Best West Fasteners
Industrial | 6,675 SqFt
Marketing description
For the first time in 48 years, Best West Fasteners and the industrial building it has operated from since 1979 are available for acquisition together.
This is not a turnaround. This is not a startup. This is a 48-year-old cash-flowing distribution business with expanding margins, a tenured staff, and a free-and-clear freestanding warehouse in one of Los Angeles County's most supply-constrained industrial submarkets, available as a single owner-user package.
The business distributes fasteners, bolts, nuts, rivets, and industrial hardware to commercial and trade customers across greater Los Angeles. Gross margins have expanded from 50.7% to 61.5% over three years on stable revenue: a quality-of-earnings story that speaks to pricing power and customer loyalty built over four decades.
A key long-term employee is prepared to remain post-closing and run day-to-day operations, significantly reducing transition risk for the incoming buyer.
The real property is a 6,675 SF freestanding industrial warehouse on an 11,065 SF gated corner lot, zoned MR1-1, built 1986, free and clear. Sun Valley industrial vacancy sits at 2.6%. Freestanding product under 10,000 SF in this corridor rarely trades. The building is two minutes from the I-5 freeway and five minutes from Hollywood Burbank Airport: an irreplaceable location for any industrial operator.
The combined asking price of $3,540,000 represents a 9.2% blended yield on total annual income of $326,213 — $235,736 in recast seller's discretionary earnings from the business and $90,477 in stabilized net operating income from the real property. The buyer owns the building, operates the business, and eliminates all lease exposure on day one.
Full offering memorandum available upon request. Detailed financials released to qualified buyers upon execution of a Non-Disclosure Agreement. Do not contact the business or its employees directly. All inquiries through listing broker.
