Printing & Custom Apparel

Full-service print shop with long-term school and municipal contracts, upgraded equipment, and a modern facility positioned for growth.

Business Highlights

  • Established screen-printing and custom apparel company with 10 years of profitable operations
  • Significant equipment base valued between $250K-$300K, bolstered by recent investment in a new sublimation machine for multi-color printing
  • Relocating into a newly built 50x100ft aluminum facility (to replace the current leased space) that resolves roof issues and enhances workflow efficiency
  • Serves a repeat customer base of 10 fire departments and 20 schools, plus additional corporate and retail clients, with relationships spanning 7+ years
  • Product range includes t-shirts, jackets, hats, uniforms, and specialty apparel
  • Four salaried staff ($1,900 weekly payroll) and three commission-based sales reps covering schools and municipal clients
  • Business hours run 6 AM-3:30 PM, with the current owner focused on ordering and employees dedicated to production
  • Strong employee retention, with the owner emphasizing that staff should remain through the transition
  • Sales include all equipment, systems, and ~$10K inventory for turnkey operations
  • The owner is willing to discuss seller financing

Considerations / Questions to Ask

  • How current is the equipment mix and what financing obligations (if any) remain?
  • What are the terms of the lease for the new facility, and are there purchase options?
  • How much revenue comes from top clients (fire departments, schools), and what is the customer concentration risk?
  • What onboarding support will the franchise provide to a new owner?
  • How is profit calculated, and what adjustments should be made to understand true owner earnings?
  • Are there responsibilities or relationships managed directly by the owner that are critical to the business?

Opportunities

  • Broaden beyond schools and fire departments into corporate contracts, local businesses, and retail outlets
  • Increase coverage and incentive sales reps to expand into new territories
  • Add digital marketing, SEO, and social campaigns to generate online orders
  • Build a dedicated website with online ordering to capture custom jobs from individuals, teams, and organizations beyond the immediate region.
  • Capitalize on new sublimation equipment to produce higher-margin specialty items.
