Services / Sell Your Sign and Print Company
Sell your sign or print company to a buyer who knows the equipment matters.
RockHaven Capital buys sign, print, and graphics companies directly from their owners.
Repeat business accounts and working equipment carry these shops, so both get a close read.
Who We Buy From
The sign and print companies we buy
Sign and print shops serve other businesses, and the best accounts order again and again. A property manager or a franchise group is worth more than a year of walk-in jobs.
Electrical sign work carries a license in some states. If your shop does that work, we talk through who holds the license early rather than late.
Commercial sign shops
Shops making and installing signs for local businesses. Install capability alongside production is a strong combination.
Wide-format and graphics shops
Banners, displays, and graphics produced for repeat commercial clients. Event and retail accounts often order on a cycle.
Commercial print shops
Printers serving business accounts with standing orders. A book of accounts beats a counter full of one-time jobs.
Vehicle wraps and fleet graphics
Shops wrapping commercial fleets and work trucks. Fleet accounts tend to return as vehicles turn over.

What's My Business Worth? Book a CallWhat We Look At
Five things we check first
A sign or print company proves its cash flow through its account book and its production floor. These five checks show us what holds after you leave.
-
Revenue of $1M to $10M a year
That band is our buying range. A shop in that range has a production team and more than walk-in work.
-
Cash flow of $300K and up
It has to be visible in the tax returns. We read job costing against those returns before we price.
-
Business accounts that order again
Repeat accounts are the revenue a buyer can plan around. We look at how much of last year came from accounts that ordered before.
-
Equipment owned and running
Printers, plotters, and install trucks should be listed with age and condition. Leases and service contracts should be clear before anyone prices them.
-
Production and install staff in place
Jobs should move from design to install without you touching each one. A lead installer or production manager carries real value.

Why Owners Talk To Us
A direct buyer changes the conversation
Sign and print owners usually know every rival in town by name. Here is what changes when you sell without a public listing.
-
We are the buyer, not a broker
You deal directly with the firm that would own your shop. Your account list is not shown to the sign company across town.
One conversation with the buyer, not a parade of strangers through your business. -
Your accounts stay quiet
Property managers and franchise clients hear nothing while we talk. They meet a completed decision rather than a sale rumor.
Your staff, customers, and competitors never find out from a listing. -
Your production team stays
Designers, operators, and installers are the shop in practice. After a sale, most of them keep doing the same work.
In most cases, the people who helped you build it keep their jobs. -
Equipment counted in the price
We read the equipment list as part of the value. Owned machines in working order show up in the number.
A straight number early, with the reason behind it.
The listed route, by the numbers
Listing a sign shop tells your accounts and your rivals the same news at the same time. These figures show the usual shape of that route.

How It Works
Four steps from first call to close
Four steps, and you deal with us directly at each one.
A private conversation
We talk through your accounts, your equipment, and your reasons for selling.
A straight valuation
We read your tax returns and your account history and come back with a value. If the number is not there, we will tell you that too.
A straight number early, with the reason behind it.A structure that fits
Cash is paid at close, and seller financing is used where it fits.
A clean close
The paperwork is short and written in plain language. Once terms are agreed, we aim to close in four to eight weeks.
A real close date in weeks, not a listing that sits while the market decides.Working with an advisor or broker? They hear back from us within two business days, and their fee is protected.
