SBA PreQual Manufacturing Co | Mobile Food Units

Broker presents an SBA Pre-Qualified Manufacturing Company that has spent 13+ years building Custom Mobile Food Units for entrepreneurs entering the Food Truck and Trailer space. The company focuses on made-to-order food trailers and trucks, producing fully customized units that range from compact builds to large, high-value installations. Their work serves customers who want ownership, independence, and a reliable platform to launch their own mobile food operations. Demand in the mobile food market has continued to rise year after year, and this business has remained consistently busy while intentionally staying small and controlled.

This business has gone through the SBA Pre-Qualification process, which provides Qualified Buyers with an opportunity to purchase these assets with as little as 10% down, with the balance of the SBA Loan amortized over an entire 10-year period, all at highly competitive interest rates.

Their builds are completed in-house by a small, experienced production team, supported by trusted external specialists for electrical, roofing, and fire suppression work. The seller works a few hours weekly (semi-absentee) and handles scheduling, materials planning, and customer coordination, while the shop team handles day-to-day production. Orders follow a structured payment schedule, with deposits collected upfront to cover materials, keeping cash flow steady and reducing working capital requirements.

Key Valuation Points

With a pricing strategy that caters to a broad range of customer needs, the Average order size is approximately $55,000, and offerings range from $30,000 for compact trailers to $200,000 for more expansive units. The business experiences a consistent demand cycle throughout the year, ensuring a stable revenue stream with only minor seasonal fluctuations during the holiday period.

On average, 10 active builds are in process at a time, demonstrating controlled capacity rather than aggressive expansion. Marketing has been kept simple, relying primarily on Google Ads, a basic website presence, and classified platforms. Even with minimal marketing effort and no formal sales staff, inbound inquiries average several contacts per day, highlighting strong underlying demand for their product offering. The seller has intentionally avoided scaling beyond a comfortable size, leaving clear room for a new owner to grow production volume.

Opportunities exist to introduce stock or specialty trailers, add used units, build a stronger digital presence, and invest in paid advertising beyond current channels. With excellent margins, a long operating history, and a repeatable production model already in place, a new owner could increase output without reinventing the business. The potential to scale through enhanced marketing strategies and operational expansion makes this an attractive acquisition for those looking to capitalize on a proven business model in a growing market.
