The narrative

A look inside Established Plumbing Company (120+ Years), Low Multiple and Big Upside.

- Low multiple reflecting that the owner is the only employee, opportunity to build team around owner through transition period - SBA Pre-Qualified - Asking price includes ~$115K+ of fixed assets (3 vehicles + ~$75K in supporting equipment) - A rare opportunity to acquire a 120+ year old, recession-resilient plumbing service business with one of the strongest legacy brands in the Indianapolis market - Operations currently run with minimal overhead and virtually no marketing, creating substantial upside for a hands-on operator or strategic buyer - The Company has significantly more demand than it can service. Modernizing dispatching, adding tech infrastructure, expanding staff, and re-activating marketing channels represent immediate growth levers - Founded in the early 1900s, the Company has maintained a trusted reputation built over generations. Supported by a 45,000+ customer database - 250,000+ branded water-heater stickers installed across the city - Consistently stable annual revenue of ~$500K over the last four years - The Company delivers a comprehensive suite of high-margin plumbing services, including water heater installations (~50% of revenue), water softeners, sump pumps, leak detection, frozen pipes, full-home plumbing systems, and general repairs - Approximately ~50% of all jobs come from repeat clients
