Gold Coast Patio and Carport Installer – Established 1997

Business ID: XB156109

A right-sized, profitable operation delivering FY26 PEBITDA of $320,697 on revenue of $1.57M, ready for a new owner-operator or quoter.


  Established in 1997, this custom patio, carport and pergola installer has built almost three decades of reputation across the Tweed Coast, Gold Coast and Brisbane regions. The business operates a full turnkey model – from initial quote through council-approved drawings to on-site installation – supported by dedicated factory premises, an established supplier relationship on favourable terms, and CRM systems in place since 2014.

Over FY25 and FY26, the business went through a deliberate, managed downsizing from two installation crews to one, paired with a significant reduction in overheads and marketing spend. That reset shows clearly in the numbers: gross margin recovered from 11% in the transition year to 26% in FY26, and PEBITDA nearly doubled to $320,697 on a leaner cost base. The result is a smaller, tighter, genuinely profitable business – with the existing premises, systems and team already sized to support a return to two crews and higher revenue, without relocation or rebuild.

BENEFITS AND FEATURES

   -  Trading for close to three decades across the Tweed Coast, Gold Coast and Brisbane regions

   -  FY26 PEBITDA of $320,697, up from $164,363 in FY25 – gross margin recovered from 11% (FY25) to 26% (FY26) following a deliberate cost reset

   -  Turnkey residential offering – patios, carports and pergolas – across single-skin and insulated roof options, multiple structure and foundation types

   -  Long-standing main supplier relationship, with confirmed favourable pricing terms extended to an incoming owner

   -  Seven-person team including an experienced installation team leader and dedicated office support; a new owner will take on the quoting/sales function directly or engage a replacement quoter following a handover period

   -  Full CRM in place since 2014, holding a complete history of won, lost and pending jobs – immediate visibility for a new owner from day one

   -  Cloud accounting (Xero) and structured job-costing templates already embedded in day-to-day operations

   -  Marketing spend deliberately minimised through the recent transition – clear upside from reactivating paid channels, backed by a strong 60-review, 4.8-star Google rating and over 9,300 social followers

   -  A new online installation cost calculator is about to launch, expected to reduce speculative first-visit quoting and lift site-visit conversion

   -  Existing premises sized for growth – ample capacity to return to two installation teams without relocating

   -  Established residential client base with a track record of repeat customers and positive reviews

   -  Clear expansion pathways into adjacent product lines such as car sheds and general sheds

TERMS OF SETTLEMENT

The current owner will provide a handover and training period to support a smooth transition, with exact duration and terms to be negotiated with a qualified purchaser. The owner does not intend to remain with the business beyond this handover — a new owner will need to take on the quoting/sales role personally or engage a replacement quoter. The existing installation and office team is expected to remain in place. The sale price includes all plant, equipment, vehicles and trailers per the business’s asset register, together with business systems, processes and goodwill. Stock is not included in the price and will be sold at valuation (SAV) on settlement. Vendor finance is not part of the current terms but can be discussed with the agent.

This opportunity will suit an established carport or patio operator seeking a ready-made Gold Coast/Brisbane footprint with systems and a trained installation team already in place; a hands-on tradesperson or quoter ready to step directly into the sales and quoting role; or an investor prepared to engage a quoter to run that function while overseeing a stable production team. With margins recovered, overheads right-sized, and existing capacity to scale back up to two crews, this business offers a rare combination of proven downside protection and clear upside.

ASKING PRICE

$250,000 (Goodwill and Assets) + Stock at valuation (SAV)

This equates to approximately 0.8x FY26 PEBITDA of $320,697 – a notably low earnings multiple for a business of this tenure and margin profile. The price includes all plant, equipment and goodwill as listed in the business’s asset register; stock is excluded and will be sold at valuation on settlement.
