The owner/seller has other business interests and now, after 16 years in this business, would like to sell in order to concentrate full time and efforts on the other business endeavors.

The business is relatively non-technical and does not take an industry specific individual to run and grow this business. It takes a person with good business acumen and a business background, and one with some sales and marketing experience and acumen would help. The company has a very good team of employees. Very light turnover and the technical know-how is well in place with these employees.

Anticipating that any buyer will be asking for the current owner's continued involvement at some level for a reasonable period of time following the close of sale to any buyer, in order to ensure a smooth transition of ownership and control and to assist the buyer in learning the business operations, the current owner is fully prepared to provide such. His hope and plan is to be totally free from this business within a year or so, although with other business interests in the area, he has no plans to leave the area and would continue to make himself available beyond that time, on an as need, if needed basis.
