Investment Highlights
Well Respected Company – The Company is well-known and respected among RV and Manufactured Housing manufacturers for two key reasons:
- Best Products for the Price – The founder of the Company has been doing business with Taiwanese, Japanese, and Chinese manufacturers for more than 40 years. His knowledge, experience, and relationships have enabled the Company to source the optimal suppliers that can reliably deliver quality product.
- Value-Added Products – A significant portion of the product that the Company sells is customized and designed to solve specific customer manufacturing challenges. These innovative solutions have translated into a broad and loyal customer base, as well as healthy margins for the Company.
Profitability & Stability – The Company consistently generates an average earnings of $500,000, which is equivalent to approximately 20% of revenue.
- The Company’s employees are very seasoned. Sales and earnings are very consistent year-over-year.
Growth Opportunities
Increase Inventory Volume of Select Products – A growth-oriented new owner could greatly increase the order volumes – thereby obtaining the maximum volume discounts from suppliers.
Increasing Inventory Variety – Expanding the number of products in stock would also be a good strategy to boost sales and also increase margins by allowing the Company to be more opportunistic. As it stands now, the Company must frequently buy from a competitor if the requested item is not in stock, which compresses margins.
Sales and Marketing – Marketing and lead generation efforts have been minimal at best. While focusing on serving existing customers exceedingly well has been a successful strategy for the Company for many years, the economy is particularly robust where the Company is headquartered and finding new customers would not be difficult.
