Listing ID: 2306821

Listing Status: Reduced Price

Description

This is a highly profitable, well-established wholesale distribution and delivery company located in the booming Charleston metro. This company requires minimal management, yet averages almost $3M per year in gross sales. After more than 40 years of operating as a family-owned business, the Seller is looking for the right buyer to take this operation to the next level. The simple business model and loyal customer base present a great opportunity for any buyer, whether it’s a motivated entrepreneur looking to grow the operation, another fuel delivery business looking to expand their client base, or a highly-driven owner-operator with the potential to personally net $200k+.

Average gross sales, last 3 years (2021, 2022, 2023): ~$3M
Average discretionary earnings, last 3 years: ~$190k

With more than 4 decades of successful operation and a solid reputation for quality and reliability, this fuel delivery company provides a simple business model with high profit potential. Customers include industrial, institutional, commercial, and residential, with new customers coming almost solely from referrals.

The valuation and list price for this business do not include the purchase of the trucks currently being used for operations. Two trucks are currently leased to this company by a sister company, and this cost is already reflected in the valuation of the business. Seller would be open to negotiating the purchase of these trucks as an add-on to the listed price, or Buyer can purchase/lease/use their own truck(s) to meet their own needs.

This business offers huge potential for growth and development, as there has been minimal marketing or efforts to expand this business in recent years. New customers have come mainly via word of mouth and referrals by current customers, and the Seller has regularly turned down business opportunities outside of their relatively-compact current service area. It would be easy to expand operations with additional drivers, trucks, advertising/prospecting, and expanded service area.

As we expect significant interest in this business, and to maintain full confidentiality, any interested parties will be expected to sign a non-disclosure agreement AND complete a buyer qualification screening before receiving additional information about the company. So, please: serious inquiries only.
