Commercial Plumbing Contractor LA County $1.87M Sales business for sale

A highly profitable Los Angeles–based commercial new construction and tenant improvement plumbing contractor with $1.87 million in revenue and $604,014 in discretionary earnings is now available for acquisition.

Buyer Skills and Requirements:

The owner is actively running the business, and the buyer must be willing and capable of learning to run the business.  While the buyer does not necessarily have to be a trained plumber, they must be willing and capable of learning the technical aspects of this business, including preparing bids and managing projects.  This is not a passive owner business.

The Seller is the RMO (Responsible Managing Officer) for the C-36 plumbing license, which is the license qualifier for the corporate license.  The buyer(s) will have to replace the Seller as the RMO.

The SBA also stated the RMO or RME must be a buyer listed on the purchase agreement with equity in the business and a signer on the loan.  SBA lenders cannot accept an employee RME.

Check with your SBA lender for their specific licensing requirements.  Check the CSLB website for C-36 license qualifications and requirements.
