Business

Description

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-established, full-service catering company with a 20+ year operating history and strong brand recognition in a major metropolitan market. The business specializes in high-quality event catering across corporate, institutional, private, and specialty segments—backed by long-standing client relationships, trusted venue partnerships, and a scalable operational model.

Key Highlights Include:

* Diverse Revenue Streams: The business serves four primary client categories—corporate events, weddings, education segment, and special events. This balance delivers consistent, year-round cash flow and spreads risk across multiple market verticals.

* Preferred Vendor Status: Authorized and recommended at nearly every major public and private venue in the region—including civic spaces, cultural centers, event halls, and corporate campuses. These preferred relationships generate recurring inbound leads and reduce competitive friction.

* Established Infrastructure: The company operates from a dedicated commercial facility with professional kitchen equipment, attached walk-in cooler, and secured dry storage. Onsite processes support multiple events simultaneously. Equipment and systems are included in the sale.

* Experienced Team in Place: Leadership roles include a General Manager (operations and hiring), Executive Chef (production and purchasing), Operations Manager (proposals and admin), and Venue Managers (on-site client service). An event-based roster of chefs, servers, and delivery staff provides flexible scalability. All key roles are documented, and front-of-house staff are uniformed and trained.

* Reputation for Excellence: Recognized as a 5-star caterer, particularly in the wedding and institutional markets. Strong word-of-mouth referrals and a history of excellence have created a highly regarded brand with minimal customer concentration.

* Comprehensive Systems: Formalized workflows, event templates, training protocols, and scheduling tools are in place. These systems support efficiency, consistency, and ease of transition to new ownership.

* Clean Financials: The business has a consistent track record of profitability and well-documented financials. Seller Discretionary Earnings (SDE) and EBITDA are healthy, with margins supported by strong venue access and lean labor deployment.

Growth Prospects

Significant opportunity to expand through digital marketing, SEO, and social media outreach. Room to grow institutional contracts, expand service territory, and add licensed beverage service via partnership or in-house. Operational capacity supports more events without major investment. Existing team and systems provide a scalable platform for growth under new leadership.
