A Clean Deal - But Not a Simple Onesmart_display

This custom shade structures company is listed at $2.8M, generating about $3.23M in revenue and $805K in cash flow.

At first glance, this is exactly what a healthy mid-sized business should look like.

And when you run the numbers, it mostly checks out.

Deal Snapshot

Let’s run it through a standard SBA-style scenario.

Financing Overview

After debt, you’re left with about $402K per year.

That’s strong for a deal at this size.

Why This Works

This deal is balanced — and that’s rare.

• Fair pricing: 3.5x vs ~3.1x industry average.
• Healthy margins: 24.9% in line with ~25% industry norms.
• Strong cash flow: ~$400K after debt.
• Solid DSCR: 2.0 provides good cushion.

Nothing is stretched. Nothing is broken.

Why You Should Still Be Careful

This is not a passive business.

Even though the numbers look clean, this is still a project-based construction business.

• Revenue variability: Dependent on project pipeline.
• Execution risk: Delays, cost overruns, and job management.
• Labor dependency: Skilled crews are critical.
• Sales dependency: New jobs must constantly be sourced.

This isn’t a set-it-and-forget-it operation.

The Subtle Risk

Everything looks average — which means performance matters.

Unlike other deals where something is clearly broken, this one depends on:

• Consistent execution
• Stable pipeline
• Maintaining margins

If any of those slip, returns compress quickly.

What This Really Is

This is a “clean operator” deal.

• Not underpriced
• Not overpriced
• Just fairly valued

Which means your outcome depends more on execution than arbitrage.

BizHub Verdict

This deal scores an 8.1 / 10.

Strong fundamentals, fair pricing, and solid returns.

But this is a business you have to run well to keep it good.
