Duran Advisors presents this historic sign manufacturing and engraving business for sale in Southern Louisiana. The Real Estate is available for purchase with the company. This business has been operating for decades and has built an exceptional reputation across multiple industries for precision signage, engraving, and marking solutions.

The company produces and installs a wide range of signage products. Over 2,500 active customers are served across diverse industries, including oil & gas, construction, healthcare, events, and education.

The owner is retiring after decades of operation and is seeking a strategic buyer or an experienced operator who can continue the company’s legacy while unlocking untapped growth through marketing, sales, and modernizing key equipment. The general manager and long-tenured technical staff are expected to remain with the business post-transaction.

This opportunity is ideal for:
A print or signage company looking to expand into the Gulf Coast market
A B2B manufacturer seeking diversification with a strong client base
An owner-operator with technical or marketing expertise
The business is NOT tied to any franchise, so it is also a good fit for a buyer looking to establish a new franchise

The business employs 12 full-time staff, many of whom have been with the company for 5 to over 20 years, providing deep operational knowledge and continuity. Projected revenue for 2025 is approximately $1.22 million. The sale includes a ~10,240 square foot facility with room for expansion. The company maintains clean, debt-free financials using QuickBooks and does not rely on short-term financing. It serves over 2,500 active customer accounts, with its largest client accounting for less than 6% of total sales—highlighting strong customer diversification. This is a turnkey operation with exceptional brand equity and legacy relationships, including exclusive manufacturing contracts for specialty items used by regional public agencies.

There are multiple avenues for growth. A new owner could modernize the company’s online presence and search engine visibility to drive inbound B2B leads. Investing in large-format ADA and HDU signage capabilities would enable the company to secure larger contracts and improve production efficiency. Increasing outbound sales activity could open new vertical markets, and the business’s underutilized floor space offers room for new equipment to expand production capacity.

This business is a good candidate for bank financing. Real estate was recently appraised and qualifies for SBA or conventional financing. A buyer could potentially acquire the business with as little as 10% down.

This is a structured sale with the following deadlines:
12/10 – Question Submission Deadline
12/17 – IOI Submission Deadline
01/25 – Due Diligence End & Close (may be extended for financing)

A detailed 60+ page Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM) and Matterport 3D scan of the facility are available to fully disclosed and qualified buyers.
