From $500K Down to $2.5M Cash Flow – Inside an $8M Construction Empire
A rare chance to own a New York high-rise interiors powerhouse with $17M+ in signed contracts, flexible financing, and a proven 100-person team.


Deal Analysis – The $8M Construction Giant You Could Own for $500K Down
📍 Location: Yonkers, NY (Westchester County)
🏷️ Asking Price: $8,000,000
💰 Cash Flow: $2,500,000 | 📈 Gross Revenue: $20,000,000
📊 Business Type: High-Rise Multifamily Construction Interiors
📈 Ownership: Single Owner (Flexible Deal Structure – Possible Entry at $500K Down)
In the world of business acquisitions, there are “good deals”… and then there are game changers.
Today’s feature is the latter — a multi-million-dollar New York construction powerhouse with $17M+ in active signed contracts, a full 100-person workforce, and the kind of market reputation you can’t buy overnight. Even better? You could step into ownership for as little as $500K down.
If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a big-league, cash-flowing operation that’s already locked and loaded with work, this is the kind of opportunity that doesn’t just build wealth — it builds an empire.
Why This Deal is Turning Heads
There are construction businesses… and then there are construction empires.
This Yonkers-based firm isn’t a “small crew in a van” operation — it’s a 100-employee machine with $17M+ in active signed contracts and a track record that reads like a who’s who of NYC/NJ real estate developers.
They specialize in high-rise multifamily interiors — think:
Framing, drywall, insulation
Acoustic ceilings, trim, hardware
Kitchen cabinetry installation for luxury builds
In a market where developers value speed, reliability, and proven performance, this company has positioned itself as a go-to subcontractor for major GCs. Their established vendor and GC relationships are golden — and not easily replicable.
The “Why Now” Factor
The seller isn’t exiting because of trouble. Quite the opposite — this is a turnkey, profitable, scalable business. The owner is even willing to structure a deal where you could take control with as little as $500K down.
In acquisition terms, that’s the equivalent of buying a skyscraper… for the price of a two-bedroom condo.
What’s Working in Their Favor
$17M+ in Backlog → Revenue certainty for the next 12+ months.
Proven Workforce → 100 employees, including project managers who can run jobs without you micromanaging.
NY/NJ Market Power → High-barrier-to-entry market with massive demand for multifamily housing.
Scalable Systems → Operational processes already in place — you’re stepping into a running engine.
Comparable Deals in the Niche
A NJ-based interior carpentry contractor doing $15M in revenue sold last year for $6.2M — with fewer signed contracts.
A Brooklyn drywall/interiors firm (just $8M revenue) went for $3.5M, but with no dedicated project management team.
Compared to these comps, this Yonkers deal is priced in line but comes with more contracts, more revenue, and more scale.
Financing: How to Buy This Without Dropping $8M in Cash
Scenario 1 – SBA 7(a) Loan
Down Payment: $800K (10%)
SBA finances $7.2M over 10 years at ~10% interest
Monthly payment: ~$95K
Annual debt service: ~$1.14M
Net cash flow after debt: ~$1.36M/year
Scenario 2 – Seller Financing + SBA Hybrid
$500K down payment
Seller carries $1.5M note over 5 years at 6% interest
SBA finances the remaining $6M
Lower upfront risk + seller aligned in your success
Scenario 3 – Investor Partnership
Bring in an investor to cover the down payment in exchange for equity (e.g., 25%)
You operate the business and take a salary + profit share
💡 Pro Tip: In a business with $2.5M in cash flow, your return on invested capital could exceed 100% in year one depending on structure.
What to Do (and Not to Do) if You Buy This
✅ Do: Keep the leadership & crews intact — they’re the asset.
✅ Do: Leverage the backlog to secure more GCs while cash flow is strong.
✅ Do: Explore vertical integration — cabinetry manufacturing, pre-fab wall systems.
❌ Don’t: Over-leverage on debt just because you can.
❌ Don’t: Cut project management costs — this is where projects go over budget.
❌ Don’t: Try to “learn on the job” in NYC construction without an experienced COO.
