establishing satellite offices or partnerships in key metropolitan areas with a strong demand for luxury construction and unique architectural elements could open up new markets.

Couldn’t find any cons behind this business but at such a low valuation it does get me curious around the reason for it.

Current owner is looking to retire so could be eager to get the sale across the line.
