SW Florida Locksmith-71423

This well established locksmith firm was originally founded in 1985 and the current owner acquired the business in 2005.  From the two retail locations in Port Charlotte and Venice, the firm provides full locksmithing and key service across Charlotte County and Southern Sarasota County, serving the automotive, residential and commercial markets and they sell safes.  The firm has agreements in place with AAA for "vehicles opened" services as well as lost keys replaced.  There is tremendous room for growth since the current owner has operated as basically an absentee owner for many years due to health issues, working only 4 to 6 hours per week.  With a full-time owner/manager, many new growth opportunities will become evident by being engaged and following through with customers.  The firm is a well-known "Charlotte County Institution" for the past 35 years as locals comment, due to the visibility of the vans being mobile billboards.  Business has been lender pre-qualified and may be eligible for an E2 Visa.
