Unique Established Engine Filter Manufacturing & Distribution Business

Seller Financing Available

Experience growing / scaling engine products across industries globally?

This is your opportunity to acquire a unique manufacturer and distributor of reusable, high-performance engine oil filters. Established almost 25 years ago as a boutique/hobby business, the business has grown to currently having over 140 different filter models used across a variety of industries in a variety of applications. The business is poised for immediate growth in the Fleet and Heavy-Duty Equipment industries.

There are many market drivers that fuel the reputation and growth of the brand, including performance, quality, utility, maintenance savings, environmental, and more. The product serves to answer a multitude of needs and fits nicely into individual consumer applications as well as industrial, fleet, OEM and military.

Prospective buyers PLEASE take note of the following: The business has generated revenues between $400K and $880K over the past several years, with 2024 currently at half the performance of 2023. If this concerns you, we ask that you refrain from inquiring further. The business has been operated as a hobby business with very little outgoing sales and marketing efforts. In addition, the very reasonable terms the seller is offering take into account the perceived risk of prospective buyers. The seller is ethical and honest and is meticulous. He is eager to share his knowledge with the right person.

While all financial information can be made available, if you are focused solely on financial analytics and do not share the vision of what an established, high-quality product in a niche market can achieve with proper marketing and scalability, then this opportunity is not for you.

Furthermore, it is essential we explain the value proposition of what is being offered: This business has never been operated by a true business “scaler.” For the ideal buyer, this win be a win/win for the buyer and seller. For ONLY $150,000, you are getting a fully operational office and shop, trained employees, 2 functional revenue producing websites, longstanding relationships with hundreds of dealers, a 25-year legacy, established manufacturing relationships, a patent, training and mentorship, approximately $30,000 of assets, tradeshow equipment, marketing materials, detailed processes and operational manuals. The business is holding approximately $500,000 of sellable parts and filter inventory, and seller can confidently demonstrate all such value.

After submitting NDA, please provide a summary of your skills and qualifications. It doesn’t have to be formal; we just want to ensure we are a potential match before arranging a meeting. Additionally, we need to understand your financial capability to complete the transaction.

We understand that our requirements may filter out many potential buyers, and we are okay with this as we seek a specific type of buyer. If you are that buyer, you will find a high-quality, transparent seller who is invested in your success, willing to retain equity in the deal, and provide mentorship going forward.
Ideal Buyer: This isn't your typical business sale, where price = multiple of EBITA . We're not looking for someone to just buy a job. Instead, we seek a growth-minded buyer who sees the potential to scale this unique business. The path to scaling requires capital investment. There is approximately $500,000 of usable parts and sellable inventory. The owner is flexible and willing to stay on board in various capacities post-sale. Seller is open to creative sale structures including cash, seller financing, earnouts, retained equity, and combinations thereof. This business appeals to automotive enthusiasts, engineers, manufacturers, and those with mechanical aptitudes. But equally crucial are traits like business development, scalability, and vision.
