Description
Attention: All pool maintenance business owners or workers interested in moving to Texas,.This is the business for you. Located in the Hill Country of Texas, which is somewhat similar to California, where you would feel like you were still at home and, in Texas, be welcomed as a neighbor. This Pool Maintenance and Repair business is grossing $227,800 per year (2024). It would be great for a young family desiring to own a business and live in the Texas Hill Country! Can you qualify for this lifestyle? This deal would qualify for SBA financing which would allow as low as a 10% down payment, if you qualify! Call me and I will see what I can do to help you. This company’s business in 2024 was $227,798. Sales were broken down by the following categories: $36,629 (16.1%) in Repair Labor; $30,304.51 (13.3%) in Part sales; Chemical sales were $31,349 (13.8%), Service Work totaled $123,670 (54.3%), and Special Service Call work of $5,845 (2.5%). According to Seller’s records, all of these work categories in 2024 showed increases over the previous 4 calendar years, except one! The business services four counties in the Texas Hill Country. They have 43 accounts in one county (commercial and residential with room for more business), 20 accounts in another county (commercial and residential with room for more business), 5 accounts in a third county (mostly large ranches that pay above average), and 3 accounts in the fourth county (lots of untapped potential). There is a lot of expansion that could be done with this business. The cost of the business is $229,750 (1.01 times annual sales). Prior to 2024, gross sales were $212,811 (2023), $207,369 (2022), $220,051 (20212), and $166,853 (2020). Steadily increasing post-covid volume makes this business an excellent SBA loan candidate. The business has a real estate element (a home and warehouse) that could possibly go with the business. The real estate portion of the sales price is $295,175. The home is a little over 1,000 sq.ft., it has a covered back porch of about 800 sq.ft. a warehouse and shed of 840 sq.ft. It may or may not be available at the time you purchase the business. Total price for the business and the real estate is $524,925. Business has an existing staff of one full-time tech with 7 years of experience, who is fully qualified in all aspects of the business. There is one one full-time trainee tech who appears to be very mechanically talented. There is one older part-time tech who is learning the service side of the business and would like to stay with the new owner on a part-time basis. The books of the business are on Quick Books and the Seller’s wife is training a full-time office person, who already knows Quick Books, on the books of the business and is very encouraged by her skills. This business provides services to seventy-six plus accounts and is the most significant provider of pool maintenance services in the four surrounding counties. It services residential, commercial, weekend ranchers, vacation homes, and vacation rentals. It does zero advertising and controls a majority of the business. There is substantial room for growth in the business for an owner who could step in and support the existing staff with additional manpower for the more profitable aspects of the business. The current scheuule only allows one day for marketing repairs and improvements to existing equipment or to the adding of features that would enhance the use of the pool by existing clients. A working owner would add substantial profit to the business. The real estate is zoned residential but has been operated as a home based business since 2009. If one wanted to expand the use of the property to include retail, rezoning should not be a problem. The real estate availability cannot be guaranteed at the time you choose to purchase the business.

Facilities & Assets
The home is 1,102 SF and is in very good condition; has a covered porch of 867 SF, which could serve many purposes; a 720 SF whs and a new 120 sf shed. The property is FULLY FENCED and sits on about one acre. The routes are being handled by 1 highly qualified tech with 7 years of experience, 1 full-time trainee and one part-time trainee with some help from the Owner, who primarily bids work, does the ordering and PR for the Firm. On hand supplies generally equal about $6,000. Equipment is minimal as the route techs have their own trucks and tools.
Support & Training
The Seller will train for 60 days and negotiate an extended mentorship with Buyer to support his success. Seller is extremely qualified to coach a buyer to success. At one time in his career, his firm was the third largest pool maintenance firm in a major Metro California City. During that time, he held positions of leadership in the association for pool maintenance.
Market & Competition
This business serves a four-county area and has very little competition. The business spends NO MONEY on advertising and is growing as much as available manpower will allow. The major clients are individual homes and commercial establishments. He services a lot of weekend ranches and vacation rentals. Weather events in the Hill Country provide many opportunities for additional service work throughout the year for cleanups and repairs. This is a place you would want to raise a family without the challenging issues typical of a big city environment!!!!
Growth Opportunities
The one skilled tech and the Owner, plus the one full-time trainee and part-time trainee are able to handle the 76 accounts on a regular schedule; however, that leaves only 1 day/week to market for and make repairs and improvements to existing equipment or to do the adding of features that would enhance the use of the pool by existing clients, which is where the profit is made. If an Owner came in and provided more assistance to the crew, more focus could be placed on the sale and/or upgrade of pools and spas. To do so would be very profitable.
Financing Options
Seller financing is available.SBA financing is available. Seller finance is negotiable but not guaranteed.
