Deal Alert: Profitable Design & Construction Firm with Huge Upside

📍 Location: Relocatable (Currently U.S.-Based)
💰 Asking Price: $4M (+ $400K in inventory & FF&E)
💸 Revenue: $8.54M (2022)
🧾 Asset Sale: Established brand, staff, equipment, and proven track record

🌟 Why This Business is Great:

✔️ Massive Profitability with Low Overhead
In 2022 alone, the company brought in $8.54M in revenue with just $4.39M in expenses — resulting in a staggering $4.15M in profit. That’s a 94% return on a $4.4M investment in year one. This is rare. It’s a sign of operational efficiency, cost control, and a high-margin business model.

✔️ Relocatable = Strategic Flexibility
Unlike many construction businesses tied to local permits or geography, this one can be moved. That opens up opportunity to shift operations closer to high-growth markets or talent hubs, or align with the buyer’s lifestyle — a unique competitive advantage.

✔️ Established Brand with Systems in Place
With over $8M in top-line revenue, this company isn’t a solo contractor — it’s a well-run operation with processes, vendor relationships, and repeat clients. It’s a true “plug and play” opportunity, ready for a buyer to scale or systematize further.

✔️ Industry-Resilient Demand
Construction and renovation demand continues to stay strong, especially for firms that combine design and build capabilities. The integrated model allows for higher margins and deeper customer relationships — which this company is already leveraging.

🚧 Challenges & Considerations:

❌ Owner Transition Risk
The owner is retiring, which is why this opportunity is available. It’s essential to ensure a smooth transition of client relationships, key employees, and ongoing projects. A 60–90 day transition plan would help mitigate any operational risk.

❌ Customer Concentration Risk (TBD)
We don’t yet know if revenue is diversified across multiple clients or concentrated with just a few. That’s a key item to validate in due diligence — but the size of the business suggests there’s some level of diversification already.

❌ Scaling Requires Operational Talent
If you’re looking to grow this business further, you’ll either need to step in as a strategic operator or hire experienced management. That said, even at current performance levels, it’s already a cash-flow beast.

🚀 Opportunities I See:

🔹 Geographic Expansion or Franchising
With relocatability baked in, you can launch in a new region or even explore franchising/licensing the model. The demand for quality design-build firms is nationwide — and this one has proof of concept.

🔹 Marketing Uplift = Revenue Boost
Current marketing spend is just $300K — that’s 3.5% of revenue. Increasing that even slightly with targeted digital campaigns or partnerships could unlock major new project pipelines. Think 10–20% top-line growth without heavy capex.

🔹 Exit Play: Roll-Up or Strategic Buyer
This could be an anchor acquisition for a larger roll-up in the construction space. With clean financials and high margins, it’s also an attractive asset for a private equity buyer or regional competitor looking for bolt-ons.

🔍 My Analysis:

This deal is a rare gem. You’re getting a business that made over $4 million in profit last year, with a total investment of just $4.4 million — that’s nearly a 1:1 return. It’s already established, profitable, and has room to grow with better marketing or a strategic location shift. The fact that it’s relocatable gives you flexibility, and the current owner is retiring, which means you’re stepping into a business that’s ready for new energy. Whether you want to grow it or just enjoy the strong cash flow, this is the kind of deal M&A buyers dream about.

Chorus Aviation Acquires Elisen & Associates

Chorus Aviation has announced the acquisition of Elisen & Associates, a Montreal-based aerospace engineering and certification firm. Founded in 1997, Elisen is renowned for its complex engineering work across a variety of sectors, including commercial and military aircraft modifications, as well as sustainable aviation projects. Their notable contributions include work on the Airbus A220 and Bell helicopters. The deal, expected to close by the end of the year, will be paid using available cash and will not significantly affect Chorus' overall financials.

My Take: Strategic Growth in Aerospace

This acquisition is a smart move by Chorus Aviation to deepen its technical capabilities in aerospace engineering. By acquiring a company with a proven track record in both civilian and defense projects, Chorus expands its portfolio and strengthens its position in the rapidly evolving aviation sector. Although the deal may not significantly move the needle on Chorus’ earnings immediately, it’s a clear signal of long-term strategy to bolster its market presence and technical expertise, especially in sustainable aviation, which is becoming increasingly important.
