Deal Alert: Multi-Location Printing & Direct Mail Business With ~$2M Revenue + 90% Repeat Customers

📍 Location: Colorado & Wyoming (Front Range Region)
💰 Asking Price: ~$712K
📈 Revenue: ~$1.9M–$2.25M
📊 SDE: ~$165K (~8–9% margins)
🖨 Industry: Printing, Direct Mail & B2B Services

🌟 Why This Business Is Great:

✔ Sticky, Repeat Customer Base (Biggest Strength)

This is the first thing that stands out.

~90% of revenue comes from repeat customers.

That’s very high.

👉 Businesses rely on them regularly
👉 Relationships already built
👉 Revenue is predictable

This reduces:

• Customer acquisition risk
• Marketing dependency
• Revenue volatility

In simple terms…

You’re not constantly chasing new customers to survive.

✔ “Boring” B2B Service With Real Demand

This isn’t a trendy business.

It’s a service business that just keeps running.

Core services:

• Direct mail campaigns
• Commercial printing
• Copying services

The model:

👉 Businesses need marketing materials
👉 They outsource it
👉 They reorder again and again

It’s not exciting…

But it’s consistent.

✔ Established, Multi-Location Operation

This is not a small, fragile setup.

👉 3 locations
👉 ~38 years under current ownership
👉 Deep local presence
👉 GM already managing operations

This matters a lot.

You’re stepping into:

👉 Existing systems
👉 Existing team
👉 Existing reputation

Not building from zero.

✔ Revenue Down, Profit Up (Good Signal)

Over the last 3 years:

👉 Revenue declined
👉 Profit increased

That usually means:

• Cost control improved
• Operations became more efficient
• Focus shifted to better jobs

This is actually a positive signal…

If you understand why it happened.

✔ Real Estate + Asset Backing

Two locations are owned.

👉 Adds underlying asset value
👉 Reduces rent risk
👉 Gives financing flexibility

Plus:

• Equipment
• Vehicles
• Long-standing infrastructure

This isn’t just a “digital” business with no assets.

⚠️ What a Buyer Needs to Underwrite Carefully:

⚠ Industry Headwinds (Printing Isn’t Growing Fast)

Let’s be honest:

Printing is not a high-growth industry.

👉 Some demand shifting to digital
👉 Postage costs increasing
👉 Volume pressure in direct mail

You need to believe:

👉 This business can adapt
👉 Or focus on niches that still work

⚠ Margin Profile (Relatively Thin)

~8–9% margins.

That’s not high.

👉 Limited room for mistakes
👉 Requires operational discipline

You’ll want to review:

• Pricing
• Job profitability
• Labor efficiency

⚠ Operational Business (Not Passive)

This is a real operation.

👉 Staff management
👉 Production workflow
👉 Customer coordination

Even with a GM…

You still need oversight.

⚠ Revenue Decline Needs Context

Revenue dropped from ~$2.25M → ~$1.9M.

Main reason:

👉 Postage cost increases
👉 Lower mailing volumes

But you need to confirm:

👉 No customer concentration loss
👉 No competitive pressure

⚠ Limited Marketing = Risk + Opportunity

Right now:

🚨 Almost no marketing
🚨 No structured growth engine

That’s risky…

But also where the upside is.

🚀 Where the Upside Could Come From:

This is an optimization play.

Not a turnaround.

Growth levers:

• Add local SEO + Google Ads
• Bundle print + direct mail services
• Upsell existing repeat clients
• Introduce design/marketing services
• Expand B2B outreach

Strategic angle:

👉 Strong base business
👉 Under-marketed
👉 Relationship-driven

With the right operator:

👉 Revenue can stabilize and grow
👉 Margins can improve
👉 Business becomes more modernized

🏷️ Valuation:

~4.3x SDE (based on ~$165K)

That’s:

👉 Fair, maybe slightly full

But justified by:

• Long history
• High repeat revenue
• Multi-location setup

Key point:

👉 You’re buying stability—not hyper growth

🔍 My Analysis:

This is a classic “boring business” that actually makes money, which I like. The biggest strength here is the repeat customer base—90% is not normal, and it gives real stability to the revenue. I also like that the business has been around for decades and already has a team and structure in place, so you’re not starting from zero. At the same time, it’s not highly optimized—there’s almost no marketing and margins are relatively thin, which means execution matters. The revenue decline needs to be understood, but since profits are going up, it looks more like adjustment than deterioration. This is not a passive investment and not a high-growth tech play, but for the right operator, it’s a stable base with clear ways to improve and grow over time.

Recent Acquisition Stories:
Zijin Doubles Down on Gold With $2.6B Deal

Zijin Mining is making a bold move to strengthen its position as China’s top gold producer by acquiring a major stake in Chifeng Jilong Gold for $2.6B. The deal gives Zijin close to 26% ownership through a mix of existing shares and newly issued stock. Despite the strategic intent, the market reacted negatively in the short term, with both companies’ shares dropping after the announcement.

💭 My Take

This is a classic scale play in a commodity business where size matters. In industries like mining, bigger players win through better access to capital, operational efficiencies, and long-term control over reserves. The short-term stock drop doesn’t concern me much—it’s often the market reacting to dilution or uncertainty. What matters is that Zijin is consolidating supply and increasing control in a sector where demand (especially for gold) tends to hold strong over time.

If anything, this reinforces a simple lesson for buyers: in fragmented or resource-driven industries, consolidation is one of the most powerful ways to create value. The best buyers aren’t waiting—they’re using size to dominate.

Success Story

Check out what one of our members recently accomplished :

• Nicholas is making steady progress. He recently met with a business owner, but the seller went with another buyer before he even had a chance to review the financials. He’s now digging into a new opportunity—an Assisted Living Facility—but ran into challenges calculating the EBITDA. To get clarity, he reached out to our support team for help breaking down the P&L and is also pushing for a face-to-face meeting with the owner to better understand her motivations for selling.

  He mentioned that the stress he used to feel is fading, thanks to how clear and structured the teaching has been.
