This is the dominant provider of air conditioning servicing on Kauai. The business is price at less than 3x Seller's Discretionary Earnings. Initial discussions regarding possible bank financing have already started. Primary bank concern is an owner/manager with sufficient background in the industry. For existing businesses, there is probably the ability to eliminate $25,000 - $50,000 in annual expenses depending on whether or not the business already has a current industrial building on Kauai. Existing employees have all been with the company more than 2 years. While revenues in 2008 were at record levels, the company has typically always gross over $1.4 million.

Facilities: The company currently operates out of a retail/warehouse building in Kalaheo. Upon expiration of the lease in 3 years, the Buyer might consider moving the business to a more central location.

Competition: This is the dominant local provider of these services. Relatively few competitors.

Growth/Expansion: Kauai, Hawaii is among the most expensive communities in the US for electricity. As oil costs rise, so do local electrical rates. It is estimated that any air conditioner on Kauai older than 5 years is a candidate for replacement given the substantial improvement in electrical efficiency in air conditioners over this period. And the requirement that HCFC syetms be limited to already existing HCFC gas just increases the need for older air conditioning units to be replaced.

Financing: Broker has met with prospective bankers. Cashflow supports $1 million+ loan

Support/Training: Training and support is negotiable. The Seller will be glad to consider any proposal.

Reason Selling: Retirement
