Renowned Bootstrapped Fitness Company
$9,000,000
Annual Revenue: $8,333,098 Net Cash Flow: $2,016,518

Established, multi-division fitness company based in the UAE boasts impressive organic growth, fueled by a debt-free model and partnerships with prominent government and international hotel entities. The business is run independently from the owners by a General Manager who will continue to stay on after the sale.

Despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the company saw revenue of $6.0m in 2022, with an EBITDA margin of 28%. In 2023, revenue increased to $7.m with an EBITDA of $1.2m. The 2023 level of EBITDA margin is unusually low because the company had gone through a year of capacity growth and investment for one large project. In 2024 the EBITDA levels will normalize to around $2m.

Note: Both the annual revenue and the net cash flow numbers at the top of the page are represented by the company’s 2024 estimated numbers.

The company has achieved a long history of progressive expansion and delivering growth across multiple revenue streams. To date, the company has grown to 150 employees and more than 20 operational locations across UAE. Having multiple service offerings is beneficial because (a) it creates cross-sell opportunities and (b) attracts large organizations that want to offer a complete (rather than limited) set of services to their employees.

Revenue is projected to reach $10.5m in 2027E, with an EBITDA margin of 26%.

This well-respected service business has been a Long Island staple for over 70 years. It provides prompt, professional, and courteous service and has been rewarded with an ever-growing and loyal customer base built almost entirely on word of mouth! The business practically runs itself, with the owner working only a few hours per week.

The company’s professional technicians have expertise in repair service on all makes/ models of appliances ranging from washers/dryers, ovens, stoves,  refrigerators, barbecue grills, etc. Specializing in luxury brand repair, the firm is the preferred authorized servicer for Viking, LaCornue, Lynx, Broan, and others and receives many referrals from both manufacturers and distributors. Recent technological upgrades implemented by management and ownership often facilitate same-day service, improving profitability while simultaneously enhancing customer satisfaction.

The business is both recession and pandemic-proof, as evidenced by its 35% growth year-over-year on topline numbers the last two years and an average bottom-line spike of 30%! Scaling is easily accomplished through expansion of geographical service area, advertising/marketing, and adding complementary offerings such as dryer vent cleaning, BBQ cleaning, and maintenance contracts. Completing this outstanding opportunity is a fleet of service vehicles fully stocked, a tenured office team committed to providing exemplary customer service, a professional, factory-trained technical staff, and an owner willing to stay on for an extended transition.

Buying an Absentee Owner Business

Absentee-owner businesses are desirable for potential business buyers. Some are fully absentee-owned, and some of the owners work part-time but don’t necessarily need to be at the business. In some cases, the owner does the books or some other job that they like to do or feel the need to do. The attraction for buyers is that they can buy the business as an investment and still continue to do what they are doing full-time.

Sell an Absentee Owned Company
