Investment Highlights
(1) Strong Base of Recurring Revenue: The Company handles all project stages, from initial design to ongoing maintenance. The Business maintains long-standing customer relationships that allow for approximately 15% of Company sales to be predictable recurring revenue. As the Company grows its customer base through new design projects, this recurring maintenance customer base is expected to increase.
(2) Focus on Commercial and Industrial projects: The Company generates approximately $97K of revenue on average per customer. By focusing on larger projects in niche industries, the Company can reduce customer acquisition costs while maintaining high margins from lack of competition.
Growth Opportunities
(1) Further Pursue Niche Market Opportunities: Much of the Company’s recent growth is attributable to an increasing focus on niche industries that are not as widely serviced by the broader market. As a greater portion of the Company’s revenue came from these niche industries, total sales volume and margins grew substantially. Building a reputation in these market segments could lead to sustained competitive advantage and superior financial performance.
(2) Increased Industry Affiliations: Part of the Company’s recent growth is due to revamped sales efforts and cementing a reputation within the industry. Many industry associations exist that Company has not pursued membership for. These memberships may increase recognition among customers and other industry operators, which could bolster sales in the future.
