Efforts to grow the business took a back seat when the owners husband suddenly got sick and had to keep the business running smoothly.Although the owner is hoping to have a change of lifestyle, they would like to stay involved post-close to help a new buyer take the business to the next level. This continued involvement will significantly reduce risks associated with an acquisition and ensure a seamless transition.The key factor that will push the Companies growth is a new hire made in February 2022. This new hire (owners current spouse), has been a food broker for over 50 years and recently retired from a prestigious food brokerage in California. A new buyer will have continued guidance of day-to-day operations from the current owner and 50+ years’ experience in food brokering from the owners spouse. This is a very favorable combination that will lead to rapid growth in 2022 and many years to come!The proposed transaction asks for a large upfront cash payment. However, because the owner and owners spouse would like to stay involved to help the company grow, an earn-out would be considered for the right buyer.The company was founded in 1990 and was purchased by the current owner in 2014.
