Deal Alert: Profitable Plumbing Biz in Wealthy Area — Semi-Absentee, SBA-Approved

📍 Location: Southern Indiana (affluent suburbs)
💰 Asking Price: $900K
💸 Revenue: $1.6M

🌟 Why This Business is Great:

✔ Runs Without You
Strong team in place, including office and project managers. You don’t need to be the one fixing pipes — it’s semi-absentee ready.

✔ Solid, Recurring Revenue
50% of income comes from service/repair work, meaning recurring calls, not just one-off jobs.

✔ Established & Trusted
In business since 1992 with strong word-of-mouth referrals and no real marketing. That’s trust built over decades.

✔ Fair Multiple
At 2.7x discretionary earnings, this isn’t overpriced. Especially considering it’s SBA-backed and has infrastructure in place.

✔ Growth Without Reinvention
They don’t run ads. The website’s weak. No sales team. This is low-hanging fruit for someone who knows how to build a brand or run basic marketing.

🚧 Challenges to Consider

❌ Heavy Inventory
With $345K in inventory, a chunk of your working capital is tied up from day one.

❌ No Digital Presence
The business has grown without marketing, but in 2025, that’s a limiting factor — and a huge opportunity.

❌ Growth Isn’t Turnkey
You’ll need to put in real work to expand. It won’t scale on autopilot without leadership and direction.

🚀 Growth Levers I See

🔹 Digital Makeover
Modernize the website, run local ads, and dominate Google Maps/local SEO. Most competitors aren’t doing it well.

🔹 Service Contracts
Lock in recurring revenue with commercial clients — think hotels, property managers, and HOAs.

🔹 Territory Expansion
Hire 1–2 more techs, expand to surrounding affluent zip codes. Demand is there — you just need the crew.

🔹 Brand Buildout
Build a real identity — logo, trucks, uniforms, the works. It adds trust and makes hiring easier too.

🔍 My Analysis:

This is a solid, steady business that’s already profitable and doesn’t rely on the owner doing the work. The team is in place, it’s been around for decades, and half the income is recurring from service jobs. There’s no real marketing, so a new owner could grow it just by improving the website, running some ads, or expanding nearby. The price is fair for what you get, especially with SBA financing. You will need to get involved at first and deal with some cash tied up in inventory, but overall it’s a clean, cash-flowing business with room to grow.
