DistributionFounded in 1999, the business is a recognized name in the local distribution market. Revenue is diversified across residential and commercial accounts, with no single customer representing a significant concentration. A professionally built website generates steady inbound inquiries with no ongoing ad spend. Staffing is stable, with low turnover relative to the industry and a working culture that has kept key people in place. What began as a small operation in 1999 has grown steadily through referrals, repeat customers, and a reputation for doing the job right. Many customer relationships span a decade or more, and several commercial accounts are on multi-year arrangements. Day-to-day operations are handled by the team, with the owner focused on oversight and growth. The Tacoma market continues to grow, and demand for distribution services has remained resilient through economic cycles. Financial records are well organized and will support lender due diligence, including SBA financing. Ideal for a hands-on owner, or as an add-on acquisition for a regional player.
