Customers
The business primarily serves B2B/commercial customers and agricultural customers, including farmers. Much of the customer base consists of long-standing, repeat customers originally acquired through the previous owner's direct sales efforts. The business benefits from an established customer base developed over several decades
Customer Acquisition
The business primarily relies on existing customer relationships and repeat business. The current owner's father originally developed the customer base through direct sales and relationship building. The current owner stated that he does not actively market or focus on growing the business, instead concentrating on maintaining existing operations. This may represent an opportunity for a buyer to pursue additional sales and customer acquisition, although future growth is not guaranteed.
Team
No traditional W-2 employees. The owner stated that the business uses 1099 independent contractors.
Owner's Role
The owner currently operates the business as an owner-operator. He manages the day-to-day operations, services existing customers, and handles the ongoing responsibilities of running the business.
Reason for Selling
The owner is looking to relocate and pursue other personal priorities. Selling the business would provide greater flexibility to move and transition away from daily operations.

Additional Notes
The business was established in 1985 and has operated for approximately 40 years, developing a long-standing customer base in the welding and industrial supply market. The company primarily serves commercial and agricultural customers, with much of its revenue generated through established relationships and repeat orders rather than active marketing or new customer acquisition. Approximately $60,000–$70,000 in inventory is expected to be included in the transaction, according to the owner. The business currently operates without traditional W-2 employees and relies on its owner and independent contractors. The owner estimated approximately $500,000 in profit for the previous year. However, after his CPA accounted for various business expenses, deductions, and tax write-offs, the reported profit was brought down to approximately $40,000–$50,000.
