This is a rare chance to acquire a well-known, full-service event rental company that has been a go-to provider in the South Florida market for nearly four decades. The business has grown from a small local operation into a trusted partner for corporate events, municipalities, schools, festivals, hotels, planners, and high-end private functions, with many clients booking year after year.

The company offers a deep inventory of tents, structures, tables, seating, linens, décor, catering equipment, flooring, staging, and other event essentials. Because everything from warehousing to logistics is managed under one roof with an experienced team and a seasoned General Manager, the business can handle everything from intimate gatherings to large, complex events without needing the owners on-site for every job.

Financially, the company benefits from a strong gross margin profile, a high level of repeat business, and a steady stream of booked events. The current trailing twelve months through September show revenue of $1.63 million and SDE of $486,182, with no heavy dependence on a single customer or one-time project. The owners have kept the business debt-free and have reinvested in equipment, fleet, and systems over time to maintain service quality.

From an operational standpoint, this is a true platform acquisition. A capable General Manager runs day-to-day operations, supported by office staff, warehouse crew, drivers, and event teams. The next owner can step into a stable, well-organized operation with clear roles, proven processes, and a strong culture of getting events right the first time.

Growth opportunities are clear and actionable. The business has grown largely on the strength of its reputation, relationships, and word-of-mouth in the Tri-County area. There is meaningful upside in adding a focused sales effort, modern digital marketing, tighter outreach to planners and venues, and selective expansion into nearby markets and higher-value event segments. An acquirer with sales discipline, additional capital, or a complementary event business can unlock more value without needing to rebuild the core operation.

The owners are selling as part of a planned retirement and are committed to a smooth handover. They are open to a structured transition that helps the buyer retain key staff, protect customer relationships, and fully understand the company’s playbook.
