Home Systems Integrator - $2.38MM/ Connecticut based

For over thirty years, The Company has enhanced Connecticut, Western Massachusetts, Westchester County (New York) and the surrounding area homes through design expertise and custom installation.  The Company’s incorporation began as a small central vacuum manufacturing company with a handful of employees fabricating, selling and installing the systems.  During the last sixteen years, The Company has grown from $500,000 to about $7 million in annual revenues by continuously expanding the scope of its products and services. Today, The Company installs central vacuum systems, security systems (and monitoring), sound systems, structured wiring, shelving, shower doors, mirrors, window blinds and bath accessories. Residential and commercial security systems have been a growth focus since 2008.

The Company has one location in CT with 24 employees serving over 2,500 builders and 18,000 total customers. Since early 2008, the Company has been utilizing a new computerized dispatch system that provides a lower cost of operation, more accuracy, and greater efficiencies in the customer service areas.

The Company has evolved into a powerful and acknowledged brand name, and is well known by builders and consumers on a statewide and national basis. The Company’s customers are primarily builders and contractors but they also serve home owners directly.  The top 10 customers represent less than 20% of total sales.

Revenues in 2008 and 2009 have declined due to the housing downturn but successful restructuring efforts in 2008 resulted in an improved profitability (almost 20%) for January – June 2009 versus the same period in 2008. The 2005-2008 median EBITDA adjusted for Owner’s Discretionary Earnings is $680,000. With the end of the recession in the third quarter 2009, the housing industry looks much brighter for the remainder of 2009 and 2010 and beyond.  First signs of that recovery have recently been evident in the company’s core market of Connecticut: the seasonally adjusted annual rate of housing permits issued was up 80% in June 09 versus May 09. Now is an opportune time for a buyer to purchase a company such as this as The Company is positioned for significant revenue and profit growth in the coming months and years.

A detailed Offering Memorandum is available upon execution of a non-disclosure agreement.
