Profitable Absentee Metal Fabrication Business

Profitable Absentee Metal Fabrication Business with 80% Financing
An established, absentee-run industrial services company with steady margins, long-term demand stability, and a rare up to 80% seller-financing option for up to 20 years is now available for acquisition. The business delivers OSHA-certified industrial sandblasting and protective coating services for heavy steel structures serving the construction and oil and gas sectors. Its performance has been consistent, with revenue ranging from the mid-six figures to more than one million dollars from 2022- 2024 and sellers’ discretionary earnings averaging more than $400,000 over the past four years and $575,000 in FF&E.

The company operates from a substantial industrial campus on ten acres, including an approximately 40,200-square-foot fabrication and coating facility outfitted with a 20-ton overhead crane, a high-capacity sandblasting booth, a dedicated paint booth, and specialized material-handling systems. The site also includes an 8,919-square-foot office building. Industrial permits for sandblasting and painting in Houston are extremely difficult to obtain, creating a durable competitive barrier and reinforcing the stability of the operation.

A multinational fabrication company leases part of the facility and performs engineering, cutting, and welding on-site. That activity generates a continuous, built-in pipeline of coating and sandblasting work for the business, significantly reducing the need for sales or marketing. The company already has a strong backlog for the coming year, including contracted projects totaling approximately $200,000.
The business provides labor-based services only: structure cleaning, surface preparation, sandblasting, and protective coating application. Rising demand prompted the seller to add 7,200 square feet to the original 33,000-square-foot fabrication area, expanding it to roughly 40,200 square feet and increasing throughput capacity.

The seller is prepared to finance up to 80 percent of the combined business and real estate purchase price over a term of up to 20 years for a qualified buyer. This level of financing support is exceptionally rare and materially enhances the accessibility and return potential of the acquisition. The sale includes all machinery, equipment, the full 10-acre industrial property (including an additional 3.46 acres for future development), and the existing workforce, giving a buyer an operationally ready platform with meaningful asset replacement value.

The equipment package includes a heavy-duty Atlas Copco compressor, two forklifts (one recently purchased), an abrasive blast system, a carbon monoxide monitor, and a GM Sierra truck with trailer. Office and support areas are fully furnished with computers, monitors, printers, and workstations. This comprehensive infrastructure enables rapid turnaround on large fabrication projects and positions the business to meet the stringent requirements of customers across construction, energy, and manufacturing while minimizing future capital needs.
