SellerForce® presents an SBA Pre-Qualified legacy Window Treatment and Interior Design company that has built a strong presence in a high-income Southwest Florida market over nearly 30 years. This business is known for delivering custom window coverings through a premium showroom experience and in-home consultations, providing customers with a clear, personal buying process from start to finish. Their reputation has been shaped through years of consistent service, detailed design work, and a focus on quality installations that customers trust.
Business Model
This company holds a top-tier dealer position with a leading national manufacturer, giving them access to exclusive products, preferred pricing, and ongoing support. Their showroom has recently been fully remodeled with over $80,000 invested into high-end displays, creating a space that reflects the level of service customers expect. Their model combines walk-in traffic with scheduled consultations, allowing their team to handle both direct showroom sales and on-site design projects with ease.
The company operates on a made-to-order model, in which products are manufactured after purchase and shipped directly from the vendor. This keeps inventory low and reduces overhead while maintaining strong margins, with most product categories averaging close to 50%. Orders require a 90% deposit upfront, with the remaining balance collected after installation. Projects move quickly, with most completed within 2 – 3 weeks. Their average project size is around $7,500, with some projects reaching up to $40,000, depending on scope and customization.
SBA Pre-Qualification
This business has already been vetted by our SBA lending partners and is pre-qualified for acquisition financing. With this status in place, a qualified buyer can acquire the company with just 10% down, while the remainder is financed over a 10-year term at favorable interest rates. Such buyer-friendly terms make the opportunity more accessible and can accelerate the return on investment compared to traditional deal structures.
Operations
Daily operations are managed by a seasoned team handling design, sales, scheduling, and installation. Several members have 7-16 years with the company, ensuring consistency and reliability. Installations are in-house, maintaining quality and schedule control. The workflow is structured as follows: lead intake, consultation, measurement, quoting, ordering, installation, and follow-up. Systems for order management, accounting, and customer tracking are in place, enabling a new owner to step into an organized, smoothly running business.
Growth Opportunities
There is clear room for expansion across several areas that have not yet been fully developed. Marketing efforts have been limited, leaving space for growth through digital advertising, search visibility, and social media campaigns. A more structured outreach program to builders, designers, and property managers could also increase project volume on the commercial side.
Additional growth can come from focusing on motorized and smart-home window coverings, which continue to see rising demand and higher margins. Expanding into exterior shading products and adding new service areas nearby would also increase reach without major added overhead.
The business also has an opportunity to build stronger connections with past customers through email campaigns and follow-up systems, which could drive more repeat business from an already established client base.
Summary
This business offers a stable and well-run operation with strong fundamentals already in place. Their long history, experienced staff, and premium positioning give a buyer a solid foundation to build on. With the right focus on marketing, outreach, and product expansion, there is a clear path to grow revenue while maintaining the quality and reputation that has been built over time.
