***Special Note: In a victory for small business buyers, the recent $900BB stimulus bill directs the SBA to pay the first 6 months of new SBA 7(a) loans approved between February 1 and September 30, 2021 (up to $9,000/month). Our advice: Don’t wait. Find a quality business and get moving quickly. Banks will be busy this year and buyers that wait until July/August will likely lose out.

Opportunities For Growth:
(1) Post-COVID Growth: The company is well-positioned for rapid growth as things continue to normalize post-COVID. Lunch delivery demand will likely skyrocket as eating in restaurants will be limited for employees and catering options will certainly remain attractive to customers as well.
(2) Healthcare Customers: There are a number of hospitals in the immediate area which the Company could look to expand into and provide the large-scale, safe meals they are always looking for.
(3) Warehouse Customers: Industrial warehouses are often built isolated from other establishments, and the company could meet their delivery needs while others are out of range.
Investment Highlights:
(1) Established and Supportive Franchisor: The franchisor has a strong 30-year history of success due to its proven business model. Franchisers are given support in real estate, finance, site build out, sales, point-of-sale training, marketing, recruitment, and off site – on site training.
(2) Delivery / Catering: While most other companies that offer catering and delivery as a secondary service, this business focuses primarily on providing the best catering experience for clients. This way, the Company’s services are superior and will attract more customers.
(3) Prime Location: The Company is a mere 7 minutes from downtown Jacksonville and sits adjacent to US-95.
(4) Safety: Cleanliness has never been a bigger priority than it currently is and Apple Spice’s individually packaged meals guarantee customer safety.
