There is limited technical knowledge required and amply room to expand the markets and end use for the business' product or supply chain criteria, much of which would be capital dependant.

This business specializes in modular storage solutions as well as repurposing product for various other uses and has built a commanding reputation for reliability, customization, and quality. The company serves clients across multiple sectors, including construction, industrial, commercial, and institutional markets, in addition to individual buyers.

Based primarily in Atlantic Canada, the business can be overseen and managed from anywhere and has the ability to expand into markets across the country. Established trusted relationships support ongoing access to quality supply and volumes needed for continued growth.

The fastest way to enhanced value creation would be to gradually become your own supplier, but partnering with a manufacturer VS acquiring wholesale. We expect a 20% improvement in Gross Margins by doing so.

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.
