👎 Margin is tight for this kind of biz.
Why?
Covid shock + high rent ($25K/mo). But — owner open to leaseback.
💥 Growth potential?
Big:
- New patents recently approved
- Expansion into automated crab-picking (huge ROI)
- Clients on 3 continents
- Can easily tap into new verticals (fruit, beer, bakery)
⚙️ Owner says biz can run on 10hrs/week Or go full throttle and scale it up. (He’s open to stay for a bit post-sale.)
If you have ops chops, or know B2B manufacturing — this is a smart pick.
