Business Description

ASKING PRICE: $825,000 | 2026 YTD REVENUE: $2.80M | INVENTORY INCLUDED

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a long-established, asset-rich premium appliance dealership serving the greater Sacramento market since 1946. Under the same family ownership for more than 40 years, this respected business has built lasting relationships with residential contractors, builders, remodelers, and homeowners throughout the region.

Unlike traditional appliance retailers, the business operates largely through a presold-order model. Customers order appliances and pay deposits, and the company purchases, stores, and delivers the equipment when construction or remodeling projects are ready. This specialized service, combined with premium manufacturer relationships, creates a competitive advantage over conventional big-box and online retailers.

The business generated more than $3 million in annual revenue during each of 2022, 2023, and 2024. Following a difficult 2025, operations have shown a significant recovery in 2026, with approximately $2.80 million in revenue and $150,000 in Seller's Discretionary Earnings through August 31.

INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

  • 80-Year Operating History: Established in 1946 with more than four decades under current family ownership and longstanding relationships throughout Sacramento's construction and remodeling industries.

  • Strong 2026 Recovery: Through August 31, 2026, the business generated $2,797,426 in revenue and approximately $149,819 in owner-operated SDE. First-half 2026 revenue increased approximately 30% compared with the same period in 2025.

  • Substantial Inventory Included: Approximately $808,000 in physical inventory at carrying value as of September 30, 2026, including approximately $542,000 of showroom/display inventory. Inventory values are subject to verification.

  • Established Presold Order Book: Approximately $711,000 in outstanding customer orders as of September 30, 2026. The presold model provides visibility into pending fulfillment activity, although future profitability depends on deliveries, new orders, and associated costs.

  • Premium Manufacturer Relationships: Established authorized-dealer relationships with leading high-end appliance manufacturers, supported by a knowledgeable sales team and specialized contractor service capabilities. Continuation of applicable dealer authorizations is subject to manufacturer approval.

  • Potential Seller Financing: The seller is open to considering meaningful seller financing for a qualified buyer with a substantial down payment, subject to mutually acceptable terms.

  • Experienced Staff and Seller Transition: An established team supports day-to-day sales and operations. The retiring owner is willing to provide transition assistance and introductions to key contractor and manufacturer relationships.

UNDERSTANDING THE 2025 RESULTS

Reported profitability declined substantially in 2025, followed by a meaningful improvement in 2026.

A key aspect of the company's business model is that revenue is recognized upon delivery rather than when customer orders are placed. The presold order book increased during 2025 and peaked at approximately $1.5 million in March 2026, providing a pipeline of orders awaiting delivery.

The subsequent improvement in 2026 revenue and earnings is consistent with significant delivery activity and fulfillment of accumulated orders. However, the extent to which the recovery reflects delivery timing versus underlying changes in customer demand remains an important consideration for prospective buyers.

Detailed financial statements and supporting operating information are available for qualified buyers.

REASON FOR SALE

After more than 40 years of ownership, the seller is retiring and seeking a qualified successor to continue the company's longstanding relationships and operations.

CONFIDENTIALITY AND NEXT STEPS

This is a confidential business offering. A signed Non-Disclosure Agreement is required to receive the company name, location, updated Confidential Information Memorandum, and detailed financial information.

The transaction is structured as an asset sale, including physical inventory. The outstanding presold orders, customer deposits, remaining customer balances, and related fulfillment obligations are interconnected and are not additive to inventory value. Their treatment will be established in the purchase agreement.
