Central Texas Paint Co
Business Overview:
This offering represents an opportunity to acquire an established residential and light commercial painting contractor operating in Central Texas. The company has a long operating history and a strong reputation for consistent workmanship, reliable scheduling, and professional project execution.
The business generated approximately $1.48M in revenue in the most recent year, with Seller’s Discretionary Earnings of approximately $365,000, reflecting normalized performance after owner add-backs. Earnings margins are consistent with well-run painting contractors of similar size and scope.
Services include interior and exterior residential painting, light commercial projects, and recurring repaint and maintenance work. Revenue is diversified across homeowners, commercial clients, and property management relationships, with no material customer concentration.
Operations are supported by trained crews and established estimating, scheduling, and job management processes. The owner is not required to perform field labor and is not the primary painter. Day-to-day execution is handled by crew leads, while the owner’s involvement is focused on oversight and coordination. This structure supports transferability to either an owner-operator or a manager-led buyer.
Customer acquisition is largely referral-driven, supported by repeat clients and long-standing relationships. The company has maintained steady demand without heavy reliance on advertising. A buyer implementing more structured digital marketing, CRM discipline, or commercial outreach could unlock additional growth without materially increasing overhead.
The business owns the standard vehicles, tools, and equipment required to operate efficiently. Capital expenditure needs are modest and consistent with normal trade maintenance. The company does not rely on any single contract, builder, or customer for revenue stability.
The asking price of $1.2M reflects a reasonable multiple of normalized discretionary earnings given the company’s scale, operating structure, and cash flow profile. The business is expected to be suitable for SBA financing for qualified buyers, subject to lender underwriting.
The seller is pursuing a transition aligned with personal planning and is willing to provide an orderly handoff to support continuity with employees and key relationships.
This opportunity is well-suited for a buyer seeking:
- A stable trades business with proven cash flow
- An add-on acquisition for an existing construction services platform
- A business with operational infrastructure already in place

What Does “Open” Mean in Our Listings?
When you see “Open*” as the asking price on a listing, it means we have not set a specific list price for that business. Instead, our team has thoroughly reviewed current market value ranges with the seller and, in most cases, completed a “pre-flight” with one or more lenders. Sellers have a clear expectation of value, but “Open” signals their willingness to review and consider all reasonable offers. We encourage buyers to conduct their own market research and submit offers. This approach fosters flexibility and creates opportunities for buyers and sellers to find the best fit.
