Business Overview
- The licenses and entities of two businesses are being sold here, one for salvaging auto scrap metal and the other for selling pre-owned vehicles. Currently, the main income is from scrap materials.
- Our revenue primarily comes from the metal recycling and junkyard center, located in Columbus, Ohio. This well-established business has been operating successfully for 22 years. It specializes in dismantling vehicles to extract valuable materials such as scrap metals, aluminum blocks, wire harnesses, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, and copper. Complete cars are processed on-site to recover and recycle these components efficiently.
- The facility includes machinery capable of processing 22 cars per hour, with a current daily capacity of 60 cars.
- Inventory is sourced from 12 regular suppliers as well as two major salvage auctions—IAAI and Copart.
- An additional revenue stream comes from the sale of pre-owned vehicles.
- The business employs 22 staff members and manages day-to-day operations efficiently with an experienced team in place.
- A professional website is also included in the sale to support visibility and operations.
- The significant growth last year was driven by an increase in business volume and new customer demand.
- We are fully registered with the State of Ohio and hold key permits and licenses, including: Salvage license, EPA license, and City license (no longer issued in Ohio)
- The key advantage of this business lies in its licensing: obtaining a new salvage license in Ohio or elsewhere in the U. S. is extremely difficult due to strict EPA regulations and the current freeze on issuing new licenses.
- As a result, salvage yard owners are assigning their own value and pricing, and there are only a limited number of licensed salvage yards in both Ohio and the United States that can legally purchase vehicles—making this a rare and highly valuable opportunity for the right buyer.
