Supplier of On-Site Truck-Mixed Concrete-SOLD

San Diego County
California

 

Executive Summary

An excellent well established service business catering to a unique niche in the construction industry. Since 1975, this Company has supplied on-site truck-mixed concrete prepared to the customer's specification. Specially designed trucks haul the materials to the jobsite in separate containers where it is then mixed by the driver under the customer's direction. Customers range from small contractors to homeowners to governmental agencies to large contractors with small projects. Plenty of opportunity exists to expand this business into other areas of San Diego County. There is no direct competition to this business. Very large ready-mix concrete companies have minimum loads of (generally) 7 1/2 cubic yards of concrete. This Company can mix as little as one cubic yard.

​

Company highlights:

​

* The forecasts for the construction industry in San Diego indicate a dramatic surge in activity over the next five years.

​

*A considerable portion of the business is other than new construction related (ie: street and utility maintenance, government contracts, etc.)

​

*This business is the only company in its field eligible for Small Business Administration (SBA) set aside projects and procurement.

​

*This business has never been actively marketed-only yellow page advertising and repeat business has driven its current sales.

​

*The opportunity exists to expand into three areas not presently served. Each location can be controlled from the current base in San Diego and each would serve 20 mile radius.
