Architectural Metal Hardware Manufacturing Business for Sale

This business specializes in producing architectural metal hardware with a catalog sold at set prices, avoiding the job-shop bidding process. They fabricate products in-house from stainless steel and brass, serving commercial, hospitality, and multifamily sectors across the country. Approximately 85% of orders come through the company's e-commerce platform, eliminating the need for a sales force or large individual clients. The business has maintained steady revenue around $1.4 million for three consecutive years, with annual price increases of about 3% absorbed without losing volume. The owner has stepped back from production, relying on five skilled employees for fabrication and supported by an office manager. The company operates CNC forming equipment with excess capacity for growth without significant investment. Orders are typically shipped within 3 to 5 days, outpacing offshore competitors. However, marketing efforts have been minimal, presenting an opportunity for a new owner to expand visibility. The business is located in the Greater Houston area and requires an on-site owner. The current owner is retiring after over twenty years in the industry, and there is a preference for buyers who will maintain production in the U.S. SBA 7(a) financing is available, and property leasing can be arranged separately. A confidentiality agreement and proof of funds are necessary for access to financial details.
