This sign installation and painting business started big in 1991, installing large-scale, hand-painted outdoor advertisements for household brands. It has since evolved and expanded its services without compromising the deep-rooted values established by its founders.

The businessโ€™s approach has earned them a customer churn rate of less than 5%.

Type: Traditional Business

โœ… Key Highlights

  • $483,464 Gross Revenue

  • $138,275 in Cashflow

  • Churn < 5%

  • Equipment estimated at $65,000

๐Ÿš€ Growth Opportunities

  • Real Estate: Purchasing real estate and billboard permits & leases is a prime opportunity to expand the business.

  • Design & Sales Team: The addition of a design and sales team also has the potential to improve expansion efforts and market reach. Returning to the companyโ€™s roots and re-introducing hand-painted signs presents another opportunity to add to an already solid service roster.

๐ŸšฉCons

  • Limited Scalability Without Real Estate Ownership: The growth insight provided suggests that purchasing real estate and billboard permits & leases is essential for expanding the business. However, acquiring real estate and permits can be capital-intensive and may involve complex negotiations with property owners and regulatory authorities. Additionally, without owning the necessary real estate assets, the business's scalability may be limited, as it would rely heavily on external factors and partnerships to access prime advertising locations, hindering its ability to expand geographically and compete effectively in the market.
