Business Summary
The metals distribution industry has a number of suppliers dealing in larger quantity product supply. End users in this market space often need smaller quantities. Our client, a multinational franchisor specializes in distributing small quantities of metal at higher gross margins often with value added. One of the unique selling propositions of the company is that it has no minimum order quantity offering customers the ability to order only the products and services they need, processed to their exact specifications. As the leading niche solution provider within this industry, the Company succeeds in this multi-billion dollar industry through a franchise business model. Products are available for quick delivery or cash-and-carry pick up. Many customer relationships are long term and the company’s value added model generates superior operating margins. As a franchised business, the buyer will benefit from a proven business model with support, training and guidance from the well established franchisor. The ideal buyer possesses a business-to-business and/or sales background. An industrial products background is not required but would be a benefit. Business development, staff management and multi-tasking are essential skills. Operations support and full training will be provided by an organization with a strong commitment to its franchisees. The turn-key business comes complete with fixtures, inventory, systems and existing customer and supplier relationships. The local facility has operated in the same location for several years, and has built a robust and loyal customer base.
