I'm working directly with the owner of an outdoor power equipment and supplies dealer in Western NC who's ready to transition. No sell-side broker; he wants to deal with a buyer directly, and I'm sourcing qualified searchers to bring to him. Owner-occupied real estate is included in the sale, but there is flexibility on that part. Buyer profile: needs to be local to Western NC or in an adjacent footprint (East TN, North GA, Upstate SC) with the ability to be boots-on-the-ground from day one. Equipment dealerships run on local relationships, and a clean ownership transition matters here. Clean SBA 7(a) fit: operating business plus owner-occupied CRE, long operating history, strong asset coverage from real estate, rolling stock, and inventory, plus a rural geography that scores well with several lenders in my network. Happy to walk through an indicative structure once I understand your thesis and equity available. Full diligence file available under NDA: multi-year P&Ls per entity, 2025 federal tax returns, current balance sheets, and a detailed asset schedule. DM me to get the file and an intro to the seller.
