AN ESTABLISHED PLATFORM, NOT A STARTUP • Eco Relics is one of the largest architectural-salvage and slab-based material platforms in the U.S. and the largest in the Southeast, combining antiques, reclaimed and specialty lumber, live-edge slabs, processing, and custom fabrication.
• Approximately $3M in management-estimated tangible operating assets, 300,000+ board feet across 50+ wood species, specialized equipment, two Jacksonville facilities, and experienced managers are already in place. • Customers select materials in person and turn them into higher-value furniture and fabrication projects. Recreating this inventory depth, production capability, sourcing network, and retail exposure would require substantial time and capital.
• The established audience includes approximately 62K Facebook followers, 16K Instagram followers, and 20K+ email subscribers, built over more than a decade with approximately $400K in Facebook advertising. CURRENT SALES AND OWNER-OPERATOR ECONOMICS • Average annual net sales for 2021–2024 were $1,288,882.50, rounded to approximately $1.
3M, excluding stated sales tax. This is a four-year historical average, not current-year or trailing-twelve-month revenue. • The current preliminary model shows approximately $174,000–$224,000 of Year-1 owner-operator economic capacity after modeled operating costs, base rent, and scheduled financing, before final contractual cash-flow allocation.
• Staffing and payroll changes, purchasing controls, identified overhead reductions, and the fabrication shop rate of approximately $135 per hour are already in place. The starting case does not require increased customer traffic or underlying unit-sales volume. • Accumulated inventory and established low-cash-cost sourcing reduce early purchasing needs.
Existing equipment payments decline as loans mature; those reductions are already included in the model. • The projection includes the buyer's active management role once. It is preliminary and pre-tax, not historical SDE, guaranteed compensation, or a promised distribution.
Working capital, reserves, unusual capital expenditures, and final contractual allocation affect cash available to the buyer. UNDERDEVELOPED SALES CHANNELS • Expand Shopify and national retail/wholesale material sales; pursue the large live-edge dining, conference, and boardroom-table market, especially corporate and hospitality projects. These expansion opportunities are excluded from the starting owner-operator projection.
SELLER-SUPPORTED PATH TO OWNERSHIP • $2,000,000 total Business Consideration; $500,000 initial payment. The remaining $1,500,000 is addressed over the proposed ten-year Management-to-Ownership term through verified existing-debt principal credits and a residual Seller Note, subject to final terms and lender requirements. • BuyerCo receives contractual operating authority at commencement; Seller retains legal ownership until the required payments and transfer conditions are satisfied.
• One integrated business, not separate pieces. The real estate is excluded and occupied under separate long-term absolute triple-net leases. Additional working capital and reserves are required.
• Owners are retiring after thirteen years. Structured seller transition support and two long-term managers provide continuity for an active operator or operating partnership in Jacksonville. • The revised CIM, historical financial exhibit, and detailed owner-operator cash-flow model are available to qualified buyers after a confidentiality agreement.
