High-Margin Flooring Distributor - $556K SDE, Easy to Run
$ 2,200,000
High-Margin Flooring Distributor - $556K SDE, Easy to Run, No Employees This is a rare opportunity to acquire a simple, highly profitable wholesale flooring distribution business built for the repeat buyer the retail model doesn’t serve. Big‑box chains are designed for homeowners — not builders, contractors, rehabbers, investors, or restoration companies who need consistent SKUs, deep in-stock inventory, and pricing that protects their margins. This company fills that gap. The operation is intentionally lean and easy to run: one owner, no employees, no installation, no job‑site work. The business simply imports proven products by the container, stocks running lines year‑round for immediate availability, and loads orders in minutes. Processes are streamlined, overhead is low, and demand is steady. More than 95% of revenue comes from organic, word‑of‑mouth repeat buyers. Trailing‑12 SDE is $556K on $1.82M revenue, with year‑over‑year growth and virtually no marketing or sales staff, leaving the core growth levers untouched. Included in the sale: a fully equipped warehouse with a below‑market lease, forklifts, delivery truck, racking, a 1,500+ customer database, and long‑standing direct‑import supplier relationships. Ideal for a hands‑on owner‑operator or a buyer/investor who prefers to install a manager and step back. The seller, a 30+ year industry veteran, will provide structured training and a smooth transition. Confidentiality is maintained throughout the process. The business name, exact location, and full CIM are provided only after a signed NDA and proof of funds. https://tworld.com/locations/Tennessee/nashville-metro/listings/High-Margin-Flooring-Distributor-556K-SDE-Easy-to-Run
