Description

If you believe Nova Scotia's population has year of growth ahead, that energy efficiency is a critical decision factor in new home construction, and you have a love for construction and delivering not just a house but a dream, then this will be worth your attention.

We only work with established, profitable, bankable businesses and this is a well established operation with a strong reputation that has chosen only to service so many new builds a year. They have passed on the option of growth to maintain a stable base for ease of management and to maintain a personal lifestyle, even though there is a waiting list of customers wanting them to build for them.

Located in a major commercial hub outside of HRM, this operation is in a great position today after having a few different years through the pandemic with restrictions, supply constraints, and some fixed contracts where costs were escalating. A long history of operations and a few learning opportunities along the way have allowed this business to be well positioned for whatever is to come along, including a new owner.

Staff of + or - 30 full and part time.

The sale is structured as a sale of 100% of the authorized and issued share capital of the company. The sale price of the business considers Working Capital at $0, however, it shall be adjusted accordingly at closing.

* Seller's Discretionary Earnings (“SDE”) is a calculation of the total financial benefit that a single full time owner-operator would derive from a business on an annual basis. SDE is the pretax and pre-interest profits, before non-cash expenses, owner's benefits, one time investments, and any non-related income or expenses. SDE may require that expenses be adjusted if a new owner (Purchaser) will necessarily need to take on a new expense. SDE is also referred to as Adjusted Cash Flow, Total Owner's Benefit, Seller's Discretionary Cash Flow, or Recast Earnings.
